Both manga are coming-of-age stories of characters burdened by their pasts in a "fish out of water" scenario. The two also showcase a subsect of Japanese culture, albeit of a different grapevine (Shogi vs Calligraphy). March Comes in Like a Lion is also profoundly serious, while Barakamon is light and comedic. While different in execution, both deal with how one's work is very intimately intertwined one's life, and the growth of one entails the growth of the other.
