Miss King Episode 3

Asuka making progress

This is a well told fast paced story. Asuka is not a Mary Sue character. In spite of her complete creation of her father’s game at the tournament, she learns she is just an above average player. This makes sense if she hasn’t played in 20 years. Her tutor is interesting. He has as deep a grudge as she does but we still don’t know why. It is hinted that maybe his father might be the reason. Her brother is such an ass. I am not sure if he cares for his betrothed or not. Does he really want her life to be smoother or does he just want an easy way out of the shogi world and his overbearing mother? I did laugh when his fancy contract was eaten before his eyes.😂 Asuka has walked through learning the game and has gained the interest of the best woman player, but she gave me a surprise collapsing from PTSD with the rook piece playing her father’s words in her head. I will now have to wait a week to find out what happened with the interrupted match and to see if her new tutor can help her surpass this mental roadblock.
