Anticipated New Anime Corner! "March Comes In Like a Lion"!

What are your top 20 favorite anime?! Would Eden of the East (Higashi no Eden) or Honey and Clover (Hachimitsu to Clover) be in that list? If so, you will be excited to her about this anticipated new anime by the mangaka of the above shows - March Comes in Like a Lion (Sangatsu no Lion)!

Synopsis from TV Tropes :

Rei Kiriyama is a 17-year-old boy who recently started living alone, financed by his salary as a professional Shogi player. Despite his independence, however, he's yet to mature emotionally, and his problems continue to haunt him in his daily life. His relationship with his adoptive family is strained, and he has difficulties interacting with his fellow high school students. Meanwhile, his professional career has entered a slump. Burdened with the heavy expectations placed on him as the fifth to become pro in middle school, his wins and losses are fluctuating as his record and progression into the ranks begin to stagnate.

Acquainted with Rei are the three Kawamoto sisters: Akari, Hinata, and Momo. Unlike Rei, they live happily in their modest home, which they warmly welcome Rei into as if he were one of their own. Despite his reservations about becoming too close to the family, he frequently visits, interacting with them and receiving the kind of care and affection he never quite had while under his foster home.

This is the story of Rei's triumphs and failures, relationships new and old, and his growth as a person.

I don't know about you but I am very excited for this opportunity to see another Umino Chika masterpiece to be animated! The characters seem as charming and relateable as the ones in Honey and Clover. It may not be action-oriented like Eden of the East, but you are sure to have major feels while relating to Rei and his coming-of-age story!

Look forward to this gem coming Fall 2016 season! WKTK!
