A manga about a man who failed to become a professional shogi player who begins playing again in hopes of achieving his dreams.
I’m a fan of various shogi manga, such as 81 Diver and March Comes in like a Lion, and this new one is becoming a quick favorite. The setup is very much an comeback story with the protagonist remembering his love of the game and realizing his own lost potential. It’s an easily enjoyed tale because the main character is very positive and likable as well.
I look forward to reading more.
