Chihayafuru 3

Synopsis

Chihaya discusses with her new homeroom teacher on her future prospects as a high school teacher/club advisor. Taichi's mother discovered Taichi is no longer the number one in studies, but she is equally shocked when she hears Taichi has quit the karuta club. Worried about the state of Mizusawa Karuta Club, Miyauchi-sensei checks up on them and finds Sumire leading the club introductions, to her surprise. Tamaru, and three other students, have become new members. Chihaya finds it to play karuta, as she also sees the karuta only in black colour. She tells Fukasaku-sensei that she is the rock in the Kazewoitami poem, crushing Taichi's feelings. Fukasaku-sensei recommends she learn something, anything that can help her to grow. Taichi starts attending cram school, and he sees Suou at the venue (as a teacher). Meanwhile, Arata tries to recruit new members to create a karuta club at his high school. His juniors at Nagumo Society, Shun and Hiro Matsubayashi, are first to join, but they need two more members to become an official club. He manages to recruit three more, and with the help of Kuriyama-sensei, they are able to hold a joint practice session with Fujisaki Karuta Club. Arata learns from Sakurazawa that both Taichi and Chihaya have quit the Mizusawa Karuta Club. He sends them a photo of his karuta club, with a message to meet at Oumi Jinguu (for the high school championship).
