Chihaya meets a boy named Arata, a talented karuta player who thinks that she has a potential to become a great player. Chihaya then takes on a new dream of becoming Japan's best karuta player.

Chihaya Ayase is a girl who has spent most of her life simply supporting her sister in her model career. That changes when she meets Arata Wataya, a talented karuta player. He thinks that Chihaya has a potential to become a great player. As Chihaya takes on a new dream of becoming Japan's best karuta player, she is separated from her karuta-playing friends as they grow up. Now in high school, Chihaya still continues to play karuta, hoping that she will see her friends again someday.—Devesh

Chihayafuru 3. Being on a team is always challenging: aside from improving yourself, you need to improve the team and help them keep going no matter what frustration they might face. Mizusawa High School's Karuta Club has achieved many accomplishments and now the members of Mizusawa High will need to focus more on the individual tournaments. Ayase will finally, once again, challenge the Queen, and Taichi will be able to compete against Arata. But they are not the only players, who want to get better and get the title of 'the best player.'—Scientiiaa
