Rei Kiriyama is a shogi prodigy who has overcome incredible hardship to become a professional player. Despite having his own Tokyo apartment at 17, he's incredibly lonely. After a young hostess takes pity on him, Rei is invited more and more to spend time with the Kawamoto sisters, who are themselves dealing with grief... Can they help to heal each others wounds? Or will they sink under the weight of their collective grief?
This week, Mat is joined once again by Ramzee to discuss the excellent March Comes In Like A Lion by Chica Umino. Join us as we discuss the thawing of Rei's emotions, our hopes and fears about how this series balances tragedy on a knife's edge, and the excellent cat (and dog) energy that can be found within!
