Three moves ahead | Karma x Rio

Kunugigaoka High School's elite Class 1-A is known for its fierce competition, where only the best of the best thrive. Gakushuu Asano, the ever-composed and calculating class representative, reigns at the top, while Karma Akabane, the devilishly brilliant troublemaker, thrives on chaos and unpredictability. But when Rio Nakamura-a former 3-E student with a sharp tongue, a dazzling intellect, and a knack for stirring up trouble-joins their class, the delicate balance of power begins to shift.

Rio's arrival isn't just a disruption; it's a challenge. Her wit rivals Karma's, her grades threaten Gakushuu's dominance, and her playful banter leaves everyone guessing where her loyalties lie. As the three of them find themselves entangled in an ever-evolving rivalry, sparks fly-both in competition and in ways none of them expected.

In a world where ambition rules and every move counts, will this trio find themselves as allies, rivals, or something far more complicated? With tension simmering just beneath the surface and moments of unexpected closeness that leave hearts fluttering, this slow-burn story explores the fine line between competition and connection.

Let the games begin.
