| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- ChihayaxArata was unexpectedly anticlimatic. I guess since they spent so much time building up expectations they figured they shouldn't overdo it? |
| Suddenly 5-0 stomp. Arata got surprisingly wrecked by Chihaya I have to say |
  |
| 5-0.... Wow. I agree about building up Arata more for the latest chapters but I think the match itself had quite a bit of emotions poured into it as well. |
 |
| The emotions are strong with this one, especially when there was a flashback to the childhood times. Also, this is probably the first time Chihaya beats Arata straight up - people on MAL might say that it is anticlimatic, but I think the emphasis was more on how strong Mizusawa as a team has become and how strong Chihaya can be when she is in the zone. Really looking forward to the next chapters to see how the interactions between Taichi and everyone else! (the club members, and more importantly Chihaya and Arata) |
| Taichi looked seriously handsome in that scene. Although Arata also looked very handsome with that serious face. I feel a little bit sorry for him... he wanted Chihaya to look at him but Chihaya didn't. It was a bit bad to only focused on "sound" and not pay attention to your opponent. |
 |
| If I were Arata I will get upset too. " Those who don't think about anything irrelevant are strong. The world where only the card and sound exist." Chihaya focused too much on the sound that she didn't even paid any attention to her opponent - which mean that opponent is irrelevant, not worth paying attention to. It's no wonder Arata was trying so hard for her to notice him. Sending those cards but in the end she still didn't noticed him... not until she saw Taichi. No wonder he looked so sad at the end. I guess it will be Arata's turn to have his own arc next. What Chihaya did was painful and an insult. Then it's like rubbing salt to the wound that they lose 5-0. This will be a very big turn of event for Arata What if Arata saw Taichi's name on her headband? Because Arata was looking at her while she was looking at her side before fixing her headband. |

finestseeker17 said: Yeah. Looks like she is ready for the Queen. LolNunnally03 said: It was a bit bad to only focused on "sound" and not pay attention to your opponent. Good point here. But, I think that's her ticket to the Queen's title. She's not the analytical/strategy type like Taichi and she's not an all around player like Arata. Her power is her hearing, her speed and probably her physicality (hand movement, posture, etc). So, I can see Chihaya's doing it again in her future matches. That is if Taichi (maybe Arata too, maybe) is not around watching her lol. But I think the difference was that unlike Chihaya who is too focused on her match.. Arata was more focused with Chihaya.. wanting her to notice him. |
|
| I need more development between taichi and chihaya!!!!! super happy that mizusawa won. shows how far chihaya has come because this current team is, I feel, an accurate representation of how chihaya has influenced so many others, and chihaya's strengths. as much as I miss taichi, I havw to admit this team is pretty boss, though second year was def best year |
| Holy fucking EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS CHAPTER The nostalgia. The flashbacks. The Arata vs Chihaya. The strength of Mizusawa. The strength of Chihaya. The observations of Taichi. My speculations of Taichihaya!! (sorry) It was so wonderful. This karuta had me on my toes, even though I'm sitting down. Anyway, I can't wait for future development! Some pretty interesting love triangle stuff going down behind the scenes (or pretty obviously, I guess) |
 |
| The outcome of the match was to be expected, given the more experienced players of Mizusawa, more character development with them over the more recently introduced Fujioka East club, whom I still struggle to remember all their names. Still surprising to see it was a landslide though, not even one win. Well, at least Chihaya won while wearing her own headband. But the best thing for me was the moment of Arata reminiscing playing Chihaya as kids, and vice versa. But goddammit, Arata...he better start kicking ass again soon! Especially after he persuaded Suou from retiring so he can face him for the Meijin title after one more year. Now I want a rematch with the individual matches, NAO!...with the next chapter apparently coming out next Tuesday in Japan. |
| Chihaya wasn't wearing her own headband.....she was wearing Taichi's.... |
 |
| i loved this story, i dont know why but after this, i want Chihaya to be independent woman XD i want to see her as a Queen and friend-zone both of them xD haha well lets put wishful thinking aside, Taichi seems to be winning in Chihaya, and its fine just make sure Arata have a good story line <3 |
 |
| She changed back to her own headband since Taichi's the impersonation of bad luck. |

| For salty fans |
| Huh, I didn't notice that. My bad, sorry! |
| Dangg. I guess what happens after the match is more important. From watching this match, it was evident how much Chihaya has grown... Looking forward to the single-player matches:)) |
| Aww this chapter reminde of how much i love Arata<333. He is awesome and i really love his karuta like you can feel how strong and confident is he. If only Suetsugu wloud give him more attention. |
| With what Suo said to Taichi. I think there is less chance for Taichi to become the Meijin now. As what Suo said,.. even though his parents raised him with the pressure of always having to become no.1 and the best, there are still lots of things that he have to thank them for. and with that I think Taichi will just focus on his studies and become a doctor as a gratitude for his parents. He may play Karuta still or play with Chihaya and rest and have a match with Arata but he will not become the Meijin. |
| *Yawn* Not gonna argue again with a stupid troll. |

| I wonder what was supposed to be Chihaya's next words in these pages... http://mangafox.me/manga/chihayafuru/v31/c163/21.html http://mangafox.me/manga/chihayafuru/v31/c163/22.html especially right after she saw Taichi and reminisced the day she was looking at Taichi at Arata's place when they were kids. |

| see you, space cowperson . . . |
| Awesome chapter I'm glad Taichi is finally back but I hope hope he feels super guilty for not being there to play with Mizusawa on the senpais' last year T^T They got only 3rd place because his leaving the club left them all in despair. He could've just stopped playing karuta after that year so they could still go for the last possible chance for a consecutive title all together. anyway surprised chihaya beat Arata, she's totally ready for the Queen |
| Didn't feel like Arata gave full power here. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Arata was't going all out against chihaya. His karuta is one of the strongest point of this manga. I don't want to see him getting emotionally rekt like taichi did just because of chihaya. |
 |
| semi bruh moment. |
   |
| Bruh Arata was like notice me bitch. But she notices Taichi first. She still bearing Taichi's headband. Really surprised there. Glad my boi, Taichi getting attention he deserves. |
| "When they're alive, you can enjoy watching them struggle. When they're dead, you can enjoy tearing out their guts. Tales are things you get to enjoy twice." |
| I certainly did not expect Chihaya to win against Arata (or even her whole team for that part), but glad she looked up and noticed taichi and even Arata before the end of the match |
