Rei Kiriyama is a young prodigy. Rei, an orphan, resides alone in a sparsely furnished apartment. As a teenager navigating an adult world, life poses significant challenges for him. He's on the brink of becoming a professional shogi player, a traditional Japanese board game, but his life outside this pursuit is almost non-existent. Fortunately, with the support of some lifelong friends, Rei gets a chance to rebuild his life. His story has garnered recognition, being nominated for the 2nd Annual Manga Taishou in 2009 and winning the award in 2011. It also won the Kodansha Manga Award in the general category in 2011, which it shared with Space Brothers. Additionally, it received the Grand Prize at the 18th Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize in 2014 and the 24th Japan Media Arts Festival Awards Grand Prize in 2021.

    @bootydestroyer12 Just don't read it then. I'm tired of this pointless comment. You're basically saying the same copy/paste opinion as many. I do understand you don't like isekai but hey, they are there and you nor I could change it. The only thing that can do something is THE MONEY. And neither of us is paying them a cent for reading manga in this page so our opinion is basically bullsh*t for them.

    It's a cute manga about a bunch of cute kindergarteners, that's it. If you want to have a sugar overload, this book is for you.
