i recommend u guys watch/read sangatsu no lion ! it’s got the same vibes as chihayafuru and it’s about the struggle of the 17 year old shogi prodigy rei kiriyama and his found family the kawamotos <3 another series i hold deeply in my heart & suetsugu is friends with the mangaka
here’s a drawing of the trio i drew a few months back ! thank you so much suestsugu sensei for the 15 wonderful years of chihayafuru i will forever and always cherish this series 💞
