Just recently, someone has finally English subbed one of the most anticipating Go manga at
http://mangafox.me/manga/hoshizora_no_karasu/v01/c001/1.html
 and it is a shoujou manga! you know what to expect!

I (Xinwen) had personally read through the first chapter, and it is better than i expected! It is not like Hikaru no Go with those unrealistic spirit, instead, the protagonist whose name is Waka-chan got her passion in the game from her grandfather long time ago…. anyway you should read about it!
