■"MISS KING" Story
Born to a genius shogi player father, Asuka (NON).
She spent a happy childhood with her mother and father,
but one day, her father abandoned them both and left.
Asuka lived in poverty with her mother, but eventually her mother also passed away from illness, leaving Asuka utterly alone.
Meanwhile, the father who abandoned Asuka achieved success in the shogi world and basked in the spotlight.
Seeing him sparked murderous intent in Asuka, who attempted revenge. Yet, in that very moment, she unexpectedly displayed shogi talent.
Recognizing Asuka's talent, former shogi player [Tōdō (Naoto Fujiki)]—who shared a bitter past with Asuka's father—proposed a plan: “Let's seek revenge through shogi.”
As part of this scheme, under Tōdō's guidance, Asuka aimed to become “the first female shogi professional in history.”
This is the story of a woman imprisoned by hatred who reclaims her life through shogi.
