Chihayafuru Sequel - Chihayafuru plus - kimi ga tame announced

it might not be based on chihaya's life in university, but more likely her child. the kid with the glasses looks like a combination of her and

three characters of this cover resemble some main characters. I highly doubt this will take place in university.

I guess we'll have to wait and see if it's going to take place right after the prequel or there's gonna be a timeskip.

also I just remembered that chihaya is trying to be a teacher. it would make sense if there was time skip.

I wonder if this will be another love triangle based but I hope that old characters appears every now and then in the series :)

@Potatoboy11 　As for Chihaya, I think there is a good chance he will appear in the sequel since he will be returning for his teaching internship to become a teacher.

As for the setting, since the main character is a boy newly entering his first year of high school, I'd say he'll start in April, right after volume 50 ends.

@kihel So, the new characters are not directly related to the original cast, just new students in the main characters' karuta club after they graduate?

@RobertBobert

Basically, I think the story will proceed with the new characters plus the characters who were 2nd and 1st year students as of the last volume of "Chihayafuru".

As for the new characters, it is currently unclear if they are related to the three old main characters.

I don't think there was any mention of the old three having younger siblings, so if they are related by blood, it would be at the level of cousins or relatives.

Well, the author seems to be quite concerned about reader popularity, so I think there is a possibility that the three old protagonists will appear at some stage in the story.

Many fans of this work in MAL are hoping that the children of the three old protagonists will make an appearance, but isn't that impossible in terms of the time setting of the sequel work?

Personally, I think that possibility is at the level of whether or not they will appear as a later story in this sequel.

@kihel I think the key question is how many years passed between the ending of the original manga and the beginning of this one. Perhaps the author is creating some kind of intrigue about the origin of new heroes, but this is pure speculation. Anyway, Fruits Basket and Kimi no Todoke already had related spin-offs, so that's what I'm going with.

@RobertBobert 　There is already official information about the time lapse between the original and the sequel! Why do all the people who write comments on MAL, who are supposed to like the work, think that years have passed? If they like the work, wouldn't they check the information properly?

The sequel takes place after Chihaya graduated, so it hasn't been many years. Chihaya and her friends graduated in March and the story begins in April, which is about 30 days after the original.Even if it does not start in April, the sequel's main character is written as a new first-year student, so the story will take place within a year of Chihaya's graduation.
