March Comes in Like a Lion (Manga)	comment	March Comes in Like a Lion, also known in Japanese as 3-gatsu no Lion (Sangatsu no Lion, lit. The Lion of March), is a seinen Slice of Life/Drama manga series written and illustrated by Honey and Clover's Chica Umino. It has been serialized in Young Animal since 2007.Rei Kiriyama is an adopted adolescent who recently started living alone, financed by his salary as a professional Shōgi 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. While he's able to manage a few cordial relationships with his peers in professional shogi, as well as his homeroom teacher, Rei has a relatively isolated lifestyle in a place that's almost unfamiliar to him.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. While he's yet to receive any significant negative attention, those that know of him in the shogi community wonder what is happening with him as he continues to struggle in a game where he initially showed tremendous promise.Acquainted with Rei are the three Kawamoto sisters: Akari, Hinata, and Momo. Unlike the sullen 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.An ongoing Spin-Off, 3-gatsu no Lion Showa Ibun: Shakunetsu no Toki, is currently being penned by Hideaki Nishikawa.The series has two different adaptations—a TV Anime series produced by Studio Shaft, and a live action film. The anime first aired as part of the Fall 2016 season, with a second season following in 2017. It is available for simulcast and streaming on Crunchyroll herenote Only in North America, Central America, South America, Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom and Ireland. and on Daisuki. The anime is licensed in America by Aniplex USA, who produced a dub for it with Bang Zoom! Entertainment. The live action film was released in 2017.A character sheet is under construction.

After recalling the sight of his sister's corpse from Momo's injuries, Rei enters a state of depression for a couple of days and regresses back into keeping his distance from people, even from the Kawamoto family. And the played for humor much later. After the founding of Rei's high school shogi club, Hayashida asks Rei whether or not he actually likes playing shogi. Twenty seconds pass and Rei's unable to move or vocalize a response, and as a visual gag, he's shown having Mac's SBBOD.

Specifically, it's Rei, who wrote Shimada off as just another opponent in his fervor to go up against Gotou. He realizes his faux pas mid-game when he's been backed into a disadvantage and becomes embarrassed over it. Soon after Rei's loss, it is revealed to the readers he's frequently been the contender in title matches.

March Comes in Like a Lion (Manga) / int_2ffa1e59	type	Goal in Life
March Comes in Like a Lion (Manga) / int_2ffa1e59	comment	Goal in Life: The series plays with this concept. In his back-story, Rei pushed himself hard in order to become a professional shogi player as early as possible. He succeeded by the time of the actual start of the story, and because of this, most believe he's already had his goal in life set and achieved since he was young. However, flashback chapters reveal ulterior motives in forcing himself to make such a significant lifestyle decision, and there are a few claims in both the narrative and dialogue that he does not even like the game itself as much as he probably should, despite his skills and scenes suggesting otherwise. His ambiguous feelings for the very game he's trying to build a livelihood on is one of the main focuses, leaving to question whether or not Rei has unconsciously developed, or will develop, a liking and sincere life goal in the game on his own terms despite his rather dubious initial intentions.

March Comes in Like a Lion (Manga) / int_3866ab91	comment	Deceased Parents Are the Best: Many of Rei's happiest memories come from his biological parents during his early childhood. While Kouda himself is not bad, he's guilty of a bad case of Parental Obliviousness. The Kawamoto sisters speak very fondly of their mother; Akari and Hina have strong memories of how well of a caretaker she was. Their father, on the other hand, is a mystery. Rei notices that they always speak of their mother and never of their father, leading Rei to theorize that something happened between the sisters and their father that doesn't exactly place him in a positive light. It's later revealed that their father is not only still alive, but he's not a nice person.

The look of the smile by itself isn't all that strange, but given what information the story has told of him beforehand, the way the panels present him, and how certain characters react to his presence, the overly friendly-vibe he gives off with said smile - especially during the two times he tries to hold Momo - comes off as incredibly suspicious and unnerving.

By the time Hina is enrolled in Rei's high school as a first-year, she starts getting a little attention from guys because of how cute she is. When one of them tries to get closer to Hina by offering to join the shogi club along with her and teach her, Rei basically steps in-between them like roadblock and drives the first-year boy away by beating him in a quick match, justifying it by claiming to be measuring his skill level for entry into the club. Later in the same chapter, he sees the same guy trying to have lunch with her and her new friend at the courtyard all the way from the school roof, prompting him to make a mad dash to where they are.

March Comes in Like a Lion (Manga) / int_58970413	comment	Coincidental Broadcast: In the wake of his 3rd-dan promotion, Rei sees a documentary that he parallels with his own life. Seeing that broadcast convinces him to quickly get his own place the moment he becomes a professional, leading to his current living situation in the present. The broadcast in question was about cuckoos and brood parasitism. Rei sees himself as the cuckoo hatchling that pushed the other eggs, Kouda's real children, out of the "nest" to receive the full attention and care of the parent that's not truly his.

At their funeral, most of his remaining blood relatives were none too concerned about him, with one even promising to send him to a "nice" orphanage. His foster care was built upon a lie on how much he liked shogi, and even when he was taken in, there was friction between him and the real children in the family as he surpassed them in shogi and fell into the most favor with their father. These problems never really went away until he pushed himself forward into the professional shogi circuit and left home early to live on his own.

Meanwhile, the rest of the family is gossiping about them. All this is punctuated when Kouda, a friend of his father's, glances toward his family and implicitly notes how none of them are paying attention and giving real comfort to Rei, before taking the initiative to take Rei in as his ward and student.

It isn't very effective and doesn't last long, however, mostly because of the stark difference between the two. Kyoko has at least a foot over Hina and is more physically mature, while Hina is a mere middle schooler in comparison. Hina's painfully aware of this and falters in her attempted intimidation out of nervousness.
