A girl turned mute by trauma becomes a Shougi prodigy, and every game she plays is her trying to speak through the only language left to her. The show understands that silence isn't weakness, it's the armor she built to survive, and the board is where she gets to be loud. Watch a quiet kid solve the geometry of survival one move at a time, and understand why she never needs to say a word.
Shion carries a silence that runs deeper than words. At thirteen, she's already a prodigy in professional shogi. Years ago, her parents were murdered in front of her. The killer made her a deal: forget what happened, forget how to speak, and she might survive. She did both. Now, as Shion climbs the ranks of women's professional shogi, her past won't stay buried. Every match draws scrutiny. Every victory raises questions. Her talent catches the eye of Satoru Hani, a wealthy businessman and brother of the reigning Meijin, who sets up a tournament open to men and women alike and presses her to enter. Satoru seems to know a great deal about the night her family died, and her friend Ayumi and the police grow wary of him. As the memories she lost begin to return, each game brings Shion closer to the truth about that night.
