Here's some stuff I have from a few years ago, meant to be used as avatars:






I like the ones that have the karuta card in them.

Too tall for a single but I imagine I can cut it up for one of those fancy avatars when I get home. Thanks!

Chapters 198 and 199 are up!

The super hype matches continue, and Taichi's mom is a more sympathetic character than she initially seemed, just like every other character in this series.

Wow, I don't think I've ever seen such a lopsided poll. I belatedly realize I'm not part of the primary audience of the series.

I don't really care at all about Taichi and Arata at this point, I just want Chihaya to finally win. And also get more extremely good lap pillows.

Clearly, that poll is complete garbage. Kana-chan is love, Kana-chan is life.

I'm so glad that season 3 finally has a release date! My not reading a single chapter ahead in the manga after season 2 ended was entirely worth it. How many years has it been at this point?


:same:

Taichi is extremely good and I will not condone this violence against him :colbert:

I would be okay with Kana being #1 though.

About half-way through Chapter 93 is where Season 2 ended.

S2 ends after the Class A finals, IIRC. Class A finals start in manga chapter 89, so I'd start there.

The manga isn’t even finished so I doubt they’re trying to do that at all. They’re probably gonna go at the same clip they have been and just stop once they get close to the source material. If the manga is close to being finished, I wouldn’t be surprised if it does what the original run did, and do another season the year after the first and finish that way.

Treated myself to the Blu-Rays for Christmas, and I'm finally doing a re-watch. I'm up to episode 12, and I got so steamed when it looked like Chihaya's parents and the Empress didn't care about karuta!

You don't need to spoiler guesses!

Anyway this but Shinobu goes easy at first to put on a show for the cameras and Chihaya notices and gets really mad.

In the epilogue we see they pass the championship back and forth for the rest of their lives and have a weird t-shirt themed wedding

I picked up a couple details I missed the first time:

-Suou is actually introduced fairly early in the show during the flashback with Arata and his grandfather

-In the filler recap episode, the outfit Chihaya's sister wears while she talks about how Chihaya's clothes are hand-me-downs is worn by Chihaya several episodes later at the class party.
