Burdened by a strained relationship with his adoptive family and a stagnating career, Rei struggles to connect with others. He finds an unexpected sanctuary in the home of the Kawamoto sisters: Akari, Hinata, and Momo. They offer him the warmth and affection he lacks, providing a stark contrast to his isolated existence. The series explores Rei's triumphs and failures both on and off the Shogi board, highlighting his personal growth as he navigates the challenges of adulthood, builds new relationships, and confronts his past. The anime emphasizes themes of loneliness, family, and the search for belonging within a beautifully rendered setting.

View all 131 takesThis episode was a breath of fresh air for Shimada. All of his worries were gone after seeing the old people, and he's also bringing a new lesson for the new season. I hope he won't suffer any stomach issues anymore on the next season though haha
Rei being the only person left who believes in Shimada's potential to win and also, being the person who knows how to counterattack Souya even when people thought it was already a lost case is a good sign!
