Urushi Yaotome, who is the president of the club and a master of shogi herself, is thrilled to finally have a playing partner. Being Ayumu’s upperclassman, Urushi endeavors to be his shogi mentor and also his student role model. But it is too often, that she finds herself blushing with embarrassment! Stone-faced, straightforward, and honest, Ayumu sees no issue while he calls Urushi “cute.”
Ayumu promises that he would confess his feelings to Urushi, his senpai, only after he can defeat her in the Shogi game. But here the problem lies, as he is just a beginner at the game whereas Urushi is a pro and she always beats him. Meanwhile, Urushi keeps on trying to get Ayumu to admit that he has feelings for her, but Ayumu does not allow his poker face to slip. Ayumu gets determined to confess only after beating her in the game of shogi.
The two of them, have both extremely hilarious moments and many heart-warming adventures, all through their school life and the shogi games.
