001. // while wandering we discovered the other side of the sky we were looking up to, the continuation of an endless dream...if you believe in the miracle of us meeting, we can overcome any future. //002. even if we can't choose our tomorrow or draw our future, these thousands of star fragments will rain down upon (us). if we don't fear anything, we'll have nothing to lose, right? ...crossing the white waves, we met. it felt like our swaying heartbeats had been calling out to each other. //003. i'm consistently in helpless situations, and beginning to hate this very small 'me.' though i might lose sight of things...when i remember your smile, nothing feels scary to me anymore. //004. you're a strong person who keeps saying, 'i'm fine!' and laughing no matter what happens. it's okay to not worry anymore and talk about it. everyone knows that you're doing your best, so no matter how hard it is, just smile. //005. if you feel tired, put down the weight you're carrying on your shoulders...there is no need to be scared. if you don't worry about being strong, you can move forward. //006. an anonymously written song of love that survived hundreds of years without deteriorating still makes my heart tremble. an everlasting cycle of love. falling and scattering, let me dedicate these fleeting emotions (to you)... no matter what i lose, even if it is a wish that will never reach you. //007. was our meeting itself a mistake? the remnants of us that scattered and fell are glowing faintly, even now...can you hear my voice? i'm here, thinking of you...if i had one wish, i'd just want to see you again. //008. you, who smiles bright like light...what can i say to see you again? ..i want to be by your side, even if i don't know how to convey it. //009. the reason i was able to come this far is not because of anyone else, but because your voice was there. no matter what, we are beside each other and believe in each other, laughing and crying together. that is what becomes our strength more than anything else. //010. i thought that if i was alone, i could find the answer, but the truth is, i want to rely on you more... 'it's not just you' no matter what, you were always beside me, watching over me. (i wanted to protect you but) you taught me that i was the one being encouraged all along. //011. those days when i was always struggling and losing, in search of something absolute, trying to reach perfection, i hope i can let go of all the tears and hours i felt hurt...being surrounded and held by your voice, illuminated by the light of dawn, this farewell is the first step on my next journey. now that i've voiced my feelings to you whom i love, i will become the person that i've always wanted to be: ...i will become me. //012. i keep holding you tightly, letting go of our tangled fingers... i want to keep you in my heart for just a little longer... if i can hold you, even my doubts can melt away. //013. i found my soul a best friend. if i touch my hand to my heart, the first face that comes to mind will be only you... to you, who found me, i say, 'i'm glad i met you.' ...i've spent every one of these precious days just laughing with you.
ramblings about taichihaya
Iโve finally read the last chapter of the manga, and it was just, it was beautiful.
Incoherent ramblings abound. I felt a bit sad when I read someone post sorry to chihayafuru fans because they were put through an ichiruki situation, because i have always thought there was no such thing as a fated love in Chihayafuru. (Also this is ironic, because while I slightly preferred ichiruki, no way would I say that ichihime was farfetched, in the same way that there is absolutely no way taichihaya was farfetched considering the development, and again ironic because both chihaya and taichi have the sun and moon motif so they actually healed my heartbroken ichiruki heart, but I digress -)
Anyway, I need to process my words. When I say there was no such thing as fated love, I mean that as much as I loved taichihaya, if Chihaya and Arata ended up together, I wouldnโt say that there was no basis. There was such a thing as fated friendship between our trio, but unlike other shoujo manga Iโve read, I wouldnโt consider either Taichi or Arata as Chihayaโs soul mate (I consider the three of them soul mates). Other people have shed insights about how Chihayafuru is a story of transience and youth, and I think the finale maintained that theme until the end (like Arataโs joke for example about wanting to be with Chihaya at 28, as he said the future isnโt set in stone).ย
What I loved about the ending is how it was a culmination of everything they were passionate about and fighting against. For Arata and Chihaya who were passionate about Karuta, and for Arata fighting against or for what his Grandfather means in the Karuta he plays now, for Chihaya growing up to be more sensitive to the world outside of Karuta (her wonderful conversation with Retro comes to mind, as well as her gaining a new dream in becoming a teacher). In the same way that this story was all about passion, and for Arata and Chihaya for that passion to be directed towards Karuta, I find that thereโs nothing wrong with Taichiโs passion to have been directed at another person - specifically - Chihaya, even as he was fighting against himself.
I loved the finale, because it showed how much the people around Arata and Chihaya, specifically the people who had nothing to do with Karuta, like Arataโs childhood friend and Chihayaโs older sister impacted them and meant so much to them winning.ย
As a taichihaya shipper, I really loved the finale because it shows that itโs not just Taichiโs nearness that caused Chihaya to love him back, but at the same time it was him going far away that really puts things into perspective for her. It was just so Chihaya to confess even when she thought that Taichi had already lost his feelings for her. In others words, even if Taichi no longer loved her romantically, his confession impacted her that much that she had to answer it with a poem of her own.ย
I love taichihaya not because I was sure it would be canon, but because I just really preferred it, and these are just some of the reasons.ย
1. the parallels with harada sensei and his wife, as well as kana-chan and komano
I love parallels, ok? The parallel with harada sensei and his wife actually works two ways, harada sensei paralleling Taichi with the latter also becoming a doctor in the future, and both Chihaya and harada senseiโs wife saying all they wanted was to see their important person smile. It also works the other way around in that both harada senseiโs wife and taichi steadfastly supported their loved oneโs drive to become the meijin and queen respectively.ย
kana-chan, our beloved taichihaya ship captain. I still remember how she compared chihaya and taichiโs match with her match with komano, and how they were each pairโs best matches precisely because of how well they knew the person they were facing. the irony and not of how it was these two who finally managed to push chihaya and taichi to get together.ย
2. the heartaches of love
I love how they each exemplified the highs and lows of love. How Chihaya showed how love could be greedy, in Hananoโs words, and how their experience was reflective of Taichiโs comment about love in the beginning of the series, about how love was painful but you still wanted to be with the other person.
How it showed from the very beginning that even if Chihaya wasnโt fully conscious of it, she had always been jealous of the girls around Taichi, first with his girlfriend, and even in the last chapter when Taichi mentioned Hanano.ย
I always mentioned this, even after the angsty confession and break-up (?). Chihaya relies on Taichi like no other. To be honest, they were practically co-dependent. Which is another reason why I loved why everything played out the way it did. Chihayaโs crush on Arata always seemed easy in that it didnโt seem as if she wanted it reciprocated (a happy crush mixed with admiration), meanwhile Taichi needed to confess to have Chihaya reevaluate what he meant to her and how she was supposed to relate to him.ย
And yet Iโm so happy they made up first, Taichi was finally at peace with himself, and even chose to go somewhere for himself, even if it meant being physically apart from Chihaya.
It shows that Chihayaโs confession was not out of fear that she had to reciprocate to keep Taichi by her side like she wanted because Taichi had reassured her that their friendship along with Arata would remain strong even if she didnโt reciprocate. In other words, their friendship would remain the same, but it was now Chihaya who realized she wanted more.
3. spending your whole youth on it
Taichiโs conversation with Harada-sensei about wasted youth was both about Karuta and Chihaya, and yet despite his fears, he still kept working hard, still kept trying to reach out for the Chiha card.ย
The confession and Taichiโs behavior throughout the entire series always screamed to me about how self-sabotaging he really was. He is the one to bring Arata up during his confession. He never acts in a way to get Chihaya to like him because he was already sure that Chihaya loved Arata.ย
And despite all that, despite all his fears, in the same way he was sure that he no longer had any luck in the draw, in the same way he was sure that he had no chance with Chihaya, he still loved her anyway, still supported her the best that he could. Wasted effort but one that he no longer considered wasted even if Chihaya never loved him back because he was finally at peace with himself. But of course, he was overjoyed when she said she loved him, because as he said, he would always be helplessly in love with her.ย
Iโve always thought that in the same way throughout the story Taichi thought Chihaya didnโt notice him, it was also about Taichi never noticing how much Chihaya noticed him (the towel scene is really symbolic of this). Itโs quite ironic how Taichi considers Chihaya dense, when heโs also a bit dense when it comes to Chihaya.ย
4. how taichihaya might as well be self-fulfillment for ariwara no narihira and the empress
listen, listen, brilliant people who are more well-versed in poetry have pointed out the parallels between narihira, the empress, the emperor and taichi, chihaya, and arata. It was pretty on the nose with how narihira was even drawn to look a bit like taichi, and now chihaya and arata are the queen and meijin respectively.ย
with how shinobu pointed out that the chiha and tachi cards were always paired together, nothing will now stop me from imagining chihaya and taichi as the empress and narihira who were reincarnated and can now be together.
I just really loved them, even way back in the beginning when I was just watching the anime. I was prepared for heartache, but even then, it wouldnโt diminish what they went through, so to have that last chapter is really heartwarming. Iโll probably be rambling more about Chihayafuru once I reread everything. Thank you for these past ten years Sueguetsu-sensei!
Chihaya was listening to Tare when Taichi found her in high school. It was the same poem that secured her first win against Shinobu. Taichi's love was described as Shinoburedo and Koi su cho by Kana-chan--poems that talk about a strong love that cannot be hidden. Yura was the last poem read in their 2nd-year nationals competition, the card that Taichi offered to the gods and staked all his good fortune into while wishing for Chihaya to wake up and witness his fate. The Kaze wo poem provided the words of allegory for the heartbreak Chihaya experienced at Taichi's departure. Se was the poem Chihaya sent to Taichi on their 3rd-year regionals, a poem about asking fate for a chance to meet again. It was only when Chihayaburu was recited when Chihaya noticed Taichi's arrival in their 3rd-year nationals. Despite its disappearance, she thought it was okay as long as Taichi was with her. The same poem also helped Taichi win against Sudo despite disassociating himself from it; and against Arata's strong defense, leading to his first win against him. Fu was Taichi's second-best take from Arata, moving Chihaya to tears. It was also Chihaya's first card she took like a real karuta player and what Taichi admired ever since. Kimi ga tame described Taichi's secret support for Chihaya in the Queen match, collecting the 7 green herbs that symbolize luck for her. Chihaya took Su, a poem she described as "romantic", during her first realization that Taichi has always been with her, which happened after she recalled the memory of Taichi saying his feelings for her might fade away someday. Su was also the poem Taichi used to communicate with her during the Qualifier, motivating her not to give up despite having trouble with Makino-sanโs reading. Tachi was the card Chihaya voluntarily kept and was the card of fate, winning her the Queen title. On the fusuma, Tachi is a poem that has always been a pair for Chiha for a thousand years. Tachi, the poem that reaffirmed Chihayaโs belief that Taichi is constantly with her from the very beginning. Chihaya described Taichiโs confession to her as a poem until it was her turn to recite her own poem to him with the simple words of โI love youโ.ย
Can Taichihaya get any more poetic than this???!!!
