March Comes in like a Lion





March Comes in like a Lion is a manga series by Chica Umino, she is also the author of Honey and Clover which was also very popular. It has been serialized since 2007 in the seinen magazine Young Animal (the magazine has pictures of gravure idols on the cover a lot of the time :mrgw:). In 2009 it was nominated for a Manga Taishō, but did not win. It was nominated again in 2011 and this year it won. In 2014 it also won the annual Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize. There are 11 volumes. Now it is being made into an anime.

March Comes in like a Lion is about a 17 year old professional shogi player named Rei Kiriyama. Rei lives by himself, has no family, and has no friends. He became a pro shogi player while in middle school, and is basically the golden child of the shogi world because of this. This story is basically about Rei's journey to adulthood.

March Comes in like a Lion anime premieres on October 8, 2016 and it is being made by Studio Shaft. It is airing on a non-typical channel and timeslot for anime in Japan so they are really trying to promote it to a wider audience.

March Comes in like a Lion will also be on Crunchyroll. The first episode will air on Saturday, October 8th, at 13:00 EDT.

I am extremely hyped for the anime not just becuase this is one of my all time favorite manga stories, but also because Shaft is one of my favorite anime studios.

March Comes in like a Lion is a story about sadness. March Comes in like a Lion is a story about happiness. March Comes in like a Lion is a story about love.

hell yeah, i thought it was one cour only. i hope it gets through the bullying arc although that might be too far in

that is probably way too far in but would be really cool to see them get that far

Yes it is. I have no idea how far the show will get into the source material, but I'm excited to see it.


Nice! I don't know anything about Rei and Momo's VAs, but Ai Kayano also voiced Teko in Amanchu, Kana-chan in Chihayafuru, Mayaka in Hyouka, and Goth-loli-sama in Shirobako. Pretty drat good range considering how different they all sound.

Kana Hanazawa is also the voice of Nadeko from the -gataris, Sonohara in Durarara, Onodera in Nisekoi, Naho in Orange, and the blue-haired girl in Teekyuu!

looking at what the guy who is voicing rei has done in the past i think this might be his first time voicing the main character of a show
