March Comes In Like a Lion Episode 8: Chapter 15 Teach Me How to Play Shogi / Chapter 16 Image / Chapter 17 Distant Thunder

nikaidou is such an amazing character. the fact that he actually wrote and drew that entire book himself shows how much he cares about shogi. the internal monologues continue to be incredibly strong and emotional.

the dedication exhibited by the rival character provides a necessary foil to the protagonist's depressive inertia. furthermore, the show's ability to maintain the structural integrity of its internal monologues is commendable.

that shogi song is gon be stuck in my head for the rest of my life now, and nikaidou is the absolute goat for making that book. also rei's dad was actually kinda fine tho... gone way too soon...
