Chihayafuru

Yup. She declared it on Twitter. The matches are starting next chapter though if the final page of this chapter tells us anything. The anime was suppose to air in this spring as well, remember? But they moved it to fall so it seems the anime wants to line up with the climax.

ffs I'm suddenly extremely pissed

Same, but at least it didn’t end this spring.

She just said the manga will probably have entered the climax, and in the manga world, the climax can last anywhere from a couple of weeks to several years. It doesn't mean it's ending so soon.

Really? The manga I’ve read, when they said entering climax, never lasted years. I could see a few months top cause these matches are what the manga has been leading up to.

What else do you except from a fanbase that actually thought Taichi would beat Arata despite it not making any sense narratively ?

It's crazy how much they overanalyze things. Thinking they found hints for their ship that aren't there.

>It's fun that the geek is winning, not the fashionable pretty rich boy.
I stil have no idea how the author got away with this.

The love Taichi had (has?) for Chihaya just seemed unhealthy. He was always pitying himself, and he would be sneaky at times. The indirect kiss on her birthday that was overshadowed when Arata texted her, telling Suo he was her boyfriend, telling Arata she belonged to him etc. When he left the club, he grew into a better person and I definitely think getting away from Chihaya played a part in that.

This.

I'm a massive Taichifag and I don't want him to end with Chihaya. The best thing he could do for himself is forget about her and karuta and move on with his life.

Aratachads it's time

Chihaya along with Arata will always be important him and Chihaya will always be his first love, but I think moving on from her is the best. I’m open to any ending, but I just never got the feeling that she loved him more than a close friend.

He can't move on when his boyfriend is a cardfag.

Taichi forces a kiss when it doesn't go his way, and Arata wants to earn the right to embrace her. Really shows how unhealthy Taichi's unrequited love for Chihaya is.

I like Suou, it's a pity he'll inevitably lose this match.

This exactly. His love is selfish.

well, the pretty rich boy is far from perfect in many ways, like being mean, jealous, or abandonning his friends

Taichi is going to win. He's the more popular boy nobody gives a shit about Arata.

Taichi is going to win Suo's heart

He’s the most popular character, but that still won’t help him. Didn’t help him win against Arata, didn’t prevent him from getting an ugly haircut, and didn’t stop him from being rejected by Chihaya. Cope harder.

Cope. Even in the latest chapter, Chihaya groups him with the club despite knowing him longer.

Isn't it basically already set that Taichi has zero chances of winning at this point?

Suetsugu responded with two hearts of her own. What could it possibly mean...

He never had a chance from the beginning desu.

To be fair, she was talking about the plushies included in the other picture included in the tweet, but this blatant Arata x Chihaya,

how are you guys still alive??? he got rejected and lost the chance at the mejin title

Yeah but she knew what she was doing when she matched the two hearts in the photo.

You're right. The synopsis on volume 1 cover clearly states this story is about Chihaya and Arata.

New databook supposedly pushes Chihaya x Arata as well with an interesting line.

Chihaya's feelings for Taichi are still unresolved. She will realize everything during the climax.

No, they aren’t. She rejected him already and even after they made up, there’s nothing on her side. No thinking of his confession, no moment where she realizes that she may feel something deeper for him. Absolutely nothing.

That's not a handshake. That's a handhold of mutual trust. Chihaya's hand is perched safely inside Arata's hand. This makes her hand look small and dainty. Arata's hand almost wraps around her's and it looks strong and protects her.

>New databook supposedly pushes Chihaya x Arata as well with an interesting line.
What's the line you're talking about?

Taichifags are going to stay delusional until the end. Even then they may still be delusional.

Karuta addiction. A story of their love. There’s another translation floating out there as well that goes “Karuta idiots and their mutual love”. It could be talking about all the pairings though, but’s it’s on the Arata x Chihaya page.

You mean Chihaya and Arata? The ones who were always main characters while Taichi was suppose to be a side one.

Are taichifags the ruifags of chihaya?

ok. i have a fair question. why do you think taichi will win? what makes you believe that cause i only see popularity as his only chance but he already got BTFO so i don’t think that matters. what panel makes you think he will win?

i was thinking the same thing in the domestic thread earlier.

>why do you think taichi will win?
The most common reason I see from Taichifags is that he was always by her side and he helped her out. Like Chihaya is supposed to fall in love with him just because he's always with her.

He only did that to get closer to her. He had intentions behind his “good” deeds. I honestly don’t understand how they think they have a chance after the two confessions. How Chihaya reacts to the two of them are worlds apart.

There's no reason for Chihaya to love Arata either. She only liked him for being a karuta god but she curbstomped him in a tourney.

Oh and databook revealed that Taichi hates surprise parties and that’s what Chihaya threw for him. All that time together, and she still doesn’t know the basics. Welp.

That might have been true at the beginning but by this point Taichi has gotten more development than Chihaya and Arata combined.

Chihaya is enamored with the image of Arata is has in her mind, and that image is tied completely to karuta. Meanwhile, Chihaya has a true bond with Taichi as a person. He's the one closest to her and the one she relies on the most.

Taichi leaving the club after his confession completely destroyed Chihaya emotionally.

Exactly. Karuta is her true love, but in terms of characters she can grow to love as a person there's no one but Taichi.

He literally changed her life with his passion. It was because of him that Chihaya found her own dream and stopped revolving around the dream of Chitose. A shared passion can bring two people together. Why do you think singers/artists/writers etc fall for each other? It’s a common interest, more important since it’s their life or a good portion of it. As long as they love Karuta, they will always love each other. I think it’s a message in the manga.

She has admiration for his karuta skills. I don't see how admiring him is something to be seen as negative. Seems perfectly normal to have admiration for the person you love.

What a journey.

Taichifags are delusional retards.

>but by this point Taichi has gotten more development than Chihaya and Arata combined.
Because his character has more to work with. It's that simple.

>Chihaya is enamored with the image of Arata is has in her mind
No, she isn't. If she were she would act like a fangirl instead of being regular Chihaya with him.

>that image is tied completely to karuta.
Nope, and you know what? Every relationship Chihaya has with others-with the exception of her family-has karuta tied into it. Even the one with Taichi cause she and Taichi only bonded on a deeper level as kids because Arata showed them the world of karuta. Arata needs to be in the picture whereas Chihaya and Arata bonded on a deeper level without him. The only reason they were able to spend so much time together was because of the karuta club. When Taichi comes back, it's during important matches. Karuta is at the center of everything so a relationship being founded on a shared passion is a bad thing how?

>Chihaya has a true bond with Taichi as a person
And with Arata as well. All three have a deep bond together and with each other.

>Taichi leaving the club after his confession completely destroyed Chihaya emotionally.
No shit. He literally the club cause she rejected him, which she was allowed to do.

>but in terms of characters she can grow to love as a person there's no one but Taichi.
Nah. That's just bias.

Taichifags are into NTR. That's why they like the cuck character who looks down with his hair covering his eyes when Chihaya is orgasming over a text message from Arata.

>taichi does the famous shoujo indirect kiss
>chihaya looks shocked
>text message from arata makes her tear up and declare its the best birthday ever
How can Taichifags ever hope to compete? Seriously. This is a KARUTA manga, wouldn't a relationship being heavily tied into karuta just work in it's favor?

I thought the Taichifag scanlators were too butthurt to continue the manga? I guess it's time for me to catch up again.

Only one person dropped it. TDX are still translating the series, but slowly. Current translations are by someone else.

>that one deluded taichifag goes quiet after getting btfo
the threads in october are going to be so much fun

I'm just savoring the denial from the Aratafags. I'm going to enjoy all your reactions when we get to the end.

What do you think she's going to ask? It better not be something corny like "will you go out with me? I now realize I love you." Chihaya suddenly realizing she loves another person would be so cliche.

She doesn't know. That's the thing, she still doesn't know how she truly sees him or what kind of relationship she has with him.

Only one in denial is you. Do tell how Chihaya x Taichi would happen this late in the game despite Chihaya never showing romantic feelings him even during his departure which would have been the moment for an epiphany to happen. Dying to hear this one.

She does know. You Taichifags just don't want to accept what's written in the manga. They've made up, they're on talking terms and there is still nothing on her side. She hasn't even thought of his confession once after the whole ordeal. Not even a bit of a hint of some feelings that pass platonic.

Animeonly here. Does Shinobu get some love interest?

You underestimate Suetsugu's genius. I trust her to write the perfect ending.

Nope, but you can ship her with Chihaya. They have the most official art together and Chihaya wants to save her.

Me too. Arata gets the title, Chihaya gets the title, and she responds positively to his confession through another match. She wants to become the strongest in the world and wants to have another match with him due to not remembering how she beat him the first time. A response through the cards would be fitting. They did start the journey through their fated meeting.

I meant to respond to this and you could be right. That doesn't seem to be a handshake. He wanted to huge her, but didn't feel worthy yet so he opted to hold her hand. He's so kind and respectful with Chihaya. How can the pretty boy who stole her first kiss even compete?

Don't be so mean, Chihaya and Arata may be autistic but they aren't mentally ill. Enjoying manga for women and little girls isn't an illness either.

People don't understand basic narrative structure. Arata is Chihaya's First Love, a romanticized ideal she chases after. Taichi is Chihaya's True Love, the one who truly understands and appreciates Chihaya. Chihaya's end game is casting off the illusion of her First Love and realizing that her True Love was by the side the whole time.

Before this thread dies, reminder that the third season is airing this fall and will be 2-cour. The manga is also entering it's climax the same month. October will be a good month to us Chihayafurufags.

Chihaya x Fatnobu

I agree. Nothing against Arata but him winning the meiji title AND Chihaya seems a bit excessive to me and is just bad writing. Taichi gets nothing this way. There's no balance.

Arata is her first, only, and true love. Die mad about it. The narrative structure is that as long as Chihaya loves the cards, she will love Arata. Which is literally written in the manga.

That's all fine and dandy, but Taichi still deserves Chihaya.

>Taichi gets nothing this way.
See, this is why I can't stand you guys. Taichi blossomed after his departure from the club, being away from Chihaya did him nothing but good. His journey was never about getting the title or Chihaya. It was about not running away/not being a coward. Which he achieves. When he confesses Chihaya-it's not just his love that he lays bare, he also admits the childhood deed that filled him with shame and guilt. A massive weight is lifted off his shoulders and Taichi learns after he returns to the club that Chihaya doesn't think less of him or hate him like his childhood self thought she would. When he goes up against Arata, he has a chance to take the upper hand through a handicap, but doesn't. He calls Kana to fix the garment of Arata. He's different from child!Taichi that would have gone the sneaky way. Taichi fights fair and square and gives it his all while results in Arata taking seriously as an opponent. Arata truly saw him on the tatami mat and that match was the first time Taichi ever felt the cards were dear to him. You Taichifags are so caught up in him getting a prize-whether it be Chihaya or the title despite neither making sense narratively-that you completely overlooked the beautiful coming-of-age story Suetsugu gave you.

>deserve
She's not an object.

No, bad writing is when you think you have to balance who wins what just so you don't piss off a portion of your fans.

>bad writing is when you think you have to balance who wins what just so you don't piss off a portion of your fans.
Exactly. Chihaya returning his feelings don't make sense. I know Taichifags don't like to hear it, but it's the truth. The only time that Chihaya has acted like a girl in love has been with Arata.

doesn't*

They have surprisingly good chemistry together.

They act like siblings to me.

>their relationship is 99.9% karuta
>good chemistry
Uh huh. So it's fine for that ship to be karuta-focused, but not Arata x Chihaya. Color me surprised.

>Taichi fights fair and square and gives it his all while results in Arata taking seriously as an opponent.
That was such a bullshit fight. Taichi trained with suou for christ's sake and he lost against arata with a 19 cards difference. I don't remember the exact number but it was two digits. Tachi got strong. Fine not as strong as Arata maybe but the card difference should've been 1-5 at most. Another plus to bad writing. It felt his training with suou was for NOTHING.

>The only time that Chihaya has acted like a girl in love has been with Arata

That's precisely why Chihaya won't end up with Arata. Her affections for him are that of an infatuated school girl. In other words, they're shallow. Her bond with Taichi is built from years of shared experiences with him when Arata was only a voice on the phone.

I'm not the Taichifag. Arata x Chihaya is pretty set in stone at this point.

I mean, I ship AraChi but AraShi go way back to their toddler days. They're just too cute together.

18 card difference actually and I still don't understand the problem with the results. Suou is Suou, Taichi is Taichi. He's good at karuta, but Arata is a prodigy who lives for it. One has years of love and dedication passion for the cards, the other just started to think of them as dear.

Nope. Chihaya beat Arata so you can't even turn to the "infatuated schoolgirl that's on cloud nine cause the karuta god loves her" bullshit. They aren't shallow at all. If anything, Suetsugu continuously shows us how strong their bond is despite not being able to see each other that much. I honestly don't understand how you think Taichi has a chance when we have shit like Chihaya offering his kiss as a fucking prize.

I'm not saying that Chihaya's infatuation with Arata is purely due to his skill. She's infatuated with him because he gave her her passion, so Arata and karuta are inextricably tied together for her. Her development will reach its climax when she figures out Arata's meaning to her as a karuta player, not as a potential lover.

And how is that a bad thing in a Karuta manga? Seriously. Arata being heavily tied to the cards just works in his favor. Karuta is at the center of everything in this manga. No relationship Chihaya has is void of the cards, except the ones she shares with her family and even that’s not entirely true by how Suetsugu is playing out the Chihaya and Chitose relationship.

It's not a bad thing. Karuta is a part of Chihaya and Taichi's bond as well. The difference is while Arata was the one who helped give Chihaya a dream, Taichi was the one who helped her on the steps to achieving that dream. Arata might have been part of her motivation, but Taichi was the one who was toiling at it by her side every step of the way. Her karuta relationship with Taichi is one of building and achieving, while her karuta relationship with Arata is one of yearning. The former is more tenable as a basis for a long term romantic relationship than the latter.

>Her bond with Taichi is built from years of shared experiences
So what? That doesn't mean she has to love him back, and clearly she only loves him platonically. We've only had romantic thoughts from Chihaya towards Arata.

>Taichi was the one who helped her on the steps to achieving that dream
And Arata didn't by encouraging her with words certain times? Kana didn't, Shinobu didn't, the rest of the club members didn't, her family, especially her mom, didn't in their way? Many people helped Chihaya arrive where she currently is, and we even have her recalling some of those people that have helped her on her journey, but it was Arata and solely Arata that completely changed her world and helped her find her dream. That's the difference here.

>but Taichi was the one who was toiling at it by her side every step of the way.
Nice job forgetting the rest of the Mizusawa club.

>Her karuta relationship with Taichi is one of building and achieving, while her karuta relationship with Arata is one of yearning. The former is more tenable as a basis for a long term romantic relationship than the latter.
Nope. That's just bias talking. Sure her and taichi built a club together, but let's not act as if the shared dream of achieving the titles between Chihaya and Arata means nothing. I fail to see how a relationship heavily tied by karuta in a KARUTA manga is suppose to be a negative thing or a relationship that is less than. Can Taichi really spend his life alongside who lives for karuta? Have you ever asked yourself that one?

>Her development will reach its climax when she figures out Arata's meaning to her as a karuta player, not as a potential lover.
Chihaya has stated she has no right to sit across the person she likes until she becomes strong in karuta. Excluding the karuta matches, the climax would be more about her finally thinking she's strong enough to finally give her answer to Arata, and contrary to what you said, is about them becoming lovers.

I hope Taichifags commit suicide this spring.

I'm convinced that Taichifags don't even read the manga, and if they do then it's a case of selective reading with them.

Losers never fuck off. They shit up threads cause if they're not having fun then no one else can. I fully expect it when Arata x Chihaya officially and finally happen.

On the contrary, Taichi is the biggest draw of the manga. The best arcs were all the Taichi focused ones. Taichi gets the most and best development. He was completely robbed in the meijin challenger match.

So it's selective reading then? Figured.

>He was completely robbed in the meijin challenger match.
Nah. You Taichifags are just bunch of whiny babies that want their favorite to be rewarded cause MUH SUFFERING and MUH POPULARITY and MUH BALANCE when getting the title narratively makes no sense for his character.

It makes sense for his character to win when he worked so hard and went through so much growth for it. Comparatively Arata was handed everything on a silver platter.

The readers will get what they want.

The meijin challenger match felt like the true climax. The focus on Chihaya currently has been somewhat haphazard, especially her sister's character thread being introduced out of nowhere.

Fun fact. The favorite poem of Suetsugu in all of the 100 poems happens to be the one recalled after Arata confesses to Chihaya.

>Q: In the manga, in conjunction with the feelings and situations that the characters face, you turn the spotlight on poems that deal with a whole range of emotions, including (romantic) love. May I ask, which of the 100 poems is your favourite?
>My favourite in terms of meaning is “When compared to / the feelings in my heart / after we’d met and loved, / I realize that in the past / I had no cares at all” (Poem 43). Having been ignorant, once you know of it, you feel like all the cells in your body have been reborn. I think that everyone will undergo that experience several times in their lives, but there are few poems that express this feeling in words.

>It makes sense for his character to win when he worked so hard and went through so much growth for it. Comparatively Arata was handed everything on a silver platter.
Arata didn't work hard? Arata didn't and still doesn't dedicate his all to the cards? Which manga are you even reading? Arata has been working hard for the Meijin title since childhood while Taichi was working and learning to love the game. You cannot compare the relationships they have with the cards since they're worlds apart. His development didn't focus solely around getting the title, but your one track mind completely missed that.

>The readers will get what they want.

Don't forget this one. I think it applies pretty well to Arata waiting for Chihaya's answer.

>‘A love that cannot be undone’ is also the theme of a number of the Ogura 100 poems, isn’t it? What is your favourite poem? And why?

>Suetsugu: “Ogurayama / Mine no momijiba / Kokoro araba / Ima hitotabi no / Miyuki matanan” (#26 => Mostow: O autumn leaves / on the peak of Ogura Hill, / if you have a heart, / I would that you would wait / for one more royal progress.) That notion of calling out to the fall leaves, asking them to wait if they have a heart, is rather romantic. I also like how the sounds bounce off each other.

>Pathetic that you want her to go for what readers supposedly what instead of writing the story she wants to write.
Taichi may have won the poll in chapter 200 but all that matters regarding who wins the Chihayabowl is the couple poll and Chihaya x Arata won that anyways.

Can we talk about karuta instead?

Very nice catch.

>but all that matters regarding who wins the Chihayabowl is the couple poll and Chihaya x Arata won that anyways.
Of course they did. They have the fated lovers theme. Taichi's unrequited love was already a thing that got focus, and they still won. Very telling.

Yes. It's also the thread where we laugh at delusional Aratafags.

What? The movies didn't have any romantic conclusion.

On reading the thread, it can concluded that if Taichi does win in the end, it would be because the mangaka was forced by her editors.

So what if he ships it? He's allowed to. You're acting as if the trilogy has Chihaya end up with Taichi which it doesn't. What the trilogy does is have Taichi go for the Meijin title instead of Arata and that didn't happen in the canon source material. Literally grasping at straws.

The only thing some(stressing on some as not all of them are rabid fangirls) bring up is that he's the most popular therefore he should win. As there's nothing in the narrative that supports them.

Didn't people vote multiple times on that poll?

Yup. People were able to vote once a day. I think that Taichi would have come first regardless, but that the numbers would have been lower.

>the mangaka should shit on her story to please a group of fans
That's Taichi fangirl's logic.

>Suetsugu let that happen
let what happen? chihaya doesn't get with any boy in the the live action. did you even watch it?

>IIRC the live action director ships Chihaya and Taichi and Suetsugu let that happen. It's still possible that she ends with Taichi.
He's just another person just like the rest of us when it comes to who you ship. I didn't notice any scenes that suggested Chihaya preferred Taichi romantically. There were however plenty of scenes for Arata x Chihaya. So if there were more scenes with Chihaya and Arata in a romantic context, when the director prefers Taichi x Chihaya, then I can't help but feel Suetsugu let that happen.

Best selling shoujo ever. Also, together with Itazura na Kiss, the model that shoujo/josei follow until this day

Don't underestimate retarded Fangirls.

Wasn't the final pairing forced by the editors because of its popularity?

Yes. Why do you think the Taichifag mentioned it?

I question how accurate it is. I'm not saying Taichi would have necessarily lost either but looking at Suetsugu's twitter when she tweeted for their birthdays, Arata got 5.3K likes while Taichi only got 3.2K likes.

I've always wanted to give it a shot due to its popularity and reputation but knowing that the ending was forced by the editors kills my interest.

Does anyone have sales figures after taichi lost the focus in the story? I think it must have went down quite a bit.

>Aratafags go quiet
Looks like they finally realized Taichi end is inevitable.

>I question how accurate it is. I'm not saying Taichi would have necessarily lost either but looking at Suetsugu's twitter when she tweeted for their birthdays, Arata got 5.3K likes while Taichi only got 3.2K likes.
