This blatant favoritism towards Arata. What the fuck? Also Chihayafuru thread.
>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.
Connor Turner
My boy Taichi will come around and fuck Arata's shit. Aratafags will be completely btfo in the end
Nicholas Scott
Chihaya doesn't care about romance. She just wants to win.
William Rogers
The author hates Taichi because he is more popular than Arata
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.
Landon Miller
To be fair Taichi is a hardworking perfect prince type while Arata is an ugly megane nerd.
Caleb Williams
I hate when this happens, authors should get some level of maturity and understand not everyone is obliged to enjoy their waifu/husbando
Mason Peterson
>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.
Jackson Brown
>>gets the best development in the series Pretending to be a 2cool4school edgelord is not the best development.
Jeremiah Davis
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
Nathan Parker
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.
Alexander Jackson
>gets completed BTFO by arata by 18 whole cards Taichi doesn't have what it takes. Go home and be a family man
Jaxson Davis
>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.
Sebastian Allen
meanwhile Hak kissed Yona
Levi Lopez
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.
Jaxson Murphy
>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?
Jackson Jones
No, Yona kissed Hak. A few chapters later he confessed. Honestly one of the best confession scenes in manga.
Daniel Cox
What chapter was that? when Hak and Yona kissed? I kind of stopped reading since the current arc is so boring.,
Xavier Harris
>Taichi >good character Except Arata is the best character.
Matthew Lewis
OK now post the other one where the poll shows Chihaya x Arata over Chihaya x Taichi
>all those spoilers mangafags ruining the fun as always
Dylan Gutierrez
137. Man, it's been almost two years since it came out.
Joshua Thomas
>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.
Nathan Jenkins
Could show a timeskip where he becomes Meijin.
Nolan Garcia
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.
Jason Collins
>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.
Eli Nelson
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.
Brandon Smith
>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.
Samuel Thomas
Will their match be animated in the 3rd season? Seems really interesting.
David Wilson
>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.
Evan Butler
We're never getting a 4th season ;_;
Anthony Rodriguez
>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.
Carter Bell
I get that, but my point was that there might be a timeskip showing what happens later.
