Even when they're all scattered apart, Chihaya continues playing karuta alone. However, Taichi said he "stopped playing karuta"––––. Delicately swaying, a fully spirited middle schooler Chihaya and the others presents a new spinoff comic! MangaUpdates Description: "If we continue karuta, we'll definitely meet again." With that promise to the distant Arata in their hearts, Chihaya and Taichi enter middle school. Chihaya tries to find friends to play karuta with her, but her effort is fruitless.
