I’m an awful reviewer, but I decided I should write what I felt while watching this anime.
I hope you like this one. This is a spoiler-free review.
Soredemo Ayumu wa Yosetekuru, or should I say "When Will Ayumu Make His Move?" is a simple high school romance anime that I’ll never get bored of watching. This show deserves more hype.
It shares the same art as teasing master Takagi san, but the story is quite different from Takagi san. This is the story between a senpai and her kohai, Ayumu, who is a kendo star and champion in his middle school, joins a Shogi club in his first year of high school, not because he was interested in Shogi, but he fell in love at first sight with the president and the only member of Shogi club Urushi Yaotome, and decides he’ll confess his love to his senpai when he beats her in a game of Shogi, and yeah Urushi is super good in Shogi.
Ayumu is a bold type of character, a kind of straight-forward guy, and a super hard-working and dedicated type, who always tries his best but gets beaten by Urushi all the time lol. On the other hand, Urushi is a shy and sweet type of girl. She always tries to maintain her character in front of Ayumu to look cool, but always gets embarrassed because of how Ayumu flirts with her with a straight face.
I loved this anime because of how both characters get connected to each other through the game of Shogi, and both of them are so cute and adorable, I’ll mention this again whenever Ayumu flirts with Urushi, the reaction she gives is priceless.
I loved both the main characters and the other side characters.
It’s a simple, cute, and sweet show that will make you feel good, and how beautiful is the innocent love they share.
And Urushi was so adorable lol.
And yeah, to be honest, I love high school romance anime like this one.
I would love to see more seasons of this anime in the future.
It's a wonderful show, and I highly recommend it.
I hope you’ll enjoy watching it.
