Oh well... I don't know too much about Shogi, but I decided to give it a try and I liked it. I finally feel like watching anime with "Lion" in the name after this. Anyway, I can say with clear mind that you can watch it and you will probably end up liking it. There are some good games, well build pressure around them and a lot of cuteness. Healthy cuteness without any ecchi/fan service. Pure Master - Student relationship. The most specific thingie in this anime are eyes, which looks very deep and shows the highest concentration, when you see it, you know something serious is coming and the moment which you gonna enjoy. Personally, I didn't pay too much attention to lolis since that aspect is there only to show cuteness.

I got interested on shogi after watching 3-gatsu no Lion, and thought that this one looks like the female version of it. Well, not quite, the story is cute, and not so serious, so it is a pretty easy watch. There are some funny moments, but if you like 3-gatsu no Lion, this one is probably not for you.

If you want to watch this since you think it's a pure shogi-themed anime - don't do this since you will be mistaken.
Shogi is a big part of it - and the matches were fine with the passion shown through the multi-coloured eyes and rocking bodies. But other than that it's focused on the rather embarassing and sometimes funny semi-loli/ecchi situations throughout the series.
The design of the characters is very cute especially with the "strand of hair bobbing up and down" of some loli-girls. A nice touch of this anime was that it kinda ended the way it began - I like such endings.
All in all it was an entertaining series but will be easily forgotten soon again.
