Checkmate no Ouji-sama: The King of the 64 Squares

A king by accident. A genius by game. A harem by... unfortunate timing.



Yuuji Serizawa was just a quiet high school chess nerd-until a cosmic checkmate summoned him to a magical world where magic is cast through chess moves, and every duel is a deadly game.



Thrown into the elite "Academy of the 64 Houses," he's suddenly the only person who understands the system's full potential. His strategies? Unpredictable. His attitude? Cool under pressure. His problem? Every magical piece on the board is a beautiful girl with powers-and personalities-that are way harder to handle than any grandmaster.



From explosive pawn battles to seductive queen gambits, Yuuji's about to learn that in this world...



One wrong move doesn't just lose the game-it might cost him his clothes, pride, or worse... his dignity.



Checkmate or be checkmated. The game begins.
