Synopsis
The story is about a teenager named Yaichi Kuzuryuu, who happens to be the strongest chess player in history, holding the ultimate title of "Ryuo" (Dragon King). One fateful day, Ai Hinatsuru, a middle school student with a passion for chess, appears before him, claiming he promised to be her teacher. But was that promise truly fulfilled? Thus began their master-disciple relationship!
The 14th volume of the light novel series, released in Japan in February 2021, marked the beginning of a new “season” for the plot, as well as starting the final arc of the novel.
Ultimately, the novels inspired an anime adaptation in January 2018. Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired in Japan. Kazuki and Kogetaokoge also launched a manga adaptation in Square Enix's Young Gangan magazine in October 2015, and completed it in August 2019.
