Shion's King: The Flowers of Hard Blood is a seinen manga (with an anime adaptation) by Katori Masaru, which ran in Monthly Afternoon from 2004 to 2008. It blends the game of shogi with a murder mystery.Shion no Ou is the story of a young girl named Shion Yasuoka. When she was a very young child, she witnessed the brutal murder of her parents. Oddly, the murderer leaves her alive but takes the "king" piece from the shogi board (the Japanese rendition of chess). The resulting trauma leaves her unable to speak, forcing her to communicate with people by writing her thoughts out on a notebook (... no, not THAT notebook).After her parents' murder, Shion is later adopted by her next-door neighbor and family friend, Shinji Yasuoka, who is a kishi, or professional shogi player. Shion continues to play shogi, learning from Yasuoka out of both her own love of the game and her desire to discover the identity of the murderer.An anime adaptation, produced by Studio DEEN, was released in late 2007 and finished up in March of 2008, following the current storyline of the manga fairly faithfully. The manga ended a few months afterwards.Compare with Hikaru no Go, which has a similar premise, only with Go instead of shogi.

The Main Characters Do Everything: Aside from Shion's searching through her memories, much of the key evidence was found and gathered by Satoru, problem being, in part, that no one believed him for years.

Unsettling Gender-Reveal: Saito Ayumi, though the story doesn't hide it from the viewers for long (it is especially unsettling to Tachikawa). Satoru intentionally drops this particular Bridget on Nikaido Saori for what seemed like no reason at all, though it may just be part of his Batman Gambit to find out who killed the Ishiwataris.

Batman Gambit: Hani Satoru set up the Pro-Amature Tournament in order to have a match against his brother, the Meijin, so he could figure out Makoto's involvement in his financée's death. What's more, to despite being unable to play against Makoto, Satoru still manages to pull off the goal of this gambit with the assistance of Shion.

 Shion no Ou (Manga) / int_3cb1d38d
comment
Bad Boss: As Ayumi's master, Hani Makoto shows this, largely by being a Jerkass and frequently maltreating his apprentice (even framing him). Later, this turns out to be partially a case of being a convoluted Manipulative Bastard, but it could easily be both since he deliberately choses methods involving kicking the dog... a lot.

 Shion no Ou (Manga) / int_40c57041
comment
Manipulative Bastard: The motive and modus operandi of the killer, Hani Makoto, really nails this one: he murdered Shion's parents, played a game with her then and there, threatened her into silence, and later continually separated her from Ayumi (thus isolating her) to develop Shion into a better shogi player (according to his philosophy). Considering how he ensured there would be no evidence against him and a fair few of his subsequent actions, he definitely qualifies as the series' chess master (no pun intended).

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Kamizono 9-dan shouts a lot, speaks very bluntly, looks very intimidating and has a reputation as a merciless kishi... but (almost) any of the scenes between him and Ayumi show that he's far from a bad guy. As well as a particular Flashback of Yasuoka 8-Dan's.

Break the Cutie
 Shion no Ou (Manga) / int_4b316d47
comment
Break the Cutie: All three main characters had this happen to them at least once, usually taking it up to eleven. Shion especially, since the murderer intentionally murdered her parents in front of her and "sealed off" her voice when she was four. Ayumi's father is emotionally abusive (he seems to have had a rough childhood in general), has to pay for his terminally ill mother's medical bills alone, and, after his mother's death and losing in the tournament, is then used by the Big Bad to harm his good friend and love interest. Finally, there's Hani Satoru, whose past is something of a Trauma Conga Line: he saw his father die saving him from car accident, was abandoned by his elder brother in an orphanage, and lost his fiancée due to his elder brother's actions.

Tragic Keepsake: Shion's pendant, which is early on stated to be a memento of her mother. The same later turns out to be a Memento MacGuffin: it actually was what Satoru gave to Kazumi in lieu of an engagement ring, and thus proves the connections between several individuals. Moreover, for Satoru, it is both a memento of his mother and his lover.

Teen Genius: Played straight and subverted; in the free-for-all shogi tournament, fifth-grader Suo Honma beats a 9-dan professional kishi. It's a subversion because he used a strategy common among Internet shogi players that his opponent had no knowledge of. If the 9-dan had known about the strategy, he would not have lost. Honma later loses to Shion because of this lack of experience.

Red Herring: Hani Makoto leaves these intentionally; additionally, this is what makes him so difficult to pinpoint as the Big Bad.

Laser-Guided Amnesia: While Shion has some trauma-induced amnesia and can only remember bits and pieces about the murder of her parents that she witnessed, she appears to have forgotten nothing else; remember, she was four at the time.

Friendly Rivalry: While Ayumi and Shion consider each other worthy rivals, they are also very close to each other and pretty much best friends.

Blood-Splattered Innocents: Although this wasn't true of the actual event (to despite the state of the apartment), all of Shion's dreams about her parents' murder have this to some degree. Also, the Flashback Cut of Satoru's father's death.
