This blatant favoritism towards Arata. What the fuck? Also Chihayafuru thread.

Chihaya and the ugly nerd deserve each other, honestly Taichi can do better.

>arata's bday illustration looks better than his
Arata's background is just a filterd photograph. The quality of the actual art is about the same.
Can't argue with the rest though.

My boy Taichi will come around and fuck Arata's shit. Aratafags will be completely btfo in the end

Chihaya doesn't care about romance. She just wants to win.

The author hates Taichi because he is more popular than Arata

>Chihaya doesn't care about romance
I hate to admit it, but she's shown clear signs of being in love with Arata.

>Aratafags will be completely btfo in the end
How? Taichi isn't running for the Meijin title anymore, and Chihaya rejected him.

Did I spoil you? Sorry user, but yea. Arata beat Taichi, and Chihaya already rejected him. I don't really mind the rejection so much anymore since the moment Taichi pulled away from Chihaya and the club he completed evolved for the better. His coming of age story really is one of best things to come out of the series.

To be fair Taichi is a hardworking perfect prince type while Arata is an ugly megane nerd.

I hate when this happens, authors should get some level of maturity and understand not everyone is obliged to enjoy their waifu/husbando

>ugly
Neither of them are ugly. What's with the war? Arata and Taichi are bros, and his final match against Arata was the first time Taichi felt karuta was dear to him.

>>gets the best development in the series
Pretending to be a 2cool4school edgelord is not the best development.

Stop self-inserting your low self-esteem ass into it so hard, you'll enjoy the story (and a lot of other ones) a lot more

I disagree, the author shouldn't ever bend over backwards to fit fickle otaku tastes and just do the story they desire to do from the start.

>gets completed BTFO by arata by 18 whole cards
Taichi doesn't have what it takes. Go home and be a family man

>the author shouldn't ever bend over backwards to fit fickle otaku tastes and just do the story they desire to do from the start.
I agree. Taichifags are already lucky that Suetsugu decided to make him a main character instead of sticking to her original plan of keeping him a supporting one.

meanwhile Hak kissed Yona

This is why I dropped this series early on. I could tell that it would just be suffering for the good character and the universe bending over backwards for the author's pet characters.

>Taichi isn't running for the Meijin title anymore
I don't read the manga, but did he give up on trying again the next year?

No, Yona kissed Hak. A few chapters later he confessed. Honestly one of the best confession scenes in manga.

What chapter was that? when Hak and Yona kissed? I kind of stopped reading since the current arc is so boring.,

>Taichi
>good character
Except Arata is the best character.

OK now post the other one where the poll shows Chihaya x Arata over Chihaya x Taichi

This. Exhibit A: Hana yori Dango.

Arata is a boring gary stu.

>all those spoilers
mangafags ruining the fun as always

137. Man, it's been almost two years since it came out.

>but did he give up on trying again the next year?
No, but the manga obviously won't show the matches of the next year. Suetsugu confirmed on her twitter back in February that while the manga will most likely not be ending October, the climax will definitely happen that month. When a manga reaches it's climax, doesn't the ending usually come in the next few chapters that follow? Plus she said also revealed that the ending is very close. As it stands, the climax is just six chapters away.

Could show a timeskip where he becomes Meijin.

Arata has won his fair amount of popularity polls, and when an official couple poll was held by the magazine, Chihaya x Arata won.

Climax here probably means the meijin/queen matches in general, which are about to start, and those will last at least a couple volumes.

>Could show a timeskip where he becomes Meijin.
Don't see it happening. Something rabid Taichifags don't get is that the Meijin title isn't important to him the same way it is to Arata. Chihaya, Arata, and Shinobu all love karuta in a way that outsiders just don't understand. I never saw his journey as ending with that title.

>Climax here probably means the meijin/queen matches in general
You're probably right, but then why would we say that the ending is very close? Unless she's going to blow right through the matches.

Again, I don't read the manga, but I felt that in the anime, his development was heading that way.
He was starting to care about karuta more and more as the series went along, so I wouldn't find it farfetched that he'd be able to win the title in the future.

>He was starting to care about karuta more and more as the series went along
So did the other members of the Mizusawa club, but neither of them want the Meijin/Queen title. At the end of his match with Arata, the impression I got was what he truly wanted to be seen as Arata as a serious rival, and he got it. Taichi gave it his all, didn't cheat or play in a sneaky way, and got Arata to go into serious mode. I think what he always wanted was acknowledgement.

Will their match be animated in the 3rd season?
Seems really interesting.

>Will their match be animated in the 3rd season?
The 3rd season is probably going to follow the 25 episode pattern of the first two so no definitely not. Season 2 got up to chapter 92, and their match starts chapter 194.

We're never getting a 4th season ;_;

>but did he give up on trying again the next year?
bro its like super obvious that the upcoming matches for the meijin and queen title is what the manga has been building up towards especially the one for the queen match since this is the manga of chihaya. i forget if the anime added in this scene but the manga opens with the queen match. its like the first few pages and then we're taken back to when chihaya is a kid.

I get that, but my point was that there might be a timeskip showing what happens later.
