In this work, Non, whose acting evolution has been highly praised after appearing in several hit productions this year, passionately portrays her career's first “dark hero” role. Viewers have responded with comments like “NON-chan's image is completely flipped,” “It's beyond imagination,” “A new frontier for NON,” and “Seriously unbelievable.”

Following the strong start from Episode 1, a comment from NON has arrived.

■Full Comment from Lead Actress NON
I played the lead role of Asuka Kunimi . Playing a dark hero driven by revenge, set against the backdrop of shogi, was challenging yet incredibly interesting, and I thoroughly enjoyed the performance.

New challenges are always fun.
Hearing that so many people are watching this story, created together with the wonderful cast and staff, fills me with joy.

What I discovered while playing the role was: even if you know nothing about the world of shogi, it can be this fascinating.
Watching the clash on the shogi board is thrilling. Please enjoy seeing how Asuka's story unfolds until the very end.
