Now this is an exciting karuta match. Every time I see Shinobu fight, it takes the game to another level with her experience.

Shinobu is the best! She needs more love! She's the new "bride" for sou. It would be hilarious if she becomes interested in taichi and souh starts hating him again XD

LOL at taichi freaking out about getting beaten to a pulp by those two on TV

So many fun things in this chapter. Suo being jealous of Shinobu then making her his bride. Taichi being pissed that he is supposed to be beaten to a pulp for TV. The devious plan of Shinobu's grandmother to make Shinobu a pro karuta player. Her mother saying Shinobu is nothing but a karuta player

The 3rd years allowing Sumire and the first years to play for experience Tamaru's insecurities.

The Empress praying for Chihaya Sakurazawa praying for Inokuma to have a safe delivery The mothers praying for their children

The Fujisaki alums being unerved by rumors of Sakurazawa's marriage and retirement.

im having a fun time reading this until Shinobu mention about the tournament to Tachi, that make my heart hurt a little T^T if Taichi is really not coming back my only wish is for Chihaya to show us what she really is, im missing her personality..she's maturing and i also love it but need more Chihaya personality..

and im wondering if Tachi knows that Arata have Teams now? i wonder how will he react..

I love what is being spun right now with this TV program, two particular panels were huge for where this is going:

-Suoh saying the convenience and inventiveness of the quantitative measuring the TV program is using is "quite fitting for Taichi"

-Taichi saying he has a feeling this might be more meaningful than nationals, and Shinobu agreeing.

The hints at the scale of karuta's importance broadening are gaining traction rapidly. This TV program is going to have a huge impact on this, and for Taichi to be there with the Queen and the Meijin couldn't be a better opportunity.

Wow, these analyses are so cool. I don't know much about physics, but I wonder how possibly realistic they are?

Anyway, this was an awesome chapter. Yay for Chihaya's continued leadership. Feeling kinda bad for Nikuman's gf though... Step up! It's okay to be second sometimes! Compete for first!

Anyway, Taichi 0.1 seconds away from Suou in reaction time, omfg

I feel like Sou is trying to make Taichi to understand what Harada-sensei has been telling him.

Sou told him before about people who are called genius and that they are just the ones who make fire quick but then no one knows how long that fire will last and how strong it will be.

Now in this chapter, even though he was disappointed because he thought that the show was about him only for Shinobu to steal it - he said it's okay because it will make things easier to understand it's important especially for him (Taichi) and even told Taichi that he believe he is a genius but Shinobu is not and that she is just a hard worker

Taichi said that "Shinobu's are all Acquired, the peak she has reach through effort" so now he is starting to understand what Harada-sensie has been telling him, that just because someone has talent that doesn't mean you will never be able to beat them. Because even though Shinobu has no natural talent unlike Sou and Arata, she was able to be on the same place as Sou who is considered as a Genius because of her hard work and it came with a huge price because she spent almost her whole life in playing Karuta which made her isolated and friendless.

So that's why Taichi think that it's more important and is more meaningful than being in National tournament.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now I wonder if he will start to focus on working hard on Karuta?

Great chapter.

Poor Taichi. All of the characters will see him bullied by the meijin & queen on national TV LOL!

Suo is awesome as usual. He's a great meijin & comic relief in this manga.

I think Suo is trying to show Taichi that the meijin title is attainable. Suo's amazing hearing is the compensation of his poor eyesight & one day it might become a substitute for his eyes. Shinobu's amazing speed is the result of constant physical trainings. The TV show will show Taichi these facts & maybe he'll get more confidence and then he'll work harder on his karuta.

Who the heck is Sakurazawa-sensei's boyfriend??

if the rest of his team mates, especially Chihaya finds out about this, they'll be really envious of him. well Taichi would be embarrassed but it was advantageous for his part being able to play with the queen and the meiji.

indeed, he finds it meaningful because he gets to understand more on where he could improve and what he lacks in playing karuta.
taichi is really smart to go with Sou.

i love that gif in your signature, im envious.
