Two Sentence Summary: After the events of the School Festival, Akechi goes to Leblanc to challenge Akira to chess. Akira exploits a newfound weakness of Akechi’s to win.

Their banter is SO GOOD. Akechi’s inner monologue combined with the banter makes it very interesting, like everything he says is calculated. That’s how he feels about it too, he explains that via chess metaphors like the nerd he is. The KISSING!!! So freaking sweet. The ending is ambiguous, not a wrapped up happy ending, but the possibility that something could change.
