The Ryuo's Work is Never Done!
On AT-X
A lighthearted comedy about a shogi prodigy and his young apprentice, built on affectionate character dynamics and the gentle stakes of competitive board games.
The story is about a teenage boy who happens to be a shougi master. One day, a nine-year-old girl turns up at his house, requesting to be taken as his disciple. From there, all kinds of wacky hijinks ensue.
