When Will Ayumu Make His Move Anime
Let's talk about the anime. You know the one. The one where you keep yelling at the screen? Yep, When Will Ayumu Make His Move?
Seriously, when will he? It's the burning question on everyone's minds.
The Eternal Tease
This show is basically peak rom-com torture. We're all here for the sweet moments. We want the confession, the hand-holding, the kiss!
Must Read
But Ayumu Tanaka? He's playing the long game. Like, a really long game.
He's stuck in "I'll confess when I beat you at shogi" mode. It's a noble goal, I guess.
Shogi, Shmogi!
Okay, I get it. Shogi is important to them. It's their thing. But come on!
Is anyone else thinking shogi is just an elaborate excuse? He's clearly got it bad for Urushi Yaotome.

I mean, who wouldn't? She's adorable and hilarious. Plus, she's clearly into him too!
My Unpopular Opinion
Brace yourselves. Here comes the hot take. I'm going to say something controversial.
I think... I think Ayumu is deliberately stalling.
Hear me out! Maybe he's secretly enjoying the chase. Maybe he likes the dynamic they have.

Or maybe he's terrified of rejection. It happens to the best of us, even anime protagonists.
The 'beat her at shogi first' rule? It's a great way to avoid facing his fears. A very convenient one too.
The Sweet, Sweet Suffering
Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying the show. The comedic timing is great.
Urushi's reactions are priceless. Every episode is a little dose of wholesome goodness.
But the tension! It's almost unbearable! It's delicious, but unbearable.

Every episode ends and I'm like, "ARE WE THERE YET?!" My patience is wearing thin.
Predictions and Prayers
So, when will he finally confess? I have a theory. The last episode, perhaps?
Or maybe a movie? Oh god, don't let it be a movie. I can't wait that long!
My prediction: Something will force his hand. A rival character? A misunderstanding? A near-death experience?

Whatever it is, it's going to be epic. We can only hope.
Until then, we’re stuck watching Ayumu lose at shogi. Episode after episode.
But hey, at least we have each other. Misery loves company, right?
Please, Ayumu, just confess already! We're begging you! Our sanity depends on it!
Let's all hold hands and pray for a confession in the next season. Or the season after that. Or... well, you get the idea.
In the meantime, I'll be over here, screaming at my screen and waiting patiently (not really) for the next episode of When Will Ayumu Make His Move?
