Interest in Go and Connections to CJK Cultures

I was looking into the first modern Chinese translation of the Japanese version of XuanXuan Qijing, and when I tried to find more information about the translator Chen Xianhui (陳憲輝), it triggered one of my old childhood memory that he also translated some manga about Go games that I read.

And I finally found the original Japanese version by Fujio Akatsuka in association with the Nihon kiin - “ニャロメのたのしい囲碁入門”

But I remember the version I saw as a kid was a Chinese translation version - “看漫畫學圍棋” published much later, but already looked a bit old when I read it.

It was so long ago, I think I was still a toddler when I saw it. And I can only vaguely remember the anime cat ニャロメ, a bold old man and a thief as characters, with a very weird story arc (if it can be called a story at all)
