Another laid back episode where it is mostly about the road to meijin and queen match. It's overall a fun episode, with us seeing how the characters are doing. We followed Chihaya after her match with Suo, which affected her still, and Taichi defending her (And maybe also winning Suo over lol) There's also a sweet moment with the Mizusawa karuta club, feeling as if it's trying to ground us down. This is definitely a build up, especially at the end where we see a glimpse of the beginning of the meijin and queen title match.
