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). On a fateful day, Ai Hinatsuru, an elementary school student passionate about chess, appears before him claiming that he promised to be her master. But was that promise truly made? Thus began the master-disciple relationship between them!
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 novel's final arc.
Finally, 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 finished it in August 2019. Square Enix then published the tenth and final volume of the manga in August 2019.
