With a title like that, and given the mangaka’s other famous work, you might suspect that the answer to the question is still ‘no time soon’. Then again, what’s the point of having expectations, if not to subvert them?
Don’t mess with the powers of the school festival, says this volume wholeheartedly, as our leads help out their respective classes and then suddenly find themselves at loose ends. An attempt to drum up club members is quickly derailed by Ayumu calling a fig a fig and cozy fun ensues.
This is one of the strongest story arcs in this volume, as our titular pair are aided and abetted in the name of having a date (or something similar), with Yaotome’s bravado hoisting her utterly and then coming back around to make Ayumu’s day. The way it subverts this trope via Ayumu’s nature is really cute.
It features the first of two hilarious box jokes (this one featuring the series’ other awkward couple in a try-hard attempt to help that instantly spirals out of control) and ends with a really sweet conversation about, well, how being an introvert isn’t such a bad thing (big bonus points for that).
Ayumu and Yaotome continue to be opposite sides of the same coin, they just show their flustered selves differently. Yaotone’s “NWHA!?” of shock is now 100% a character trait, much like Ayumu holding his hand to his mouth as if his joy might escape if he’s not careful.
The last section, whereupon the unthinkable happens and this series’ ending appears nigh…. naturally walks itself back on a technicality, but it’s still an amazing swerve that I never would have thought this mangaka had in them. The whole thing makes story sense AND character sense and that’s a fun route to go down.
I mean, the consistency is what I love and this story is consistently fun and these two are always a hoot to watch. From Yaotome’s machinations to Ayumu’s forthright nature and with some shoji in between. It’s cool to see our leads notch an actual win or two while maintaining the core premise; that’s not an easy feat to manage.
4 stars - some minor tweaks to the last volume, enough to keep it fresh, and the continued good use of actual side characters, plus the variations in the plotting, keep this high on my list of ongoing stories. It’s absolutely charming.

Another adorable volume with some nice steps in there relationships but still nothing major.
It's been so fun to read, how can you not like then as a pair!

Cute, but the gimmicks are getting old.

Thus is such a cute story. A little too much loli for me, though.
The club president is rather loli, so I'm a little uncomfortable at times. There are two other female characters, one being the prez's BFF, who looks like a well developed 16 yo, while the other, the library girl, she too is very much a loli. Since they all are in HS and the prez is a 2nd year, it just feels weird to see the male MC, who looks about 16, spending all his time with a flat-chested girl that looks like she's 12, at the most.

I ended up devouring the first 13 of this series over the course of a couple of weeks. I really enjoyed the relationship between the main characters. It's super sweet but adorable they just have this sweet romance. The art is beautiful and I found the whole came of shogi interesting. I will continue this series. I did a blanket review for all the books I've read so for. This is a high school romance that is slow burn so and I highly recommend.

El desarrollo de personajes está muy bien hasta ahora... Me gusta cada uno de los diseños de personajes que han presentado hasta ahora, tanto como su actitud y la relación con nuestros dos protagonistas principales.

(ღ˘⌣˘ღ) TOO FRICKING CUTE AND WHOLESOME!!
Love the back and forth here...neither seems to have the true upper hand. Mah heart. More more more. The school festival was the main setting here and it was adorable!!

December 5, 2024Cute and sweet. I don’t quite understand how sitting in a cardboard box is going to help keep her warm, but it was cute that he imagined her as an abandoned kitten 😆 and her hiding in the box and his attempt to let her scare him…

That felt so short! And what a fake out ending. Can't wait to see the anime!

Qu’est ce que j’aime ce petit manga! C’est toujours un plaisir de dévorer un tome de cette série. C’est une histoire super légère, drôle, qui nous fait passer un excellent moment. Les deux premiers tomes m’ont vraiment énormément plu et j’avais très hâte de découvrir ce troisième tome. Je n’ai pas été déçue, surtout qu’ici, je trouve que l’histoire avance d’un grand pas. Je prends aussi beaucoup de plaisir à essayer de comprendre le jeu du shôgi mais clairement ce n’est pas pour moi, je n’y comprends strictement rien!
Dans ce troisième tome, Ayumu est ferme dans sa résolution de ne pas demander à Yaotome de sortir avant de l’avoir battue au shogi. Incapable de sortir des stratagèmes de Yaotome au tableau, que doit-il faire alors qu’ils prévoient tous les deux d’assister seuls au festival de l’école ? Cela ne pouvait certainement pas faire de mal de se retrouver là-haut en tant qu’amis …
Ce que j’ai le plus aimé dans ce tome, c’est voir la relation entre Ayumu et Yaotome évoluer. Il n’a pas encore avouer ses sentiments à cette dernière, il attend de la battre à la loyale pour dévoiler ce qu’il ressent. Mais les deux prennent le temps de se faire un petit rendez-vous galant à la fête. J’ai trouvé ce moment plutôt mignon et adorable. Les voir tous les embarrassés comme c’était vraiment drôle mais terriblement mignon. Ces deux là me font vraiment rire, avec Ayumu on a toujours l’impression qu’il n’est pas content et j’en passe alors qu’en fait ce n’est pas du tout le cas, il ne fait que se contenir. Yaotome fait souvent la forte tête mais elle est très vite mal à l’aise devant les paroles de Ayumu. Vraiment ces deux là me font tellement rire! J’ai hâte de voir leur histoire continuer à se développer!
Un troisième tome aussi bon que les deux précédents. C’est une histoire vraiment agréable à lire. C’est frais, drôle, léger et j’en passe. Tout ce qu’il faut pour passer un excellent moment pendant notre lecture. J’aime voir la relation entre les deux personnages évoluer doucement comme ça, on les voit apprendre à se connaître de plus en plus, la relation entre les deux s’approfondie. Je me demande si Ayumu arrivera à confesser ses sentiments à Yaotome, je suis très curieuse de découvrir tout ça!

The school festival has rolled around and Ayumu and Yaotome are going on a date~!! These two are clearly into each other, or at least in love with the idea of being in love, and then the book teases us with Ayumu getting
this close
to finally asking Yaotome to be his girlfriend.
This purposefully feeds all of my "It's so cute!" "I ship it so much!" "OTP!" nerdy weeb impulses and I'm thankful.
This series has 17 volumes.

More of a 3.5 star rating;
I love that they went on an actual date and Ayumu even initiated talk of a future date, and yet the pair are both very shy around each other in terms of actually confessing. These two shogi players are precious and I want to bang their heads together so they at least admit that they care greatly for each other. I also liked that we got to see more characters like Urushi’s playful friend. I like how supportive she is to Urushi and Ayumu.
