When Will Ayumu Make His Move?
Synopsis
Yaotome's the president of the shogi club at her high school, and she's pretty sure that Ayumu, an underclassman and the only other member of the club, has a huge crush on her. They get together to play shogi every day after school, but no matter what she does, she can't seem to get him to confess his feelings! What she doesn't know is that Ayumu has made a pact with himself to reveal his love only after he's beaten Yaotome at shogi for the first time. Yet there's one big issue with this plan...he really sucks!

Shogi Club/ School Romance
*Warning: diabete-causing manga

To make a long story short, this should have been a 4-koma. This story honestly doesn't go anywhere. Every chapter, you start essentially at the same point the last chapter began with. I'm not finding any development in terms of romance, characters, plot... It's sort of like watching reruns of the same show. Sure they get into different conversations and situations, but after 20 chapters, the story still hasn't gotten off the ground. It feels like I'm reading pre-chapter manga pages before a real chapter starts. But hey, it's cute, sure, but it's not something that's developing into something serious (at least not within the
