Depending on how far into the story it goes, March Comes in Like a Lion might be the last anime to save anime this year. If they get really far into the story, it might save anime twice. Just a ridiculously beautiful story with about a million high points.

e: Possibly it will save anime 3 times.
On the last page but they'd have to cut a hell of a lot of stuff or rush it to get to what I think you're alluding to, and I think it's pretty clear they're not going to do that.

That being said, I'm not entirely sure where it'll end in relation to the manga, 22 episodes right?

There is a shitload of shogi, just fair warning, as it's his profession. In the manga I just skip past it, and it's perfectly serviceable without the shogi stuff, though if you enjoy that stuff I hear it's great.

The stuff the manga goes into blows what's been covered in the anime away, really. It's amazing the directions the series has gone, when a lot of other series would have resolved a given plot and then ended the series outright.

The hina arc is probably one of the most affectingly real arcs in a manga I've read, and man, I've read a lot of fuckin' manga.

I know folks are sick of me mentioning it but I literally skip the shogi parts of the manga entirely, or skim them for non-match stuff. I still love this series a hell of a lot but I just can't stand sports stuff in most manga, especially things like shogi or that thing in chihayafuru, which I bounced off of completely.

You don't have to read/watch to the shogi parts to enjoy the series, though they do help with aspects of certain characters and define a few others.

I'm a probably a horrible human being but am I the only one that wants Hina and Rei to end up together?
why would that make you a horrible human being, they're almost the same age

hina just gets drawn in a cutesy style most of the time so it's easy to forget that she's...I think a year younger than rei.
