Chihayafuru

Description

From J-SiS:

All her life, Chihaya's dream was to see her model sister become Japan's best... That is, until a quiet, unassuming transfer student named Arata tells her otherwise. A dream, he explains to her, is something she needs to work at herself.

Arata plays a competitive version of a traditional Japanese card game--known as Hyakunin Isshu--in a way Chihaya has never seen before. After taking Arata's place in a game, Chihaya discovers she has a passion for it. Now Chihaya wants to become number one in the world, the Queen of Karuta.

Chihayafuru won the 2nd Manga Taisho Award.

One of the BEST by myyinfatuation on January 3rd, 2010, 1:29am

This is one of my favourite mangas. No questions asked. I honestly have to say that this manga can be read by everyone. All the characters are likable ( even the model sister, she's got her narcistic moments but she's funny) and there is a plotline OMG I am so sick of just plain drama themed mangas, there has to be some substance. I can't wait for the next volume, seriously if this could be bought in English I would absolutely spEnd the money Rating: 9.9* / 10.0* Did you find this comment useful? Yes No

sooo CUTE!! by elalendi on October 23rd, 2009, 7:34pm

i'm so excited about this. i don't even know what that card game is but the art is so cute and gorgeous (esp. the grown-up her) and the pacing and story's all going the way I like it. The scenes where they throw the cards are so DRAMATIC AND INTENSE. I actually want to see a game in person now lol! Great manga! Did you find this comment useful? Yes No

WHERE HAS THIS MANGA BEEN ALL MY LIFE!!? by Suki_Chan_Kaggy on October 2nd, 2009, 9:56pm

Chihaya is the most loveable character known to man, I LOVE her. I find her Ah-borable, loyal, determined, sweet and most of all COURAGEOUS! She's the girl I wish I had been at her age, -sigh-. Arata, and even Taichi, are cute as well. Taichi seems mean in the beginning, but further in the second chapter its exposed that his parents are very strict and want him to be the best (which makes him strive to be better than everyone else by any costs, so he doesn't get yelled at or maybe beatened). I WANT MORE SCANS, pretty please! Rating: 10 / 10.0 Did you find this comment useful? Yes No ... Last updated on October 2nd, 2009, 9:56pm

Finally :) by der052 on September 13th, 2009, 12:37am

This is a good manga, nice pacing Since Hikaru no Go came out I've been more interested in manga's about games and this ones a great one. Its about kurata which is more easy to understand then shogi Rating: 10 / 10.0 Did you find this comment useful? Yes No
