This is such a romance forward episode, and I'm all here for it. The relationship between Arata, Chihaya and Taichi seemed to get even more complicated after this, especially after what was said in this episode. All in all a great closure with a hook for the next season in place!

As their second year of high school rolls around, Chihaya and her fellow teammates must recruit new members, train their minds and bodies alike, and battle the formidable opponents that stand in their way to the championship title. Meanwhile, Chihaya's childhood friend, Arata Wataya, the prodigy who introduced her to karuta, rediscovers his lost love for the old card game. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Quick Takes
View all 50 takesThe match that everyone has their eyes on, Shinobu vs Arata. This was tense, and visualization was so pretty, as Arata seemed to always associated with water. We get to see what made Arata the way he is from his grandpa's words, and Shinobu finally plays seriously. Great episode!
We continued from before, seeing Taichi's match in the final. This episode showed that despite how bullheaded Chihaya is, she still cares of people around her, and she's a woman of her word. This was a sweet moment between Chihaya and Taichi. I am curious for Shinobu vs Arata too
