There's a bit of a subplot going on about the young players studying shogi using computers, including Yaichi, and leaving behind older players that starts in Volume 6 and increases through volume 11. Oh no. Light brights more in the darkest places, I suppose.

Shogi sounds interesting. An anime television series adaptation by Project No.9 premiered on … If they resemble Chihayafuru in the slightest, I´m sure I´ll love them. I haven’t read it, but 11 volumes are available worldwide on Bookwalker (there are no region restrictions and they do accept PayPal).

If she isn't consuming, writing, editing, or thinking about some form of story... she's probably distracted. Yaichi feels unworthy and consults with Machi about what happened with Ginko and the reporter, and Machi decides to pull a mean prank on Yaichi and Ginko and tells Yaichi he should call Ginko ane-deshi (or senior sister apprentice) instead of the familiar way he used to address her. Close. We have a special section for characters and a dedicated team for it, which will help you if the need arises. You can support aniSearch by completing the cast or enhancing existing entries with further details. (aka Ryuuou no Oshigoto!)

Her doctor introduced her to shogi as a way to treat her condition (i forget the theory on this). She always thought of Yaichi as a little brother and worse than her at shogi, but when he won the elementary school Meijin title in third grade and became friends with Machi, Ryou, and Ayumu at the tournament, she took notice of him. As for Ginko, when she finally decided to confess to Yaichi, he won the Ryuo title.

It is a guy and his Lolis, plus an adult or two tossed in. And it really puts us in a tough position as we have to decide whether or not it’s good for us to continue watching. I want more anime with these topics. Finished the anime and I’ve heard there’s 12 volumes in the light novels. Lots of heartwarming moments, hotbloodedness, and ship teasing. I'm currently watching the anime and I feel very invested in her. Huh, I heard that March Comes in Like a Lion includes shogi… but I heard a lot more about it making people cry, which is why I didn’t give it a shot. The Ryuo’s Work Is Never Done! During adventure parts, players will be able to enjoy the story of the anime in addition to original scenarios. But Ginko is also a good choice. The best thing about The Ryuo’s Work is Never Done!is the afterword, where the author reveals just how much research he did to write a shogi-themed light novel. Notably, his opponent will be a computer shogi specialist who was the first pro to lose against computer shogi, had a slump, then came back with his new computer style.

The Ranging Rook guy who had the King title was crushed by this guy and is in a slump. If you have CSS enabled on the subreddit, the spoilers button is colored red. I also think the TL is pretty bad, but I rarely hear about translation quality as a reason for people dropping a series, and there are plenty of way more popular series with worse TLs. Ginko felt that once again there was a huge distance between them so she decided that she wouldn't confess until she reached 4-dan and became a pro so that she could stand on the same stage as Yaichi as an equal.

Her over-the-top cuteness made me suspicious. I really want to keep watching, so hopefully the shogi story indeed proves stronger than the inappropriate stuff. On a side note, this light novel was apparently voted to be the best light novel series of 2017 by both fans and critics in Japan, which I’d like to believe reflects just how strong the shogi story aspect is. Please don’t fetishize her. Yaichi is on a huge winstreak after defending his Ryuo title, and has been absolutely demolishing people with crazy skills regardless of style he or his opponents uses, but his master Kiyotaki is a huge losing streak and snaps at Yaichi, feeling old and falling behind the latest trends in shogi, as well as losing his passion.
