I just love Chihaya's character and hope that whoever she ends up with (if she ever ends up with either Taichi or Arata) she'll live happily and continue playing karuta for as long as she wants. Edit 2022: taichi and chihaya end game!!!!

My heart hurt while reading this. It's painful in a sense that being left behind is always inevitable but while sadness is something no one can avoid, happiness can still find somehow make it's way into our lives. Truly amazing story.
