Movie content:
When high school kendo champion Ayumu Tanaka started his first year of high school, he didn't follow the expected path to join the Kendo Club; he signed up for the unofficial Shogi Club instead. His sole motive is to fall in love with Urushi Yaotome at first sight - the club's president and only member - and will do anything to get closer to her. However, Ayumu decided not to confess to Urushi until he could defeat her in a fair and square shogi match.
Naturally, this self-imposed barrier was a formidable challenge for Ayumu to overcome, as Urushi was much more experienced in the game and saw through all his strategies. However, this didn't stop him from praising her looks, skills or even her smile, along with Ayumu's expressionless face and direct approach, causing Urushi to blush repeatedly. Learning more about the shogi and the charming player sitting across from him, Ayumu moves toward confessing with each exciting round they play together — even if it's one pawn at a time!
