Hello all I'm really concern about this comic and anime. I don't know why but many people said that chihaya will end up with Taichi and it's really pissed me off if Chihaya will end up with Taichi. I want her to be with Arata . So can I ask to all of you if you see who will she end up with and who is your favourite character in here Arata or Taichi. If you haven't read it or watch it you must absolutely see it because my brothe who don't like shoujo/jousei when he watch this he become addicted LOL. Okay thanks for the reply

yeah yeah just a girl who like reading comic and play japanese otome game and don't like to study because it's annoying. well i really love comic all genre except mecha,yaoi,yuri and hentai no please gosh !

You really should put a poll to that with Arata or Taichi as choices.

Personally, I'm an Arata fangirl, but the way the manga is going, it really looks like it's gonna be Taichi. We can see Arata as the 'start of it all', but Chihaya never really gets to interact with him at all. He's just become a symbol.

As for Taichi, he's become that 'something that has been in front of you all along'. We can really see that in volume 3 chapter 11 (the chapter where they recruit Tsukue-kun) where he thinks during his match with Chihaya: "Chihaya, the one in front of you is me!"

All this time, while it's Arata who's been the firestarter, it's Taichi who's been walking alongside Chihaya all along, the one supporting her and helping her grow to become a better competitive karuta player.

So yeah, story-wise, it wouldn't make sense if Chihaya ends up with Arata when it's been Taichi who's had the spotlight all this time.

Both guys are likeable so it's really hard to choose. xD

Even though Taichi gets a lot more screentime, it always goes back to Arata. Even though Taichi has been much more proactive on his feelings for Chihaya, she's never exactly shown interest in them; all that she thinks about is Karuta (and playing against Arata/becoming the queen). Every time she's shown any moderate interest, it's always going back to Arata....she's always thinking of him.
Arata's doing his own thing in Fukui while Chihaya & Taichi are in Tokyo, so it makes sense that he doesn't have much screentime. Also, we know that Arata's family isn't that well off, so it makes sense that he hasn't moved to Tokyo (yet) since that would make it more of an economical struggle for his mother...which, knowing him, wouldn't want that.

Anyways, shipping outta the way, she's not thinking of establishing any sort of relationship with either of the guys nor has she shown any romantic interest in them as well.

For starters, I really doubt that this manga will ever show who she ends up with. I just don't think it's a romance at all. It is tagged as romance on this sites but This site tends to tag almost every series as romance regardless of it it has any romance or not.

However, if there does turn out to be a coupling at the end, it will be Arata, otherwise, there's no point to the story. She herself has also said many times that she plays this game in order to meet that person again. She also lights up like a Christmas tree when he sends a message to her. Her feelings may also just be her admiration of Arata as a player.

But also keep in mind that this girl is blind to everything that has nothing to do with this card game. She seems to have no interest in romance and they may be as far as this manga goes.

Poor Taichi though, you can tell he loves her and always has and he is bitter with jealousy of Arata.

According to the rules of fiction writing and shoujo manga in general, she will end up with Arata, But that's only if the Author has a coupling planned.

I honestly doubt that Chihaya will end up with anyone simply because she doesn't seem all that interested in romantic relationships. In my opinion, Chihayafuru isn't a romance. The only romance going on is Taichi's love for Chihaya and Chihaya's feelings for Artata (though it's unclear if she likes him or just admires him.) Arata isn't given enough screen-time so I'm not sure about where he stands on anything really.

If Chihaya doesn't end up with Arata, then I hope she doesn't end up with anyone.
Sorry Taichi. (lol)

Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi Taichi

I also agree that Chihaya should end up with Arata, but given the amount of coverage Arata gets this mangaka seems to be leaning towards Taichi. The latest chapters where Chihaya was in the hospital where she was calling Arata, seems like it's admiration and love. Karuta has always been the bridge between them and this has never stopped through the story, sorry Taichi, but you are nothing but a side character to her or a stepping stone she wants in front of her.

From the beginning I never liked Taichi, he was someone who had everything from looks to smarts and also had an arrogant attitude that made me want him to never succeed.

So yeah, if Chihaya doesn't end up with Arata, I hope she doesn't end up with anyone else too.

Taichi all the way! Team Taichi FTW!

Really, as long as she doesn't end up with Arata, everyone else is cool. Though, we all know that Chihaya's only true love is Karuta.

I really like Taichi.. but, will she love him?

The troubles of one-sided love, Taichi definitely loves Chihaya, but can see she him in another light?

And I can see good points in Arata and Taichi of being potential lovers for Chihaya, so it all comes up to what she considers as love.

I love Taichi, he is so cute!!

To everyone here who's picking Arata over Taichi, I want to ask just one question:

WHY would you choose him?

There's plenty of reasons why I would pick Taichi over Arata and I simply don't understand the fandom for Arata.

So Why would you choose him over Taichi??

I love Arata. I'll be cheering for Arata/Chihaya HOWEVER if the start of the manga is anything to go by and as things stand now, I would say that the end couple would be Chihaya and Taichi. Arata said it himself, that a dream is something you work hard for yourself. Right now, Arata is completely out of the picture and Taichi is the one who's working hard not only to win Chihaya's feelings but also to rise up in ranks in karuta. If the manga will stick to the values it preaches then the logical end would be Taichi as much as I want AxC to end up together. Hopefully Suetsugi-sensei will prove me wrong and will surprise me as the series develops!

It's not really about who I want to end together but who shouldn't.

Taichi focuses only on himself, and that annoys me. Sure he loves Chihaya, but he isn't following the Gentleman's Agreement (which he mentioned first in Fukui, btw). He's always trying to monopolize Chihaya when we don't even know if Chihaya likes Arata. Everytime she senses Arata, Taichi is always aggressively getting her attention. And you could say he's doing it for the team, but he cares less about the team than anyone. When Chihaya recruited Oe, Tsukomu, and Nishida, everytime Taichi is being passive about getting new members. He isn't a good leader. The only good point I see is he's good looking. But I don't even like his appearance because of his girly eyelashes. -Also I hope Taichi never ends up as Master. Just no.

Arata is...well I haven't seen enough of him. Honestly, Taichi has more screen time so it's most likely Taichi and Chihaya will end up together, but I really don't want that. I'm honestly annoyed every ArataxChihaya moment is ruined because they have to show somewhere a bitter Taichi.

I'm more concerned who Oe will end up with, lol.
