They also revealed the first movie trailer. This trailer starts with a seventeen year old professional shogi player, Rei Kiriyama who doesn’t have a house or family. His gloomy facial expression leads you to the world of “March Comes in Like a Lion” in a blink of an eye.

As for female casts, a step-sister Kyoko who seems to hold a grudge on Rei will be played by Kasumi Arimura, and cheerful sisters will be played by Kana Kurashina and Kaya Kiyohara.

On their poster, we can see Rei standing under the falling cherry blossoms with the background of Tokyo. The title, “March Comes in Like a Lion” comes from England’s famous proverb which refers to the beginning of spring.
