Chihayafuru Collection

Chihaya (Suzu Hirose) is a high school student who learns that Arata (Mackenyu Arata), her childhood friend who went back to Fukui Prefecture, doesn't play Karuta anymore. Believing they will meet again, Chihaya and her close friend, Taichi (Shuhei Nomura), start a Karuta club at their high school.

Following the karuta tournament in Tokyo in the prequel, Chihaya's team is ready for national championship. However, Chihaya is disappointed to hear that a childhood best friend from whom she drifted apart has quit the game. She pours her time and energy into training for the nationals, but in the process sacrifices a lot within and without.

Taking place two years after the showdown between Chihaya and Shinobu at the National Karuta Competion, Chihaya is a high school girl who, alongside her friends, enters another national competition against Shinobu. Hideo Harada has, in the meantime, been crushed by losing to a master player. The high school friends must also restore their master's honour.
