Synopsis
Rei Kiriyama is a 17-year-old prodigy in the world of shōgi (Japanese chess), his young age marking him out as an exciting talent in a hierarchy mostly dominated by much older men. While those around him are impressed by his relative success at such a tender age, for Rei the expectations placed upon him feel like a millstone around his neck as he struggles to make sense of his place in the world and the person he wants to be, while simultaneously battling with the pressures of the world of professional shōgi.
Rei’s journey of friendship, rivalry and self-discovery brings with it a gamut of emotions, and a poignant look at life that will resonate with viewers from every walk of life.
Contains episodes 1-11 in English and original Japanese with English subtitles.
Comes packaged in a rigid case, with a digipack to house the three Blu-ray discs. Also included is a 40-page booklet that includes character profiles, end card collection and more.
