March Comes In Like a Lion 2nd Season

In his second year of high school, Rei Kiriyama keeps moving forward in the demanding world of professional shogi while trying to steady his private life. The people around him—at the shogi hall, the school club, and throughout the neighborhood—gradually draw him out of isolation, little by little. At the heart of that warmth are the Kawamoto sisters, Akari, Hinata, and Momo, whose gentle, family-like closeness gives Rei a place to belong.

As those connections deepen, Rei comes to see that everyone carries their own quiet pain, and he begins learning how to lean on others and offer support in return. But the path of a pro leaves little room to breathe: tournaments, championships, and title matches pile on pressure as he climbs the ranks and faces formidable opponents, all while searching for what the game truly means to him.
