Now in his second year of high school, Rei Kiriyama continues pushing through his struggles in the professional shogi world as well as his personal life. Surrounded by vibrant personalities at the shogi hall, the school club, and in the local community, his solitary shell slowly begins to crack. Among them are the three Kawamoto sisters—Akari, Hinata, and Momo—who forge an affectionate and familial bond with Rei. Through these ties, he realizes that everyone is burdened by their own emotional hardships and begins learning how to rely on others while supporting them in return. Nonetheless, the life of a professional is not easy. Between tournaments, championships, and title matches, the pressure mounts as Rei advances through the ranks and encounters incredibly skilled opponents. As he manages his relationships with those who have grown close to him, the shogi player continues to search for the reason he plays the game that defines his career.

3-Gatsu reminds us what it’s like to feel; to feel for 2D characters so genuinely human and real that so often we forget, are only fiction.

Continues the beauty that was the first season without being pretentious or overdramatic. Subtle is a virtue and Sangatsu exemplifies this.

Something about this series really gets to me, in a good way. I want to be a better person like Rei and Hina after watching it. Weird, huh?

Go_Bananas

Thinking you can describe the beautiful uniqueness of the masterpiece that 3-gatsu is in 140 characters is an insult.

Less Shogi-ing. More bullying. Pretty bold, pretty touching and still pretty pretty.
