A sixth-grader's life changes when he discovers an old go board with a ghostly go master's spirit, leading him on a journey of self-discovery and mastery.

His life completely changes when he finds an old bloodstained go board in his grandfather's attic. The ghost of an ancient go master named Fujiwara-no-Sai was trapped in the board and soon becomes a part of Hikaru's consciousness. Together Hikaru and Sai make an unstoppable go-playing team!
