Chapter 50 is up and we're seeing what Taichi's been up to and that Hyoro (the self-proclaimed rival of Taichi and going out with Nikuman's sister) is actually an admirable captain despite not being all that good as a player.

delikpate that thing!
I'm reporting in three months after binging the entire anime, its a real good show no matter what it looks like. Childhood romance drama is constantly sidelined by HOLY poo poo DID YOU SEE THAT GUY SLAP THOSE CARDS, I GOTTA FIGHT THAT MOTHERFUCKER drama. A Good Show.

I'm going to leave that open in a tab and stare at it occasionally for a week or so, and probably get it.

I'd probably get one if it didn't cost almost as much for postage here as the shirt does.

Chapter 151 is up on Batoto, although the translator needs to proofread their English a bit more thoroughly.

Great chapter though. This is the best sports manga.

The last chapter will be an epilogue and Hyoro will be a great coach for Chihaya's kids

That's a pretty kick-rear end chapter. Get your rear end back to the club, Taichi! You loving idiot ahhhhh!

The next Chihayafuru shirt Teespring needs to make is Taichi's "Chillaxin Rx" t-shirt, which is amazing.

This makes me happy, I binged through the first half of the second season yesterday and I'm already dreading the day I can't watch my new anime friends. Goddamn, all these characters are so good!

After reading the two newest chapters, I'm wondering if some more of the new members will ever see any character growth, or if they're just background props.

I'd assume we're reaching the end though so they're almost permanently supporting characters.

We'll figure out over the next year or so if there will be a season 3. At right about the point where there was enough manga for a season 3 to make sense, the anime team was working on My Love Story!! If there is going to be one, it'll be announced sometime next year. If it isn't, it might still pull a Mushi-Shi and we'll get another one in a decade.

God help me, this trailer has made me officially kind of hyped for the live-action version. Bonus points for the song by Perfume, because Perfume rules.

Same, though I suppose I might watch it if the reception is universal acclamation.
