A little more time devoted to the final battles would have been better.
The plot effortlessly switches from serious topics to those without them light weigh, how wonderful narration!
Touching embrace between Harada sensei and Hiroshi-kun in the final! T_T
A good episode, that breathless laugh even to the personal sphere of the protagonists, Taichi finally admits to being cooked Chiaya. Hilarious entr'actes Chihaya and the other guys on the team, even when Chihaya calling Arata on the phone! XD
Very beautiful BGM. Almost wing end is you feel the need for a second season, not to hasten events! * _ *
Yumin makes the final for the queen! : D
Poor Arata must train with a kid, the mistakes you pay!

I really liked this episode. And the connection between them and Orihime and Hikoboshi made me smile a lot. (✿◠‿◠)

So Taichi is hopelessly in love with Chihaya. Well go confess Taichi before it's too late.


LOL, Taichi like a boss blocked the long haired guy's number, so no more calling Chihaya.

Chihaya dressed up was so kawaii. I guess having a model sister isn't so bad, saves buying expensive dresses and other clothes.

So now all of a sudden Taichi is in love with Chihaya? I mean, duh, that’s easy to tell, this is a love triangle if I’ve ever seen one, but up to this point he hasn’t even expressed romantic feelings of any sort for her. Unless I missed something…This was waaaaay too overt for me. Could have been written better.
And I must admit I'm cheering for Arata in this anime. Yeah the writer really must not like Taichi because he gets done dirty, but still...Arata and Chihaya all the way!

My heart skipped a beat when Taichi said he was hopelessly in love, and I want the name of those two poems Kana-chan was talking about.



Chihaya is such a dork :D Why you hung up so soon?


PS: Taichi&Fangirls party, next Christmas I'm also going.


I don't think I've ever fought for the best friend ship before in a shoujo. Is it because he's pretty? Or maybe because he's fighting so hard but Chihaya is a ditz. It sort of seems like Arata is gonna win, well he probably will... but ugh... there's a second season. I can still hope.

Smart that now the boards been reset, Arata losing those 18 months can give Taichi a chance... though if Taichi does become Master in the second season, would that still mean he wins Chihaya? Or since that family member/person (Chihaya) wants the most is Arata would that be mean? Oh gods, what if she calls him mean if he really did win, and then he... he... oh gods... brain. No.

this anime keeps on reversing expectations. I didn't think Chihaya would lose so when she lost I was like okay so Arata surely qualifies for the challenger title but no he also loses. Super interesting how this is handled. Loved this episode.

Chihaya's hair has been just saved! :D Doctor was amazing, haha.

Party in Nagumo, among all that were showed, was the best if you ask me.

Somehow I feel as if Taichi was slightly drifting towards emotional cuckold. :o

Nice. They went and had fun at their classes respective parties. Seeing Taichi admit his love for Chihaya was cool, though we already knew he was in love with her lol

Lately I haven't really been too fond of Chihaya, but seeing as how Yumi became the next challenger for the queen and didn't lose out makes me rethink her level of skill. The match was pretty close after all.

Welp, here is another episode of "Chihaya's shit behavior being excused". She throws another temper tantrum, doesn't bother to congratulate Yumi and refuses to speak to her supportive friends. I'm glad that the coach called her out,but we never saw her actually congratulate Yumi,which kinda seems like a cop-out from the author to actually brand this behavior as inexcusable. The more I see of this the stronger my thought becomes of this being some self insert from the author especially with the track record of josei media being very idealistic and not realistic that often.

Glad too see that Arata has admitted that he was wrong and it was selfish for him to leave his local club and team behind because his grandad died. I'm not saying that he can't mourn for him,but disappearing for 18 months without a word is a dickmove.

Seems like they are really ramping up the romance in the show which was to be expected,but I'm hoping that it won't further derail the story like it already has.

Glad that Kana understands what's happening with Taichi's feelings for Chihaya when everyone else is clueless lol

Ah, man, I really want Taichi x Chihaya to happen... he's really redeemed himself in my eyes after being such a jerk in grade school. But that was in grade school. He's such a different person now. He seems far more mature and he truly loves Chihaya. But so far it seems headed towards Arata x Chihaya...

Ya know, I was really rooting for Arata and chi but arata's lack of responsiveness and consistent absence at this point bothers me.
Now I'm rooting for taichi. Couldn't stand him in the beginning like really but to my massive surprise he's grown on me. Even likable.
He's never left Chi's side. He literally cannot be anywhere without her and i really like that.
She's obsessed with a ghost it's sad.

That entire call between Chihaya and Arata made me smile so hard but at the same time I can't help feeling worse and worse for Taichi. Kinda speaks for how far he's come from his bratty kid self.

Chihaya lost by 4 cards to Yamamoto. She was in shock and did not thank her opponent. Dr. Harada reminded her to always thank her opponent no matter how upset she is. Arata lost in the 4th round and regrets spending time away from kurata. Both Chihaya and Arata are taking the next step forward in their quest to be the best kurata player in the country.
