So where would I start with what led me to see this piece. I have encountered the Shogi theme in many works, but I have never seen anything whose center would actually be Shogi. The main character finds refuge from the outside world in this strategy game. In the beginning, Rei is a closed boy who lost his parents at a young age and was adopted after their death by a friend of his father, who raised him and led him on the path of a professional shogi player. After a while, Rei moves to his own apartment where he lives alone. One day, three ... sisters come into his black and white life and turn his life 180 degrees. This anime exceeded my expectations.

On the surface, it seems that it is purely about shogi, but on the other hand, we dive deep into the lives of our main characters and deal with topics such as bullying, finding oneself, losing a loved one, failure or competition.
As for the music, I don't think there's anything to add, it fits very nicely and in some scenes it even brings tears to my eyes.
The animation is beautiful, a nice combination with the gloomy colors of Rei's life, which slowly change to colorful, lively and full of joy. I fell in love with the characters at the moment, especially the initial diversity between the Rei and the girls.
A very solid 9.3/10 in my opinion
