I Am Here / Teach Me How to Hate You2016-10-08

The premiere establishes Rei Kiriyama as a solitary professional shogi player whose inner world Shaft renders in striking visual metaphors - flooded rooms, drifting darkness. The episode resists easy sympathy, presenting Rei's isolation as self-imposed before introducing the Kawamoto sisters as a tentative counterweight. The dual register of technical shogi detail and psychological expressionism is in place from the opening minutes.

Chapter 22: Beginning of Winter / Chapter 23: December2016-12-17

The mid-season pivot deepens the shogi tournament stakes while Rei's backstory with his foster family comes into sharper relief. This is the episode where the series locks in its emotional ambition - not a sports drama with feelings, but the reverse.
