When Will Ayumu Make His Move (Soredemo Ayumu wa Yosetekuru) synopsis: When Ayumu Tanaka, a former middle school kendo champion, embarks on his high school journey, he takes an unexpected turn by joining the unofficial Shogi Club instead of the Kendo Club. His singular motivation? Love at first sight for Urushi Yaotome, the club's president and sole member. Ayumu is willing to go to great lengths to get closer to her, but he decides not to confess his feelings until he can best her in a fair game of shogi. This self-imposed challenge proves to be a formidable task for Ayumu, as Urushi boasts greater experience in the game and effortlessly sees through his every strategy. Nonetheless, Ayumu's unwavering compliments on her appearance, skill, and radiant smile, coupled with his own stoic demeanor and direct approach, leave Urushi perpetually blushing. With each thrilling match they play together, Ayumu not only hones his shogi skills but also inches closer to the moment of making his heartfelt confession—one pawn at a time.
