Shogi Stories

Genre Blending - What This Story Is (and Isn't): ✅ School life turning into Japanese clan warfare ✅ A naturally evolving romance ✅ Shogi, mind games, and layered mysteries ✅ Characters with compelling backstories ❌ NOT a LitRPG or System novel (No status screens) ❌ NOT an Isekai (Set in a grounded modern world with ancient clans) --- Synopsis: For Itsuki Takeda, a laid-back martial prodigy and the heir to a historic warrior clan, boredom is his only real enemy. He wants nothing more than peaceful days, good food, and quiet games of Shogi. That peace shatters with the arrival of Reina Kurokawa-an unnervingly young, razor-sharp new school principal with superhuman reflexes-and Akari Tsukino, a bubbly transfer student who plays Shogi like a warlord and moves through the night like a shadow. When ancient rivalries ignite and the Regional Tournament approaches, Itsuki is pulled into a web of lethal conspiracies. But when his family sanctuary is attacked and blood is drawn, the game turns deadly. Forced to confront an implacable shadow power, can the Takeda heir protect his friends before their world burns? 📖 Release Schedule: New chapters every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. 🌐Official Cross-Platform Notice: This story is an original work written by me (Giyū Iwahayashi) and is officially published on Royal Road, Scribble Hub, and Wattpad.
