It briefly became popular in the otaku culture from an anime called Hunter X Hunter.

  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.

      Shion no Ou is another good shogi anime. I haven't read the manga.
