Relationship Analysis

Yumi and Shukichi kissed just before a shogi match

Shukichi and Yumi met for the first time while she was still in college, on a train where he overslept and rest his head on Yumi's shoulder, waiting for the stop. But Yumi waited and missed her stop just to wake Shukichi up for his own. After this encounter, they met again and began dating ever since. But in the end they broke up because he was immature and gave her a letter containing a marriage registration, telling Yumi not to open it until he won all seven shogi titles. Stressed because she couldn't open the letter until he won them, Yumi decided to break up with him.

But, after some time, they met again in Chateau Beika Condo, where Shukichi currently lives.
