content: This manga has an anime adaptation. If you read this there is a good chance that you are farmiliar with the anime. If not, its easy to find a information about the series in english. So I won't say much about the content.
This is not a shogi sports manga, though I imagine if you know or like shogi, that's a plus and there is a lot of talk about shogi and lots of actual moves. I have no idea how much of that is just for flavor or if someone who knows the game would actually be able to follow along.
The manga is very much about people. Mostly about the protagonist Rei, who is an orphan and young shogi professional, as well as three sisters he befriends. But there are also many arcs that focus on other shogi players, mostly Rei's opponents, giving us a window into their lives and thoughts.
anime: The anime adaptation is very much 1:1. Almost every episode corresponds to two chapters in the manga. So if you want to watch the anime and read the manga in parallel, that's very much possible
language: You have the following type of content:
opinion: I think I'm pretty terrible with words, so I don't want to write much about how much and why I like this series. But it feels wrong to write a review witout mentioning my own opinion on wheter its any good or not. It is good. I like it quite a bit. The characters are very likeable and interesting.
