Story:
It is a modern take on the age-old novel Genji Monogatari. For the most part, it is very realistic be it the characters or the relationship between them. One of the most realistic manga is when the protagonist actually gets to have sex with the female characters and that too multiple times. Even though this manga has only 9-10 pages each chapter, it has enough detail that it will feel like you are reading a normal 20-page manga.
The only thing that I had a problem with is that the ending is a bit unsatisfying for me.

Art:
The art is simply outstanding. I don't know what others ... will say but I find it pretty close to the art used in Clannad and other early 2000s manga and anime. Especially the women they are drawn with great details each quite a bit different from one another.

Character:
From character design to their backstory to their problems everything is very realistic. Every woman resembles something and makes the protagonist grow in some way. The range of characters is also pretty wide and they are not two-dimensional like the normal ecchi mangas. Each and every character have a certain amount of depth in mind.

Overall:
I would say this manga is a great read. Unlike other ecchi manga, it has a rich story, good character design, and the one thing we all love most and that is sex. Among hundreds of ecchi manga out there this one is definitely one of its kind. Best of all, it is complete so you won't be hanging your head around waiting for the next chapter.

Story:
This is a classic zero to hero story that revolves mostly around shogi. It has comedy, romance, and drama and pretty much uses the whole premise of shogi as Beyblade or Pokemon card game. Even those who don't know shogi can read the manga and understand 90 percent of what is happening

Art:
People at first will not find the art that appealing as it is much different from the fan service art that we are used to. But if you give it some time the art will grow on you. Female characters in this manga are drawn with a better sense of realism that gives them ... a different allure altogether.

Character:
The characters are quite interesting. Apart from the main protagonist, everyone has a deep flashback-style origin story. I especially love the origin story of the Meijin and the main villain. The protagonist is kind of a pushover around 60 percent of the time but it is funny to read nonetheless. Even the interaction between multiple side characters is interesting.

Enjoyment:
I completely enjoyed the ride. The multiple situations that the protagonist finds himself in even though he didn't ask for it. This manga is really and truly a mixture of multiple emotions. Also, it is one of the few mangas in which the female lead is stronger than the male lead and remains that way till the end.

Overall:
This manga is definitely worth a read. Those who are fed up with reading low-quality incomplete mangas and then just wait for new chapters for months. Should pick up this manga as it is complete and really not a waste of time. It has 375 chapters and ran for 8 years which should tell you a lot about its credibility. You can feel the love for shogi in every arc the author writes.
