Synopsis of Soredemo Ayumu wa Yosetekuru

On a whim, Ayumu Tanaka leaves the Kendo Club for the first year to join the illegitimate Shogi Club. Urushi Yaotome, club president and Shogi teacher, is happy to finally have found a playmate. As Ayumus Senpai, Urushi strives to be their Shogi mentor and role model for students. But all too often he blushes with embarrassment! With a fairly honest face, Ayumu sees no problem in calling her "cute" and although her feelings are obvious, she doesn't admit them, promising himself that he will hit her first in a shogi game.

During their school life and their shogi games, the two students will have many fun and heartwarming adventures. Ayumu is enjoying every second with urushi but is still far from beating her in a shogi match. With the commitment he has made to himself, will Ayumu ever get the chance to confess her feelings to Urushi?
