hikarunogoThe Hikaru no Go kanzenban, published from 2009 February 9 through 2010 April 30, feature striking wrap-around cover artwork by Takeshi Obata produced specially for this version. The art is lushly coloured and abundantly detailed, and Shuueisha was kind enough to put its publication information (price, barcode, ISBN etc) on a removable sticker that you can peel off so the covers are as clean and free from extraneous mundanities as possible.
When Obata-sensei drew these works he had finished Death Note and had started Bakuman.. Obata-sensei's art style in Bakuman. is a lot more flowing and exaggerated than the style he had when he finished Hikaru no Go, so to me there's a kind of dreamy, stylised deliberateness to this art that I find really appealing.
Sorry, the creases are still visible, but hopefully you can enjoy these scans anyway :)
Below please find thumbnails of the covers; you can click the image to see a larger version, or if you'd like to download the whole shebang, you can find it here (54 MB).
