The manga series 'Soredemo Ayumu wa Yosetekuru' is getting a TV anime adaptation due to air in 2022.

Plot Synopsis (from MAL)

Quote:

On a whim, first-year Ayumu Tanaka quits the Kendo Club to join the illegitimate Shogi Club. Urushi Yaotome, the president of the club and a master of shogi, is thrilled to finally have a playing partner. As Ayumu's upperclassman, Urushi endeavors to be his shogi mentor and student role model. Too often, however, she finds herself blushing with embarrassment! Stone-faced and honest, Ayumu sees no issue with calling Urushi "cute." Although Ayumu likes her, he refrains from confessing and promises himself to first beat her in a game of shogi.

Through school life and shogi games, the two students have many hilarious and heart-warming adventures. Ayumu enjoys every second with Urushi, but he is still a long way from beating her in shogi. With the commitment he made to himself, will Ayumu ever get the chance to confess his feelings to Urushi?

Admittedly, I would prefer a new season of Takagi-san, but I'm fine with this as well. I wonder if Tsubaki adaptation is next.

Out of all of Yamamato's works I've liked this one the most purely because it's the one story I've read from him so far that doesn't feel like he's picking on his own characters. But that's not saying much - it's still typical fluff stuff.

Kind of giving me Kaguya-sama vibes, just with shogi in place of trying to force the other to confess through various ridiculous means

Who is that girl?

I am pretty certain the heroine is not the one in pic

Yeah, this was inevitable. It's fine - not Takagi-san level IMO but a good series. And I think we will see another Takagi-san season soon enough.

Judging from pv they will voiced by Hosoya and Chika/Kukuri
