Synopsis

Yasuoka Shion lost her parents, and her voice, when she was young...in a murder.

She was found amidst a blood-soaked room, and the only hint for the suspect was a Shougi board and one piece: the King. Now, Shion steps into the world of female professional Shougi players. As her popularity and fame slowly rises, so do the questions about her past, particularly the murder case that was never solved.

User Recommendations

The main characters are both girls who are some sort of genuises in the sport they play. The stories are similar in that they recount the trials the girls go through getting to the top. In Shion no Ou it's the boardgame called shogi. In Saki it's mahjong. In both manga, the protagonists are playing the game to get to someone from their past.
Both are about japanese boardgames. Shion no Ou is a much more serious series though.
