looking at the raws of 152 and reading the summary I think a lot of TaichixChiha fans are going to be hella happy. While we Arata fans will keep on suffering.

Summary:
The funny bit is that to encourage Mima, Sudou and Amakasu enact the yaoish scene he tried to get them do for him a couple of chapters ago (with the word "blow" XD), they both turn completely red in the face, but when he sees it, he's so elated he commits a fault XD Tamaru and Tsukuba lose first (Tamaru, how could you lose to Oota again), Tsukue and Nikuman synch their cards for luck of the draw, trying to pull what they did along with Taichi last year, but this year luck isn't on their side: the card read is their opponents', poem 77.
The poster says the scoring is weird because 3 schools should be tied with 1 win, 2 losses, and the same number of individual wins, but West High is dropped for some reason and doesn't participate in the further breakdown... so it's between Mizusawa and Houmei, and since they're tied both in team and individual wins, the breakdown goes by the members' ranking order. For captains (Nishida and Sasa), they have the same number of wins, for vice-captains (Chihaya and Takei), also a tie, the same for 3rd seats (Tamaru and Mori), and the tiebreaker is 4th seats (if you remember, Tsukue won his match instead of helping the others win and blamed himself for it, but that win wasn't in vain!)
Once they qualify to go to Nationals, everybody (with the exception of 1st years obviously but including Hyoro) sends Taichi a text to inform him. Chihaya's text is "We can go to Nationals. The last card read was "se"" (and when Taichi sees it he thinks 'Could it be that I, too, am caught by fate...') Meanwhile Taichi is cleaning the Shiroyama karuta hall (he asked to let him at least do this much), at first he thinks it's Hyoro again and thinks 'I can't come, Hyoro. Not after I left the club in such a way, despite being its president. Right now, I'm better off being with Suou-san. I don't belong to the karuta club anymore', but when he reads the messages, he strikes a triumphant pose, and Suou sees it, of course. "Did something good happen?" "Ah, no, not really." Suou watches him closely and, being a freaking genius, there's no way he doesn't understand what Taichi feels... he probably knows it better than Taichi himself


Interesting Chiha mentions poem Se to Taichi. If I recall isn't that poem normally linked to arataxchiha? Very interesting she mentions it to Taichi. My ship is pretty much sunk I think at this point lol. I hope Arata at least becomes meijin cause I think it'll be TaichixChiha at the end.
