Why we recommend it

A high school student and professional shogi player lives alone after losing his family, then slowly begins to heal through his friendship with three sisters nearby. The tension of competition alternates with the warmth of shared meals.

Low on gore

It may not be for you if

Matches and inner monologues can run long. If you want dramatic events in quick succession, it may feel slow.
