| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- What a great chapter! Taichi's true feelings are revealed, saying he loves everything about her except for the side that she shows Arata. The Karuta club also loses a member!? Dang, Chihaya's tears. :/ The kiss was kind of bittersweet in my opinion.. |
| This chapter was so depressing. We finally get a Taichi x Chihaya kiss but in the saddest way possible. I totally understand why Taichi has lost his ability to play karuta. Chihaya was the reason why he started in the first place. |
| Well fuck... |
 |
| I wasn't even sure if he kissed her since their lips didn't even touch. Maybe it was just a weird way of drawing it. I don't even know who Taichi should end up with. Chihaya is so dense that I don't think she could truly love anybody at this point. It's like her brain hasn't fully developed. I didn't like Sumire before, but her empathy and and compassion towards Taichi in his lowest of lows has really grown on me. Anyways, I love that Taichi is making peace with everything that is holding him back. He's undoubtedly the best character in the manga. You could actually easily argue that the story of Chihayafuru is about Taichi's struggles in growing as a person and with karuta. His development in the story trumps both Chihaya and Arata's combined. |

| I am crying. Chihaya you idiot. Chihaya and Taichi are meant to be. Before I was very frustrated with Taichi. Now I am with Chihaya. They're both my precious babies, I love them. They are breaking my heart. I hope Chihaya will realize her feelings for Taichi. That is all I want. I can hope. |
 |
| Oh man, wtf.... I hope they resolve this in a civil matter. |
 |
| I was so happy last chapter but then this happens. Remember as always being Taichi is suffering. Also Chihaya was so selfish as usual. That line "Do you think I'm made of stone?", that really got to me. |
| WHY! nooOOOO! I can't even write a meaningful comment right now. Does mangaka hates Taichi or something? I mean, one after another, bad things are keep happening to him. WHY!!!! I know he used to be kind of jerk but THAT WAS ONLY IN FIRST FEW CHAPTERS! Taichi made such a progress from that state and yet he is still taking the hits for no reasons! WHY!!! |
| taichi ;_;7 |
| I feel so bad for Taichi, it's not even debatable imo between Taichi and Arata, the one person that's always backed up Chihaya and helped her is Taichi. And this is on Chihaya's selfish whims and going against his personal wishes as well as what he could've accomplished aside from devoting himself to karuta. |
| Yep, things are just going downhill from here. |

| Taichi getting rejected was one the best parts of the manga. Seeing his face after Chihiya flat of rejected him was hilarious. Hopefully the taichi drama can get resolved soon we can see Arata building his own Karuta Club. |

| At first I kind of wanted an anime continuation but now I think that would only ruin the impact of this chapter. Good reading |
 |
| Since chapter 136 I was crying really really hard. Actually I always cry reading Chihayafuru because the character's are incredible, the art is magnificent and the plot is... Perfect. Seriously, this manga is just perfect. I root with all my soul for Taichi x Chihaya, since the very beginning. He was always there with her in everything (in the club, when they were kids, always, always, always). Always supporting her, always loving her... He is definitely the best character in this manga. Reading the confession on last chapter made me cry for like 10 minutes. I was so happy and yet so nervous but STILL so happy. Suetsugu-sensei-sama knows exactly how to express her character's feelings. I love everything they say and I love her art. I simply love her and her work. The cover of the new volume (that shows Taichi) is beautiful... I want to spend the rest of my life looking at it. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is: THIS MANGA IS SO FUCKING PERFECT. This chapter was heart breaking. Seeing Taichi leaving the club and Chihaya in despair because of it broke my heart. Their kiss was bittersweet... He pulled her like to show her how he's truly feeling - like "Hey, I fucking love you and you fucking rejected me, so I can't stay in the club with you" -, but at the same time his kiss was not even a real kiss. Their lips barely touched. It showed how much he loves her and cares for her (in my point of view, at least). Then he said "Do you think I'm made of stone?" and it was just perfect. Chihaya don't understand other's people feelings very well. She's a child inside. She only loves karuta, she wants everyone to be happy... She's super cute, but her inoccence makes her selfish. Or she's just selfish... I don't know. She can't understand that Taichi fucking LOVE her and that he can't stay by her side because it makes him sad as fuck. He was cheerful in the club, but it was obviously he was hiding all the sad shit he feels. I mean, being rejected is not EASY. Still, I loved how she screamed and said she didn't want him to leave the club. I LOVED this chapter. Okay, Taichi was kind of rejected (he didn't hear the answer clearly) and everything and it was sad as fuck and he left the club and it was also sad as fuck, but still... I think now Chihaya will start to REALLY think about him. She will try to understand him. She was trying lately, remember? "Why do you always go alone, Taichi?" She was trying, but she couldn't, then she just tried her best to make him happy - she's so cute, oh god. Now she'll FINALLY pay attention to him. She knows his feelings, and now that he kissed her she knows it FOR SURE. She knows and she can't deny it to herself anymore. There's no "What about Arata?" when he said "Let's spend our lives together". There's Arata, and there's Taichi and they are in love with her, and now she knows that Taichi ALSO loves her and she's out of her comfort zone. Now it's the time that she'll pay attention to Taichi, and now it's the time she'll pay the due attention to Arata's confession as well. It's finally time to Chihaya grow up. It's time to make a decision. It's her last year. She can't be immature now. She has to make a lot of decisions - and "Taichi or Arata" will be one of them, definitely. I root for Taichi x Chihaya all the way as I said, but I know Suetsugu-sensei-sama will make them happy no matter what - and it doesn't matter who they end up with -, so it makes me really, really, really happy. I know I will be in tears in the last chapter, and I know I will love this manga with all my heart for the rest of my life. ♥ Thank you, Suetsugu-sensei-sama. |

| Correction: Chihaya was thinking about Arata: not only that, she even interpreted his words when Arata said: "let's play karuta together" as as a marriage proposal "let's spend our lives together"it's so beautiful indeed that has so many sparkle around them that connect them together: it does makes perfect sense in ch 120 after seeing Chihaya's reaction towards Arata's confession: when she was looking at a dove saying if the dove was glow and happy because she having a baby in her tummy: that moment means a lot because deep down that's Chihaya's main desire is to build a "family" together with Arata: that glow represent her sunlight: a light that shines her world: and now that light is clouded by Taichi's frustration that only brought her depression and tears. |
| God dammit this was way too sad ;_; |
| I haven't even read the manga but this looks depressing as hell ;_; |
| I must be the only one who thinks Taichi is a complete jerk in the last few pages of this chapter. I'm glad he finally managed to tell her how he feels, and I understand that he's now feeling terrible that she rejected him, but how he's feeling is not Chihaya's fault. She didn't choose to fall in love with Arata instead of him, it just happened that way, and it's not fair to punish her for it. And it's not fair to blame her for not realising how he felt either, when he's taken great pains their whole lives to hide his feelings for her. Yet he's now acting like a child and actively trying to make her as miserable as he is. His timing in leaving the club is perfectly calculated to sabotage their recruiting drive, by upsetting Chihaya right before she's supposed to be giving her pitch to the new students. And that kiss, in my opinion, was revolting. He never kissed her before, when he wasn't sure of her feelings and thought there was a chance she might reciprocate. He only does it now, when he knows very well she doesn't feel that way about him and doesn't want to kiss him. He basically stole her first kiss just so she can't share it with Arata. It's a funny way to treat someone you supposedly love, punishing them because they don't happen to love you back in exactly the way you want. |
sweetangie said: the moment he was acting all desperate and forceful is something I don't support because he wasn't thinking about Chihaya when he went and did that: if he truly loves her, he should of thought about Chihaya's happiness before his own and all he did was acting all selfish and forceful to make Chihaya love him back ( things don't work out that way): the feelings of love always comes out naturally without any force measures ( everything that's force is all fake and dishonest). Yeah. Taichi's made it clear now that he doesn't respect Chihaya's feelings at all. All he cares about is his own feelings and trying to make her do and feel what he wants her to. Sumire is pretty much the complete opposite, accepting his feelings and trying to push him towards his own happiness, even if it doesn't include her. This whole idea that it's a man's job to make a woman love him is rubbish - love doesn't work like that. Chihaya knows very well who she loves, and if Taichi really wants to act like a man he needs to accept that he's been rejected and deal with it, instead of throwing tantrums and trying to destroy her happiness. My sympathy for Taichi has pretty much evaporated with this chapter. Now I'm just hoping Chihaya doesn't take too much damage from him. |

| If Taichi confessed before Arata, do you think that would make any difference? In my opinion, Taichi would have more chance, but Chihaya would still rejected him. Unlike many people I just can't think of them as lovers. |

Yeah... Like I said, I understand that he's feeling terrible, and it's fine that he wants to put some distance between himself and Chihaya for a while, but the way he's going about it seems calculated to hurt Chihaya as much as possible. And nothing excuses kissing her when he knows she doesn't want to be kissed. |

| ^ Like people say, "the truth hurts" and the evidence of the story speaks for itself. As for Taichi as a character I admit I don't pity him because his actions what speaks out rather if he deserves sympathy or not: the moment he was acting all desperate is something I don't support because he wasn't thinking about Chihaya when he went and did that: if he truly loves her, he should of thought about Chihaya's happiness before his own and all he did was acting all selfish and forceful to make Chihaya love him back ( things don't work out that way): I mean if someone belongs to you, no one nor anything can't take that away: the feelings of love always comes out naturally without any force measures ( everything that's force is all fake and dishonest). Taichi is already aware what's in Chihaya's heart ( he can't fool himself who's the person Chihaya loves: Arata) and despite that he doesn't care for her or her feelings at all: instead of being forceful and wants her to let go of her own feelings: he could of encourage Chihaya to open up her heart and tell her feelings towards the person she loves (just like what Sumire encouraged him to tell his feelings to her: but she didn't mention to make Chihaya love him back by force: his own actions is dragging himself down and because of that, he doesn't deserve any room for sympathy): he's no longer a child to be taught what's right and wrong. For now on, I'll keep my opinions about Taichi's rude behavior to myself. |
