Similar about shogi player story but in Chihayafuru have a high romance love story & about achieving her dreams as a top shogi player. She want to be the best shogi player so she can meet her long lost time best frie d again because they made a promise when they were kids. I like Chihayafuru cast especially Mackenyu too adorable. He fit his role as high school student.
