When Will Ayumu Make His Move?, Vol. 1

At a vibrant high school filled with the energy of budding talents, Yaotome, the dedicated president of the shogi club, navigates the complexities of strategy both on and off the board. With her sharp instincts, she recognizes a special spark in her fellow club member, Ayumu, whose unyielding determination and unique approach to the game intrigue her deeply.

As they engage in intense matches, Yaotome finds herself drawn to Ayumu's unwavering spirit and potential. However, Ayumu seems to be engrossed in his own world, wrapped up in the intricacies of shogi, leaving Yaotome wondering when he will take decisive steps not just in the game, but in their budding relationship.

This first volume weaves a tale of ambition, friendship, and the subtle nuances of adolescence, as characters confront their feelings amid competitive spirits. With each move on the board, the tension builds, both in their shogi games and in the evolving dynamics of their connection.
