If you were able to watch and enjoy Hikaru no Go you will probably like 3-gatsu no Lion as well. Both are about characters trying to be / become professional board game players so the style is similar because you get to see the gameplays. In my opinion watching Hikaru matches was more interesting, while in 3-gatsu the life of the player in general is more developed and perhaps more troubled. But overall both very nice shows.
Main focus on historical traditional board games that require a lot of skill and strategy, male protagonists, no romantic subplot, and an awesome soundtrack you'll be humming a long time after watching these.
About a young boy learning to play a board game. Much longer and not so much about his inner struggles, but an excellent show nonetheless.
Two slice of life's centering a boy MC who has a hobby playing a board game, Hikaru plays 'Go' and Rei at 3-gatsu plays 'Shogi'. Both main characters are considered prodigies and also go through a period where they are unable to win. They are mocked by someone who is stronger than them. They are both very young when they become pro and this makes others look down on them until proven otherwise. Also both MC's have a rival of the same age, this is crucial that how they pushes Mc to grow through circumstances itself.
