For those of you familiar with Hikaru no Go, Shion no Ou has some similar qualities, except with the game of shougi instead of go. However, there’s also a deep sense of mystery because the lead girl’s parents are murdered when she’s young. She gets adopted by the professional shougi player next door, and although she turns mute after the incident, she herself is becoming a pro at the beginning of the manga with part of her motivation coming from the fact that she thinks a shougi player killed her parents. The anime adaptation is set to be 12 episodes long, and while the character designs look a bit off to me, I look forward to hearing Kawasumi Ayako as Shion (despite being mute, she does have a few lines here and there).Note: As of this writing, Shion no Ou still doesn’t have an airtime to go with its premiere date.
