Here are the links to the contents which appeared in Anime News Network(ANN) regarding Shion no Ou. It is a manga written by Masaru Katori(Naoko Hayashiba who used be a lady shogi proffesional player) and drawn by Jiro Ando
I think this will be fan-dubbed into English and some other language somewhere when it start to be on air in Japan.
Shion No Ou reminds me some of the classic shojo-manga(girls' comic) titles when I was teens. Well-structured. Hope it lures more girls and women into shogi because it seems that this one has a large number of female readers.
