Some kid with a split personality plays shogi against himself. That's a pretty fun idea. One personality comes out at night, the other comes out at day. That being the case, only one of them got to go to school and make friends. Due to a freak accident, their night/day cycles get swapped, putting our goody-two-shoes Taisei on the night shift. The story mainly follows the uneducated Taisei as he chases his other half's shogi glory.

Anyway, so it's a decent idea for a story, though I don't know how to play shogi and don't care about it at all. The opponents are all heavily ... exaggerated with special abilities. One of the school kids has such a high power level that he can transform Osaka into a large crater in the Earth's surface by slamming down a shogi piece onto the game board. Buildings, spectators, wildlife, all wiped out in an instant.

They take the special ability thing just a little too far towards the end. I guess they were desperate to try anything to keep this from getting axed. It was a mildly amusing read while it lasted.
