Gunbu no Pair Go (群舞のペア碁）
Volume One of a Pair Go comic strip, “Gunbu no Pair Go,” which has been serialized in the monthly magazine “Action”, has been published.
The Japan Pair Go Association has extended cooperation and professional player Fujisawa Rina has acted as editorial supervisor.
There are plans to translate and publish the comic book in English (and other languages).
