Taichi faces Arata at the Takamatsunomiya Cup Tournament. Though they both share the rank of Class A, Taichi is overwhelmed by frustration at the difference in level between them that his time and familiarity with the game makes all the more stark. In order to return a smile to his face, Chihaya puts together the ""Taichi Cup,"" an unofficial karuta tournament attended by those who love karuta and who have supported Taichi. A few days later, Taichi happens to be alone with Chihaya in the club room. As the spring breeze comes fluttering in, he opens up to Chihaya about the way he's always felt about her. But this would also be the start of the two embarking on separate paths... Chihaya and the rest of the Mizusawa High Karuta Club have to make it through a spring without Taichi, and the qualifiers for the national tournament are just around the corner!
Chihaya is forced to swallow her tears at her first national tournament appearance when, of all things, she is forced to withdraw from the team competition. Though disappointed and frustrated, she enters the individual competition thanks to her friends' encouragement. The battle between the best players in the world begins, and then she appears. Shinobu Wakamiya, the youngest Queen in the game's history, and the only karuta player who can claim to stand unrivaled.
The Master Match with Hisashi Suou's fifth consecutive title on the line has come to a close with Master Suou successfully defending in a hard-fought battle. As all eyes gather on Suou, who had stated before that he would retire after winning five championships in a row, Arata cuts him off to declare that he will come to defeat the Master next year, creating a commotion in the crowd. Suou then gives Arata a one-year extension. Taichi is also present, standing motionless as he sees these two, only to face none other than Arata the next day in the Takamatsunomiya Cup tournament! These players with unshakable convictions who have vowed to never stop chasing their goals now take the first steps into a new year!
Hyakunin’shu: Reading the Hundred Poets in Late Edo Japan explores the “popular literary literacy” of the Japanese at the edge of modernity. By reproducing and translating a well-known annotated and illustrated Ansei-era (1854–1859) edition of the Hyakunin isshu—for hundreds of years the most basic and best-known waka primer in the entire Japanese literary canon—Joshua Mostow reveals how commoners of the time made sense of the collection. Thanks to the popularization of the poems in the early modern period and the advent of commercial publishing, the Hyakunin’shu (as it was commonly called) was no longer the exclusive intellectual property of the upper classes but part of a poetic heritage shared by all literate Japanese. Mostow traces the Hyakunin’shu’s history from the first published collections in the early sixteenth century and printed commentaries of formerly esoteric and secret exegesis to later editions that include imagined portraits of the poets and, ultimately, pictures of the “heart”—pictorializations of the meaning of the poems themselves. His study illuminates the importance of “variant One Hundred Poets,” such as the Warrior One Hundred Poets, in popularizing the collection and the work’s strong association with feminine education from the early eighteenth century onward. The National Learning (Kokugaku) movement pursued a philological analysis of the poems, leading to translations of the Hyakunin’shu into contemporary, vernacular, spoken Japanese. The poems eventually served as the basis of a card game that became a staple of New Year festivities. This volume presents some innovations in translating premodern Japanese poetry: in the Introduction, Mostow considers the Hyakunin’shu’s reception during the Edo, when male homoerotic relationships were taken for granted, and makes the case for his translating the love poems in a non-heteronormative way. In addition, the translated poems are lineated to give readers a sense of the original edition’s chirashi-gaki, or “scattered writing,” allowing them to see how each poem’s sematic elements are distributed on the page.
Game two of the Queen Match. Though Chihaya immerses herself into Shinobu's world of poetry and gets within three cards, she tragically loses in the end. One more loss and her path to being Queen will be cut short. Having done everything she possibly can, Chihaya begins to feel a sense of despair. But just then, something steps in to save her! Meanwhile, Arata has put the Master, an all-time great, in check. Suou's back is against the wall, but how will he change when he sees his auntie Yukiko who Taichi has brought to him…?

Wipe away your tears, whether they're those of victory or regret, and keep moving forward. Those who fight blaze their own trail!
The East-West Challenger Finals for the Master and Queen Match. Though Arata and Taichi had once stepped away from karuta, both they and Chihaya are able to savor the joy of being in this place together.
