My favorite part is what Taichi said to Hiro. Do not regret saying that Taichi, it was great.

Its kinda sad seeing Retro realise he lost to that one guy because he isn't good enough and also Chihaya kinda wasted her own school trip by worrying about the Queen qualifiers. From what we've seen so far of Suo he seems like an intersting character with some nice sweets as gifts.

Come on, Taichi, destroy these qualifiers!

Wow, Suo is really weird. Why are the current karuta champions so weird (but Shinobu's cute lol)

That was a great talk from Taichi to Hyoro. Nice job there, Sumire. Now, destroy everyone in your way, Taichi!

Sumire is really growing up to be a good character and even Taichi has noticed how much she cares and roots for him & today she showed it. Might be a good pair for sure
I would like to think in the same way, because I know Chihaya is in love with Arata.
But Sumire still being a plastic girl on my mind or maybe mostly it's because to me they don't suit at all for each other.
Nevertheless, this ep I had a better impression of her than before.


yeah but like the problem with all of these ships is that chihaya got obsessed with karuta to, in a way, get closer to arata who was obsessed with it, and then taichi got obsessed with karuta to get closer to chihaya and now sumire is doing the same thing to get closer to taichi. It would just be a chain of suffering if it wasn't for arata cleary reciprocating chihaya's feelings. But if taichi would just forget about chihaya for one second and look at sumire i wouldn't be mad.

Bad writing. Chihaya is a girl obsessed with karuta. She lives for karuta, eats for karuta, shits for karuta and does basically everything for karuta. HOW can she let such an important match slide away? Bad. The author found herself in a narrative corner here. I've watched the later episodes and she attempts to bring back some characters who had lost in the earlier seasons to Chihaya. And if chihaya would come in the match then either she or those characters would lose. If those characters would lose AGAIN (Maybe for the 3rd or 4th time) then it would make this anime vastly unrealistic and if chihaya looses then, these it would take her forever to challenge the queen again. I can see why the author would write like this but, I felt that this problem could have been dealt in a much MUCH better way. Meh animation too

Dr. Harada's swinging making taxis stop at the start LOL

Considering her motives, that was really cool of Hanano. I doubt that'll really be enough to stop Taichi's mom tho

Chihaya goes on the class trip to Kyoto while Taichi has a fever and miss the trip. But Nishida finds out that Taichi is registered to play in the Master qualifiers.

Took a break from this show for a while, but I came back on an amazing episode. I found the tension between the 3 main characters relatable, believable, and quite engaging. All the competing motivations swirling around everyone made for a heady emotional cocktail!

I still think Chihayafuru struggles mightily with introducing its opponent characters, though. Suo is just fake, and I had some trouble believing the way he was written. I have very little faith that Taichi's opponent will be any better-written.

I feel bad for Retro. "What if I'm not good at this game that I love so much?" 🥺

Props to Sumire for standing up to Taichi's mom. That wasn't an eaay feat at all.
