hikarunogo | a special guest at the US Go Congress!

Thought some of you might find it interesting to know that Hotta Yumi has been confirmed as a guest at the US Go Congress this year. I had been wishing I could go to the Congress this year before hearing this news; now I really wish I could manage it! Because how much fun would that be?! And I'd love to be able to tell her how her manga got me involved in playing Go- a story I'm certain she's heard many times over, but I'll bet it continues to make her happy to know that Hikaru no Go is still spreading the love for that game. :)

The article from the US Go Journal is here, if you'd like to read it.
