So even a random-ass library girl who never played before is better than Tanaka?
I can already see the ending: he never beats her, so he never confesses, they finish school and never meet again. Well, that obviously won't happen. But it should.
Obviously there's nothing remotely gay going on here. It's just two girls who already basically have boyfriends playing shogi and being cute.
Nothing to even hint at a yuri mood. No reason to turn the goggles on.
Considering what happened in chapter 52, I am surprised that Urushi didn't ask Sakurako about her relationship with Takeru. Seems like a missed opportunity to me.
