Synopsis

On a whim, first-year Ayumu Tanaka quits the Kendo Club to join the illegitimate Shogi Club. Urushi Yaotome, the president of the club and a master of shogi, is thrilled to finally have a playing partner. As Ayumu's upperclassman, Urushi endeavors to be his shogi mentor and student role model. Too often, however, she finds herself blushing with embarrassment! Stone-faced and honest, Ayumu sees no issue with calling Urushi "cute." Although Ayumu likes her, he refrains from confessing and promises himself to first beat her in a game of shogi.

Through school life and shogi games, the two students have many hilarious and heart-warming adventures. Ayumu enjoys every second with Urushi, but he is still a long way from beating her in shogi. With the commitment he made to himself, will Ayumu ever get the chance to confess his feelings to Urushi?

Hi, I was the proofreader for this series for the past 4 years; from chapter 2 till the end (I'm checking Vol. 16 extra as of writing this) If you've read this in any unlicensed site, I was the one to check the translation before it got typeset. So, since I've been with this manga for so long, I thought I'd give me thoughts about it.

This is a light-hearted Yamamoto SoL. Meaning, mostly one-off chapters, generic romance manga tropes, superficial characters interacting by means of standard manga humor, and big foreheads. If you've read Takagi, you've read this one. Do not come into it ...

Mixed Feelings

Easy-to-read romantic slice-of-life comedy with cute (but generic) characters. It has become a formula for many mangas, although, this one tries to give it a spin with the shogi angle. It doesn't succeed most of the time.

The main thing I can truly criticise is the length - 17 volumes for this kind of story is way too much - and in top of that, there is not much development of many of the characters (even the main couple).

Another point, it became quite repetitive towards the end - however it kept a fast pace (at least in the last two volumes) and the ending was ...

The story is beautiful at the beginning, until it reached chapter 30, I started to feel bored, but I continued reading, and this is the worst thing I have ever done in my life.
Not worth
The story is very ordinary and does not deserve more than 100 chapters
The narration in the story is acceptable
The feelings between the characters are incredibly stupid. They deal with normal situations as if they were stupid or robots. I don't know why.
Do I recommend its cows? no
Why ? Because there is nothing logical about the events
Read anything other than this. This is my advice to you
