I'm curious to see if "San Gatsu no Lion" (the Lion of March) will spark interest. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in more slice-of-life/drama kinds of things. It's quite a beautiful anime/manga, even if the shogi isn't quite centre stage.
Recommendation seconded, Sangatsu no Lion is a lovely work. On the other hand, it has been running for 10 years (!), if it could spark interest like Hikaru no Go, it would have happened already.
