    Synopsis:

    Ayumu Tanaka’s high school experience takes an unexpected turn when he chooses the Shogi Club over the more conventional Kendo Club, driven by an immediate attraction to Urushi Yaotome, the club's solitary president. His plan is simple: prove himself worthy of her attention through mastery of shogi. The narrative follows Ayumu’s dedicated pursuit as he grapples with Urushi’s considerable skill and perceptive nature, each game a test of both strategic prowess and personal courage.

    The series unfolds within the quiet atmosphere of the Shogi Club, exploring themes of admiration, self-improvement, and the subtle nuances of developing relationships. Ayumu's unwavering focus on Urushi contrasts with her reserved demeanor, creating a dynamic where small gestures and shared moments hold significant weight. The story emphasizes the evolving connection between the two characters as they navigate their individual pursuits and the unspoken feelings that begin to surface amidst the competitive yet intimate setting of shogi matches.
