In both shows the main characters play shogi, and one learns about the game upto varying limits.

While Awake is about a shogi player who turns to computer programming, Banjo no Himawari is a murder mystery where a shogi piece is found near a corpse.

Both shows focus on the game of shogi and the lives of shogi players.

Nakimushi Shottan no Kiseki is a motivational story about the persistance of a man as he attempts to become a professional shogi player at the age of thirty five where as Awake is about a young adult who turns to developing a computer shogi program after deciding to quit playing shogi due to being unable to defeat his childhood competitor.

Similar about shogi player story but in Chihayafuru have a high romance love story & about achieving her dreams as a top shogi player. She want to be the best shogi player so she can meet her long lost time best frie d again because they made a promise when they were kids. I like Chihayafuru cast especially Mackenyu too adorable. He fit his role as high school student.

In both movies, the main character plays shogi.

MCILAL is more of a 'slice of life' drama. It focuses on the life of Kiriyama Rei and how his relationships outside the world of shogi affect him as a shogi player.
