Cote: Chessboard
Yagami Souta—white-haired, blue-eyed, and born with a mind crafted for perfection—was never meant to live an ordinary life. Sold by his own father the moment he entered the world, he was raised within the sterile, merciless walls of the White Room, an experiment designed to forge the ultimate human. Devoid of warmth, stripped of love, and trained to see all people as mere tools, Souta spent his life seeking only one thing: entertainment. Real challenges. Real chaos. Real opponents.
And now, at the prestigious Advanced Nurturing High School—an academy where intelligence is currency and manipulation is an art—Souta finally finds a world worthy of his presence.
Calm yet cold, frighteningly intelligent, and possessing a distorted love for thrilling battles—whether through fists or strategy—Souta steps into a school filled with ambitious students, hidden agendas, and geniuses who believe they stand at the top.
They will learn the truth soon enough.
As alliances form, rivalries ignite, and beautiful yet dangerous girls begin gravitating toward his unfathomable presence, Souta discovers that this academy might just be the stage he's been waiting for—a place where romance, conflict, and high-level mind games intertwine into one grand, exhilarating spectacle.
But beneath every smile lies strategy.
Beneath every touch lies motive.
And on this chessboard, Souta intends to be both the player… and the one who flips the board.
