Synopsis: Rei Kiriyama is a 17-year-old boy who recently started living alone, financed by his salary as a professional Shogi player. Despite his independence, however, he's yet to mature emotionally, and his problems continue to haunt him in his daily life. His relationship with his adoptive family is strained, and he has difficulties interacting with his fellow high school students. Meanwhile, his professional career has entered a slump. Burdened with the heavy expectations placed on him as the fifth to become pro in middle school, his wins and losses are fluctuating as his record and progression into the ranks begin to stagnate. Acquainted with Rei are the three Kawamoto sisters: Akari, Hinata, and Momo. Unlike Rei, they live happily in their modest home, which they warmly welcome Rei into as if he were one of their own. Despite his reservations about becoming too close to the family, he frequently visits, interacting with them and receiving the kind of care and affection he never quite had while under his foster home. This is the story of Rei's triumphs and failures, relationships new and old, and his growth as a person.

Sangatsu no Lion sounds family friendly fare again, but of course, our MC is living alone.... only in Japan, right? :d Well to be fair... at 17, there have been a few models and actors that have lived that way with their parents approval...
 
I remember reading this ages ago.

They really took the main character's sense of being lost and captured it. I'm pretty impressed with how this one's coming along.

me too :0 is studio Shaft after all but this sense felt similar with Yuji in ep.6, i'm looking forward their match (2017?)... yet a fun #7 like how Akari's sisters learn easier to play from 'Bodoro', the only shogi stuff he can beat Rei at (new ED):lol:

did you read Honey & clover too? from the same author, but 3'gatsu got darker after a week break with Kyouko's arrival... making Rei think in ep.9 if his life will be like Matsunaga, is it just me or was Darth Vader there? just saw Rogue 0ne :)
 
March Comes in like a Lion 2nd Series and L-A films, from traumas to bullying
