The protagonist, Susumu, is a remarkable player in a shogi school. Driven by his desire to defeat Ryuichi, he coincidentally ends up learning shogi from the spirit of shogi, Chatra.
In the world where Chatra lives, the pieces resemble animals, and when they enter the enemy's territory and "promote," a turtle transforms into a monster, and a lizard turns into a dragon, making it very dynamic.
Even the renowned teacher Taichi Nakamura makes an appearance, and the competition between Susumu and Ryuichi finally leads to the finals of the children's shogi tournament. Can Ayumu really defeat Ryuichi??

As you enjoy reading the manga, you’ll learn the basics of shogi, such as the types of pieces, how they move, and how to arrange them, as well as winning strategies, tactics, and effective ways to protect your king, making it the definitive introduction to children's shogi.

For those who want to "attack effectively," it thoroughly introduces the "Boh-gin strategy," "4-kyu flying rook strategy," and "Nakabisha strategy," as well as many valuable sayings to remember, such as "Avoid keeping your king in the center," "Horse's high jump is vulnerable to pawns," and "No bad moves in taking," making shogi even more enjoyable.
