March Comes in Like a Lion
March Comes in Like a Lion streams on Crunchyroll and Netflix — a quietly devastating drama about a teenage shogi prodigy learning to live with loneliness. It's one of the most emotionally intelligent anime ever made.
About
Rei Kiriyama is a professional shogi player still in high school, carrying the weight of grief, isolation, and a talent that has cost him as much as it's given. Adrift in a life he never really chose, he's slowly pulled into the warmth of the Kawamoto sisters — three siblings whose cluttered, loving home becomes an anchor he didn't know he needed. As Rei navigates fierce matches, school, depression, and the halting work of connecting with other people, the series treats every small step forward with enormous tenderness. It's a story about being stuck in the dark and inching, painfully, toward the light.
