Never thought I’d compare my life to a shogi piece, but here we are, thanks to March Comes in Like a Lion. The sheer depth the series dives into solitude, especially with Rei’s journey, echoes some of the most poignant moments in manga history, IMO. Its like we’re seeing a modern day take on classical literature themes but with shogi boards and teenage angst.
Then you’ve got Nikaido, who somehow turns his health struggles into a comedy routine without undermining the gravity of his situation. It’s this blend of light and shadow that truly sets the series apart, making you laugh in one scene and reflective in the next.
Thinking about the overarching narrative, this blend of solitude and emotional resilience seems to prepare the characters—and us, the readers—for a much larger conversation about mental health and the importance of community. Its intriguing to speculate how these themes will evolve, especially with Reis growth as both a person and a shogi player.
What if Rei’s journey is actually a metaphor for confronting life’s checkmates and finding your moves? It brings to the table a perspective on how every setback or challenge can lead to personal growth, a theme that’s nuanced and ripe for discussion.
Im personally stoked to see how the series continues to develop this interplay of light and dark moments. Like a shogi game that’s just heating up, the anticipation for the next move is killing me. Would love to hear your takes on where you think Rei’s path might lead and any favorite moments that hit close to home.
