Soredemo Ajumu wa josetekuru

Ayumu was a Kendo competitor in middle school, so everyone assumed that he'd join the Kendo club for his first year in high school. Instead, he becomes involved with an entirely different sort of activity with a Second-Year girl… an activity famous for becoming increasingly complex the longer it goes on! We're talking about Shogi, of course, the board game that's often referred to as Japanese chess. But the game itself soon becomes a problem, because while Ayumu finds himself increasingly attracted to Urushi, he's also sworn not to tell her until he's won a match against her… and Urushi's REALLY good at Shogi! So now they're stuck in a loop, caught up in ancient game that's far more complicated than chess… and also playing a lot of Shogi as well… wondering when will ayumu make his move? (Sentai Filmworks)
