Ayumu Tanaka, a first-year high school student and former middle school kendo champion, surprises everyone by skipping the Kendo Club and joining the school's unofficial Shogi Club instead. His reason is simple: he fell in love at first sight with its president, second-year Urushi Yaotome, who until then had been the club's only member. Ayumu has sworn not to confess his feelings until he beats her at shogi fair and square, but he is a complete beginner and Urushi, far more experienced, sees through every strategy he tries. His affection is obvious to her anyway, and she keeps trying to trick him into breaking his vow. Ayumu keeps an unshakable poker face while bluntly praising her looks, skill and smile, which leaves Urushi blushing. In a club of just two members, a romantic comedy unfolds both on and off the shogi board.
