The anime is an adaptation from the popular Japanese manga with the same name. The first season consists of a total of 22 episodes, and with a normal start like every other anime, no one knew that it is going to be one of the most popular anime out there(it’s one of my personal favorites).

As for the plot of the first season, It revolves around Rei Kiriyama, an elite in the world of Shogi. His life is filled with pressure from both the shogi community and his family. And he finally decides to live on his own. At first, Rei seemed to have a very hard time taking care of himself but not for so long.

As the plot continues, Rei, Akari, Hinata, and Momo develop a familiar bond regardless of being born from different families.
