The Ryuo's Work is Never Done! is now fully available on Crunchyroll with both English dub and subtitles. The 12-episode series, animated by Project No.9, dives into the competitive world of professional shogi, following Yaichi Kuzuryuu, the youngest player ever to achieve the prestigious 'Dragon King' title.
The anime centers on Yaichi taking in a young prodigy, Ai, who becomes his disciple. Their relationship forms the core of the story, blending strategic gameplay with coming-of-age themes and a cast that leans heavily female. While the premise highlights the intensity of shogi tournaments, expect a significant dose of comedy and character-driven slice-of-life moments.
As a complete series from the Winter 2018 season, viewers can now binge the entire adaptation, which adapts the early arcs of the light novel series. It offers a unique look into professional Japanese board gaming culture, framed by a story of mentorship and burgeoning talent.
