Rin vs Urushi in a shogi match! This was like a fated match ever since they've first met in the show.

Was kinda surprised at Makin making an appearance but a welcome on. I'm also pretty sure Rin will be a regular from now on since she's part of the club now.

Well we learned Rin is really competitive and it pretty much decides everything she does.
She is rooting for the couple tho which is nice to see.
The question is how is she going to help them out.

Funny that Rin heard what she said but Tanaka didn't, the last scene is really nice! It's great to see all of them having a great time together.

I was really hoping Urushi would give ayumu a kiss on the bench lol but I should have known better! It’s so nice seeing how much the shogi club has grown. Obviously, ayumu prefers it to be just he and senpai, but this allows them to stay together and play the game they love so it’s a win win.

I like Rin, she’s got a great competitive edge to her. Little bit of a love triangle forming?

Our senpai stays unchallenged, turning rivals and enemies into friends. Who would have thought that one defeat is all it takes for this new super eager shogi club member to appear huh, Urushi got herself another admirer ... but unfortunately, Rin was suddenly, out of nowhere poached by Maki to further her schemes, lol.

YAY, the Shogi Club us FINALLY an official club thanks to Rin Kagawa's s inclusion, but don't go thinking for a moment that she's a total newbie.

Just like Kendo, Rin's surprisingly good at Shogi, and Ayumu declares a loss in shock, while Urushi faces a worthy challenger after teaching him for so long. And yes, even if he didn't win, his assurance that Urushi will win is comfort and focus more than anything, which she did. And most undoubtedly, her superiority complex will not fade away into worshipping Urushi and trashing Ayumu, and the errand runner for Urushi turns into a competition between Ayumu and Rin. Thankfully, Maki saved their asses by knowing how to deal with Rin, but when it comes to romance, Ayumu is dense, and their forever alone time will never be the same again.

But of all the people, I didn't expect Rin to be the straightforward character trying to question Urushi whether she has an interest on Ayumu (which clearly she does), and asking Takeru seems to have the same answer. And of all the things to do, trying to interfere with Ayumu in his romance, man the close friend just can't stop being serious about it...because she TOO, has a crush on Ayumu. And this is evidenced in their time of club, which Urushi tries to be the mature adult that isn't all that mature.

The welcome party for Rin and the Shogi Club's official status, and sakura blossoms take precedence over Shogi, which Maki is a true winggirl to let both Ayumu and Urushi have their own privare time.

+1 for a competitive player like Rin, a potential love interest.

Great episode! The shogi club is now an official school club with Rin joining.
She plays a match against Ayumu and is very serious about it...she even won!
It seems she has taken many classes when she was younger including shogi.
She called him Tanaka san after defeating him.
And now she wants to face Urushi the president-or as she calls her-Yaotome senpai!
Urushi messes up a move but Ayumu encourages her that she can definitely beat Rin.
And in the end...Urushi wins! Rin has started to call her 'president' now also! What an amazing promotion!
Her attitude has also changed as well in a good way but since she beat Ayumu she won't call him senpai again...
Rin comes up to Ayumu at lunch asking to eat together and wanting to buy it for her.
Ayumu stops her as he wants to be her errand boy instead! Who will she choose??!
Sakurako luckily helps out and asks Rin to eat with her instead saying she is better than Urushi! That does the trick...
Wow, Rin really does suck up to the strongest xD.
Urushi says they should throw a welcome party for Rin.
She even asks Ayumu if it would be better if it were just them 2 still in the club but Ayumu handled the question well and made Ayumu blush lol.
She tries an attack of her own...but it fails as Rin enters the clubroom!
The next day, Rin asks Urushi if she likes Ayumu as she heard that she was about to call him handsome....
But Urushi convinces her it is the other way around though she would be happy if Ayumu really liked her.
Rin goes to talk to Ayumu about it but her method is to help him improve at shogi so he can beat Urushi and confess to her.
Urushi now faces off against Ayumu but she is jealous that Rin is sitting so close to him...
The result of the match was that Urushi destroyed Ayumu!
Rin is happy about the food at the welcoming party. And Sakurako as well as Takeru join. Seems Rin knew Sakurako as she used to watch the kendo club practice before.
Sakurako allowed Urushi and Ayumu to have their private time also.

Looking forward to the next episode!

This episode is hard too watch. Rin has (or had?) a crush on Tanaka but she won't confess until she win against him. Too bad she can't win in Kendo but she did win in Shogi so I think she should confess, even if it means Tanaka will reject her. May be she's being considerate considering that she knows Tanaka like Urushi and Urushi like him too. But being not able to confess must be a torture...

I was a bit worried Urushi's position would be taken but luckily not. The president difference, I guess. Also, I hope there's no love triangle. Would be better off with out one.

WHOLESOME!

Looking forward to next week's episode. Also I wonder if Ayumu's kouhai will challenge him again to kendo again sooner or later since due to the flash back, it looks like she has some hidden feelings for him. Another question is how will she help Ayumu out when she has those feelings for him if she still does.

Rin's easily a great addition to the shogi club. The way that she looked down upon Ayumu after beating him in a game was amusing, which got even better when she lost to Urushi and looked up to her as if she's a goddess. XD

Thanks to Maki, the whole club, including Takeru, Sakurako and two of Urushi's friends, all joined together to have a little celebration party under the school's own cherry blossom trees to congratulate Rin for joining the club. While she was destroying Takeru in a game of shogi, Ayumu and Urushi had some alone time together. Their moments here was made even better with the visuals looking very sharp and detailed. Not only did we get plenty of Urushi's embarrassed expressions, but Ayumu actually blushed himself for a change. =P

I will admit that the episode poll isn't as positive as I thought it would be, but I like this episode regardless of that. Here's hoping that we get more Takeru/Sakurako screentime very soon!

Well as expected Rin used to like, likes?, Ayumu so her cheering him is bitter sweet, I really dislike love triangles like this because the "loser" rarely ever gets to find their own partner and just gets a middle finger usually.

Maki is the best, love her VA and she always makes me laugh when she shows up. Also with Rin I am surprised she's so harsh to him when she loves him and that she's so willing to help him, I figured she'd be the wedge.

It's nice and all that the club is coming together, but idk I'd still feel a little bad for taking these guys away from their kendo, even if they did join the shogi club voluntarily. Everyone's happy though, and that's all that matters.

Club President Urushi has a nice ring to it haha. Rin is going to make an interesting addition to the club. For one, she’s apparently quite good at Shogi! You come at the Queen, you best not miss haha. Urushi has the power of love on her side! I love how Rin has tossed Ayumu to the side like a used tissue and now she’s Team Urushi all the way lol.

Ayumu and Rin competing for Urushi’s attentions is pretty hilarious. Good thing Maki showed up and saved the day haha. She’s so mischievous!

Urushi is right! He always does make her blush and when she tries to do anything, he never reacts haha. Rin is a sharp one though! Figured it all out. Well, she is kinda like a female Ayumu in a way. Wanted to beat Ayumu before she confessed her love huh? But she beat him in Shogi and yet nothing…or so it seems.

That picnic sure was nice! Maki’s always planning something lol. Nice of her to give Ayumu and Urushi some time alone together. I really thought Urushi was gonna go in for a kiss! Ayumu looked like he temporarily glitched lol.

The Shogi club became an official club.
Rin is a member and played against Ayumu, and we see that she is very competitive. And when she played against Urushi she gained respect from her...too much xd. She wanted to be his errand girl and Ayumu wanted to avoid that, but he wanted to be too xD. And Maki saved the situation.
Rin wondered if Urushi did have feelings for Ayumu, because she heard them talking, that she was just trying to annoy him. But she was in doubt and asked Takeru about it, and yes. And now she went to Ayumu and helped him to confess. But we also noticed that Rin was going to do the same as Ayumu, she wanted to beat him in Kendo and then confess, coincidences.
She was teaching him to play against Urushi, she won xd. And then they did the welcome party for Rin.
Good chapter.

Excellent episode.

Shogi is now an official club which is great. We got more of Rin as well, she's okay. Introduced solely so she could get her heart broken. She's got short hairs too, nothing more to say. Liked how her facial expressions became softer while eating, she must love eating :D But it was quite a surprise that Rin liked Ayumu and even more surprising that she agreed to coach him so he can beat Urushi which well isn't of much use as Rin herself couldn't beat Urushi.

The Ayumu and Urushi conversation at the end was so sweet and cute.

Not gonna lie when Urushi started getting close to Ayumu I just instinctively held my breath, it happened out of nowhere, I knew they can't jut throw in a kiss casually like that, where's the build up? Nice playing with viewer's kokoro's. Even though she was just trying to remove a sakura petal still we can see that Ayumu ended up blushing. For the first time ever. Urushi has finally managed to make the poker-faced Ayumu blush. Well done.

Urushi's reaction faces this episode were cute. Got loads of wallpapers. Why are all big-forehead anime girls so cute?

5/5.

With Rin officially part of the club now we’re definitely learning more about her, like how she respects people based on if she’s stronger than them or not, and if you’re stronger than her she follows you around and tries to be your errand girl lol, those personality traits are definitely kinda annoying but I’m liking her presence so far, especially as the episode went on. Urushi getting to experience what it’s like being a true club president was funny too lol.

And after starting the party they planned for Rin which was a half cherry blossom viewing and half shogi tournament, Urushi and Ayumu have an incredibly sweet moment together on the bench next to the tree, man it really did appear she was going for the kiss but she sadly didn’t, but man Ayumu’s heart probably shrank in that moment lol, it was really well animated too, very beautiful scene. Safe to say that was one of the best moments between the two of them so far, and it was nice seeing the shogi club feel more like a shogi club at the end there with everyone playing each other.

Rin likes Ayumu and she also planned to confess after beating him in kendo like how Ayumu plans to confess to senpai after beating her but she missed her chance. I knew something like this was gonna be revealed about Rin, I do feel bad for her but Urushi x Ayumu ftw. Also love how Maki has full control of things.

Maki surely is an expert wingman (or wingwoman) as she was able to manipulate Rin fairly easily so that Ayumu and Urushi could be together. I wasn't sure that Rin had (or maybe has?) feelings for Ayumu but seeing that signage that she would confess to him if she could beat him in kendo confirmed it. However, it does appear that Rin will help Ayumu confess to Urushi by helping him with shogi so we'll see if that sticks. Lastly, the party welcoming Rin was nice, and we thought Urushi was going to kiss Ayumu but it was only to remove a petal from Ayumu's head! Well played Urushi, looks like you finally made him blush after the countless times you've blushed.

Finally, they are a real club lol.

Lol Rin went from a competitive hater to a fangirl.

I was kinda predicting that Rin used to have a crush on Ayumu back in the day. Sadly, she could never achieve her goal. Now, she doesn't want Ayumu to go the same route.

It seems like Urushi would be glad if Ayumu confesses to her.

The cherry blossoms scene was so cute lmao
