After her parents' murder, Shion is later adopted by her next-door neighbor and family friend, Shinji Yasuoka, who is a ''kishi'', or professional shogi player. Shion continues to play shogi, learning from Yasuoka out of both her own love of the game and her desire to discover the identity of the murderer.
Line 11 ⟶ 9:
An anime adaptation, produced by Studio DEEN, was released in late 2007 and finished up in March of 2008, following the current storyline of the manga fairly faithfully. The manga ended a few months afterwards.
Compare with ''[[Hikaru no Go]]'', which has a similar premise, only with Go instead of shogi.
