Arata. He and Chihaya have more chemistry whereas Taichi and Chihaya are more like friends.

i think volume 17 from the manga pretty much settles it.

Taichi x100. Sure he was immature as a kid, but that's due to the fact he didn't know how to express his feelings. Go Taichi! You're so good looking, smart and considerate!!

I don't like Taichi at all and Arata is my favorite character lol.

Also, Arata and Chihaya seem like a great couple when they're together. So I choose them.

I've seen enough drama/romance anime to know where this is going. It's sooooo obvious that Chihaya will end up with Taichi. I'd vote Arata though, I love how he develop their relationship progress since they're young, and I love long distant relationship too.

Taichi!!!! i just love his character development!!! and i hope he will win Chihaya's heart in the end!!! He's had a crush on her since the beginning that's why he was such a jerk with Arata...........little pest, lol. But he has been growing up so wonderfully, the manga is coming to a climax, so we will see.............

Taichi's voice is to die for... Miyano Mamoru's best performance. Beats all his other main characters by miles. So therefore Taichi all the way!

Hmmm...I'm only 15 eps in and to be honest I really like Chihaya x Arata but up until this point I'm at I've not really seen anything from Arata that suggests anything but a platonic relationship on his end. Chihaya is constantly seeing him in the clouds and stuff but he doesn't really seem to think about her the same way. He thinks about Karuta.

I may end up eating these words through the next 10 eps though, we'll see.

Also:

Friendzone Level = Taichi


EDIT: So after all 25 episodes I didn't feel that Arata really cared for Chihaya. He likes her and thinks she's pretty, but he's incapable of really doing anything about it so he doesn't. Maybe it would be a different story if he was in the same city she was. I feel like maybe he'd make a move then but aside from that he doesn't even call her. Chihaya is oblivious to Taichi and doesn't see him romantically. She may someday, but currently, it's platonic.

I don't really see any pairing here. I prefer Arata x Chihaya but it doesn't exist. Neither does Taichi x Chihaya. Something that shined in this anime was the boys relationship with each other. They both seem to understand how the other feels and respect that. That must be a Japanese thing because it sure as hell doesn't happen in America very often. :P

Bottom Line: If Arata ever moves to the same city as Chihaya it's over. If he never does then maybe she'll eventually notice Taichi. The End. XP

would go to Taichi as well!!

it's funny because i hated Taichi back in the childhood flashbacks since he pushed Chihaya like that.

but as the episodes keep going, i began to appreciate him more and more.

poor him though, the series will definitely pander towards Arata and Chihaya even though they haven't had any intimate interactions in the first season so far.

probably by season 2 T__T

either way Taichi all the way!!

you've made me a believer :)

In my perfect ending (which, alas, doesn't seem very likely at this point, but a girl can still dream), the couples would go something like:

Taichi x Chihaya,
Arata x Shinobu,
Desktomu x Kana,
Akihiro x Sumire

And I want poor Yusei to end up with someone too, but there's no one left...at first I thought, "Yumin!" Then I remembered she's 24 and he's still in high school. :s

but i still want Taichi with her.
But in most anime, it never ends to be the closest childhood friend that usually has the most affection.

And here is a thing i managed to find...

"this is a josei manga which the romance aspect is less, but if you consider the hint in the story
chihaya x arata is the most probable outcome.

There are 3 important hint that chihaya harbor a feeling towards Arata this factual and undeniable.


This is a Fact :

Chihaya and Arata Love is somehow similar to Orihime x hikoboshi situation (long distant Love)- Poem #17
As long chihaya x arata represent orohime and hikoboshi, taichi love is just a wishful thinking.

Another Fact Whose better in Karuta?:
Suoh- Talent
Taichi - Hard Work
Arata- Hard Work + Talent

They forgetting chihaya is the main character here, chihaya heart is rooting for Arata
that's undeniable fact. a fine girl like chihaya deserve a humble downtown boy like Arata."

This^ even though It's pretty obvious that chihaya likes arata but still I want chihaya to end up with taichi and arata with shinobu. I haven't seen the second season yet so there is still hope.

You know, now that the manga teased us about the Suou/Chihaya ship, I think they match better than Chihaya and the others. Chihaya/Suou FTW

i'd go with Taichi.. though i actually hated him in the first episodes of season 1 but i see him as more passionate when it comes to chihaya .. arata was only concerned about playing karuta so ill go with TaichxChihaya and ArataxShinobu.. :)

Taichii was a little douche when he was a kid, but he's a lot better now.

I'm kinda surprised at the poll results... expected Arata to be favored.

I voted for Taichii, because he's the one that's actually putting forth effort for her affection, while Arata is busy trying to be a secluded emo.

ARATA!!!! >.<
No! Actually, I just really love Arata.
Demo, from the looks of it, he doesnt feel anything for Chihaya, i mean in a romantic way.
I love Taichi too, but he's just toooo caring. I mean, always the good guy and all.

But Chihaya is looking for Arata (obviously), so ill go with Chihaya x Arata. :)

sad that Arata is losing on this poll :(
Arata ganbatte! I root for you because you're the one who has to say goodbye, the poor boy who only has Karuta (I love your accent in the anime!!). You are the bravest! after all that distance you managed to tell Chihaya how you felt, you inspired Chihaya, unlike Taichi who was just hurting and not doing anything (about his love) after all the time he was with Chihaya.
I hope you two end up together, it would be so adorable :3
To all who says Taichi loves her more, how can you compare if who loves who more!?
Arata was in Fukui while both Taichi and Chihaya are in tokyo -_- of course Taichi will have all the advantage.
And Arata was thinking that Taichi and Chihaya are already going out until he asked Taichi saying "Chihaya doesn't belong to either of them".............yet! Arata Ganbatte!

I think chihaya can end with either arata or taichi, obviously I would prefer her to end up with taichi, he is a good boy who is evolving in a very fine man, he is triying his hardest to overcome his flaws, he may not be the best in karuta but he damn well try,,, yes he is jelous of arata of course who wouldn't, arata has the attetion of the girl he loves, and he not even try. Personaly I see the affection that chihaya has towars Arata is as a friend but it seems as something else because he is away and obviosly she would think of the person who is far away rather of the person who is always there,,,"you don't know what you have until you have lost it". In the moment it seems that Taichi is getting far away, Chihaya turns her attetion to him, and not only that, in her way she is always seeing taichi.
I'm not saying that arata isn't an extraudinary person but I'd apreciate some fairness in this matter. Taichi deserves Chihaya.


I apologies for the far to large comment, but I just have so many feelings about this,,I would apreciete that someone would tell me is this is readable English is kind my second languege and is my first time writing something that is publish.
Thank you

I donttt knww,,really,.. always, in every moment... i was just like "Yeah, it must be taichi !" "omg nooo arata is definitely going to be the one.." "it's taichi." "no, its arata " -- :""" But IF i were Chihaya and Taichi doesnt confess his love, i will definitely choose arata. but when Taichi confess his love, maybe I wouldnt choose anyone. SO THREESOME XD

Still vote for Taichi, bcz he deserves her better. But i dont mind if it is arata, ( and i think it will be Arata anyway).. I hope Taichi got a bright future and a better girl even if chihaya end up with Arata. So both guys is okay, <3 anyone of you could come to me everytimee! #shutup~

Chihaya x Arata is the end game with the orihime and hikoboshi parallels also Arata is the most kind character in the whole series also he is a huge improvement over the usual typical rich ,handsome,smart shoujo manga MC(Taichi). Also Taichi is nothing but a jealous prick. He still doesn't consider Arata a friend. He is very possesive towards chihaya e.g. trying to kiss her after she indirectly rejects him or calling her his girlfriend while talking to Suou. Taichi is still a coward. One of the main reasons he joined the club was to win Chihaya and now that it's not happening he just decides to leave?? He still acts like a caword. Arata is never possessive of Chihaya and also gave her time to answer his confession. Arata considers Taichi a clsoe friend. Even though being far away from Chihaya their bond is show to be getting more strong with blooming romance.

An ideal outcome will be Taichi becoming Meijin by defeating Suou with Chihaya x Arata being the end game. Also Chihaya x Arata is the most popular pairing in Japan which ranked 1st in many official manga rankings. So mal rankings doesn't even matter ;)
