Soredemo Ayumu – Manga ends in 5 chapters
Synopsis
When Ayumu Tanaka, the high school kendo champion, enters his first year of high school, he takes an unexpected path. Instead of joining the kendo club, he decides to enroll in the unofficial shogi club. However, his motivation is simple: he fell in love at first sight with Urushi Yaotome, the club president and its only member, and is willing to do anything to get closer to her. However, Ayumu makes a promise to himself that he will not reveal his feelings to Urushi until he defeats her in a shogi match.
Naturally, this self-imposed challenge proves a formidable task for Ayumu, as Urushi possesses vast experience in the game and can anticipate all of her strategies. However, that doesn't stop him from complimenting her appearance, her shogi skill, and even her smile. Ayumu's direct approach and impassive face often make Urushi blush beet red. As Ayumu learns more about the world of shogi and the charming player before him, he dedicates himself to making his confession with each exciting match they play together—even if it's one pawn at a time!
Yamamoto ( Teasing Master Takagi-san ) launched the series in Weekly Shounen Magazine in March 2019. The manga commemorates the 60th anniversary of Weekly Shounen Magazine.
