Why this must be read:

It's not completely rare to find fiction from the point of view of an 'outsider' as regards to go. It probably stands to reason, as the players' obsession is often something to wonder at. There are some very well done pieces along these lines, often from the point of view of family, which makes sense as they would usually be expected to have other forms of connection, though given the circumstances go often enough ends up being the means of insight in some form or another. That's not completely applicable in this case; The Stars All Seem to Weep centers around a family member, Hikaru's grandfather, but instead makes the connection from within the game and presents an interesting example of the past connecting to the future, a key note of the series.
