From the creative mind behind Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san comes a charming romantic comedy following Tanaka Ayumu, a shy first-year high schooler harboring secret feelings for his upperclassman, Yaotome Urushi. As president of their school’s unofficial Shogi club, Urushi remains unaware of Ayumu’s growing affection. The determined freshman makes an unusual promise to himself—he’ll only confess his love after defeating her in a game of Shogi.
However, Ayumu faces a major obstacle—he’s just starting to learn the complex strategy game while Urushi is a skilled player who consistently outmatches him. Despite his repeated losses, he stubbornly maintains his resolve, carefully hiding his emotions behind a neutral expression. Meanwhile, Urushi playfully teases him, sensing his hidden feelings but unable to get a clear confession.
Though victory in Shogi seems distant, their playful dynamic leads to unexpected moments where Ayumu might find another way to reach her heart. This heartwarming story explores young love, determination, and the subtle battles between two people slowly growing closer.
