Awkward Takara Shinobu has always been rejected for being incompetent, a "dunce". No matter how hard he tries - with studies or with people - he always fails. And now he's stuck going to a back-up high school far from home. Due to a miscommunication, he winds up living in a share-house dedicated to training shougi pros. Introduced to the world of shougi, Shinobu has finally made a connection with people who understand and accept him. However...now he wants to go pro too!?
