3-gatsu no Lion addpermalink

Both series have similar vibes, similar watercolory art style and heartfelt characters. Both have a sad undertone and deal with questions on how to grow up and live life as an adult. In both series the parents are absent and MC learns about life through the help of those around them.

While 3-gatsu no Lion is more competitive and the episodes are chained by the rules of the world of Shogi players, Ikoku Nikki ihasmore of a tipycal slice of life flow.
