Given the clear authorial intent, this is probably best qualified as Foe Romance Subtext rather than Foe Yay Shipping, but YMMV.

Added DiffLines:

* FoeRomanceSubtext: Hikaru and Akira early on. See HoYay below.

** Sai. In his backstory, he was DrivenToSuicide after he was framed for cheating at a Go match and lost his job and reputation. Since then, he has been haunting an old Go board waiting for someone through which he can play his beloved Go once more, but the first person he found (Honinbo Shusaku) died young, and his next "vessel", Hikaru, initially didn't want to play Go at all. As Hikaru finally relents to his wishes and starts growing as a fine player on his own right, Sai realizes that ''he's'' just the tool to foster Hikaru, Akira and the next generation, and starts disappearing. His desperation to play more games before his time is truly up, and Hikaru not believing and/or getting annoyed with him, makes his eventual departure even more heartbreaking.

"What an Idiot!" is now Flame Bait.


* WhatAnIdiot: There are several times when Hikaru rashly ignores Sai's advice and plays haphazardly, losing as a result. Akira even gets pissed off when he thinks Hikaru is doing this to spite him.

As a rule, band names don't go in quotation marks, but song names do.


** The first opening theme, ''[[https://youtu.be/ouvNTlTsyPg Get Over]]'' by "Dreams" is just amazing. This song is one of the main reasons why Hikaru no Go is popular even in countries that do not have regular Go tournaments.
** The first ending theme, ''[[https://youtu.be/xQLlGzJXu7c Bokura no Bouken]]'' by "Kids Alive" is so full of energy and keeps the audiences excited about how the next episode would play.

I don't think this is relevant. EVERY male character in Hn G who isn't yet of High School age is voiced by a woman. Akira, Hikaru, Suyong, Ochi, Waya, Fuku, etc.


** Touya Akira looks strangely girly too, with his jaw-length bob hairstyle and rather ambiguous clothes. There is ''lots'' of fan-art around which puts him girl's clothes. Akira's case isn't hurt by the fact that [[CrossDressingVoices he's voiced by a woman]].
