This makes me feel like I'm five and at Walmart and my mom won't buy me a toy. I want to fall down crying and screaming. People stare. My face grows hideous as tears mix with mustache wax. My desperate pleading for season 3 is no longer intelligible. My mother is forced to pick me up bodily and carry me from the store, leaving her intended purchases behind.

I liked both versions of the live action GTO more than the anime version.

I think we just got to the point recently where there's enough chapters to cover another season the same length as the first two.

There's definitely enough room in the manga to go for another season. Probably ending just before the new school year starts (where a handful of new characters show up) or with the New Year's match since that would make the most dramatic ending.

What is this development? These aren't tears in my eyes, just a dust storm in my room. This chapter was a real tearjerker because I was caught up emotionally with Taichi and Chihaya leaving their team. Don't leave your team alone! I didn't expect Arata to make the initiative to get both of them out of the rut.

I hope the translators keep up this pace, getting two chapters in two weeks is wonderful.

They are only 1 chapter behind right now, which is 144. With ch. 145 coming out in a couple of days. The manga usually comes out bi-monthly, but sometimes only monthly.

[Chapter 145 Spoiler]


I love this series so much. :swoon:

Sorry for the huge image, when I tried putting it in a thumbnail ([timg]) it showed up even though I had spoiler tags. And I really really loved that page. This is the best sports manga.

Niku and his sister are getting quite a bit of development. I wouldn't be surprised if, in an epilogue, one or both of them (along with Hiyoro) head Karuta societies.

I just finished watching both seasons and it was so good. I wish there was more :negative:

The characters were really good and I actually found myself getting emotionally invested, embarrassingly enough, in goddamn teenage love triangle. Sure puts Twilight to shame. Anyways go team Taichi, Arata is weird.

Edit: who was the tiny motherfucker that styled on Taichi? I don't remember that.

For me at least, Chihayafuru is not the kind of story that becomes less enjoyable when you already know what's going to happen. I actually liked the anime more the second time I watched it.

There are some great matchups in the manga post anime, and reading them makes me want to see them animated even more.

:siren: Chapter 93 :siren:

The series actually ends in the middle of this chapter, so there's some stuff the repeats, but there's new stuff too.

I just powered through everything past the anime with the ore monogatari opening stuck in my head on loop and I think that was good enough for me.

e: Also my Caruta shirt arrived yesterday. The printing on the crests is lighter than I would've liked, but I'm pretty happy with my obscure Japanese Anime about obscure Japanese Card Game shirt either way.

I have watched 17 of 25 episodes in the first season, about to watch the 18th. Chihaya has to work on her game and learn some new skills, but I believe in her.
