My expectation was leaning towards competitive side of shogi. But what’s this?! It’s more healing story + a bit slice of life with shogi as an accessory or setting. So disappointing and the main character is so frustrating, unlike the usual sports theme’s main character. As a depressed person I read sport mangas to be motivated, so when I read this, it just made me have negative thoughts. I know MC was depressed but rather than empathize with him and want him to overcome it, I just want him just to give up and kill himself.
