The Totally Epic HikaGo Reread - Vol. 5

[effex]

~Volume 5 of Hikaru no Go~

Chapters 35 - 43

I am ~officially~ moving Epic Post time to 3pm (US Central) because, honestly. At noon I am either thinking about lunch, going to get lunch, or eating lunch and there is not a lot of time for HikaGo amongst all that lunchiness.

I think quite a lot of thought has gone into designing each character; they all have very clear acoutraments that even with the lack of colour in the manga you can tell them appart vet easily.
I strongly suspect that that is where Akira goet his hair cut from. The poor dear....

I agree that these characters are very distinctive in the manga. I got pretty lost in Ranma 1/2 because I muddled people up.

For the Hikago anime, I read that they'd chosen a color for each character and decided that the eyebrows would always be visible through the hair (unlike in the manga). It took me a while to get used to Akira having green hair - cracked me up the first time I saw episode 1. As for his haircut, it looks like one that a parent could do themselves, provided they could cut straight and the child held still...

Hum, I used to have that homemade haircut....

LOL! It works better on some than others. My mum tried it on me but my hair doesn't grow straight so it was rather a disaster.

I do actually think the style suits Akira and with it cut like that he can swish it around dramatically!
