manga and anime - japanese cartoons - Hikaru No Shindo

Tweet

I will make a confession first off - my first introduction to this was quite explicit, but that is as far as I will say about that particular branch. Here I would like to address the mainstream, shown in movies and comic books accessible to everyone. My main complaint is that so many of them deal with fighting, including especially particular card games, where their cards turn into monsters and battle each other. Title after title, they are about battling other entities in one form or another, and for the most part, I am quite bored with most of them. One stands apart from all the rest though, (no, not Naruko ...) Hikaru No Shindo is about a Go player, introduced to the game when he was 12 through a possessed Go board. A ghost (and many others) teach him to play, and by the time he is 14 he is a professional Go player. It is the only manga I like since it is not about fighting monsters or cards or such. I am very interested if there are any fans out there who know of any other Japanese works that do not have the violence like Dragon Ball or One Piece or Shamon King or any other violent plot story ... Just a simple adolescent coming of age, or another story that doesn't involve fighting anything. Thank you Thank you.
