In this delightfully charming romantic comedy, high school freshman Ayumu Tanaka harbors a secret crush on his senior, the beautiful and intelligent Urushi Yaotome, who serves as the president of the shogi club. However, Ayumu has made a solemn vow: he will not confess his feelings until he can defeat her in a game of shogi. There is just one problem—Ayumu is utterly terrible at the game, while Urushi is a formidable prodigy. Despite his losing streak, Ayumu remains determined, and the two spend their afternoons locked in playful matches, their banter filled with unspoken tension and flirtatious teasing. Urushi, who is secretly hoping Ayumu will make his move, often finds herself flustered by his earnest dedication. The series, based on the manga by Soichiro Yamamoto, masterfully balances lighthearted comedy with sweet, slow-burn romance, capturing the awkward yet endearing dynamic of young love. As the games continue, viewers are treated to a heartwarming tale of persistence, friendship, and the thrilling uncertainty of whether Ayumu will ever win—or finally find the courage to speak his heart.
