Rei (lit. zero) is a 17-year-old professional shōgi player. He has no real family and no real friends. His attitude towards life and shōgi changes when he meets the Kawamoto sisters: Akari, Hinata, and Momo. This is a kind story full of real struggles and real people who are trying to find their own path to happiness.
