Chihayafuru: Difference between revisions

Chihaya Ayase dreamt of seeing her sister become Japan's next top model until the day a new transfer student, Arata Wataya, tells her that she needs to work at her dream by herself. Arata's own dream is to become a top Karuta player; this dream also becomes Chihaya's own after she experiences the game firsthand and becomes entranced .

 

 

 

There is currently a [[Chihayafuru/Characters|Character sheet]] in development.

 

* [[Abusive Mom]]: Taichi's mother is a bit of an [[Education Mama]], for any competition.

* [[The Ace]]: Subverted in Taichi's case, as Kanade [[Brutal Honesty|quite harshly]] sums his up in one omake: "[[Jack of All Trades]], [[Master of None]]".

* [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy|Arrogant Karuta Guy]]: Oh, Sudo.

* [[As You Know]]: Kanade gives her knowledge of karuta's backstory in this fashion, not knowing that Chihaya knows next to nothing about it.

* [[Blind Without Them]]: Arata.

* [[Book Dumb]]: Chihaya. It's been noted by the others that she is one of the last twelve people in terms of grades.

* [[Buxom Is Better]]: Kana-chan, who is also a [[Nice Girl]] and is shown as getting approval as the most attractive dating candidate from all of the club members (quite begrudgingly from Taichi's side). [[Les Yay|Yes,]] [[Even the Girls Want Her|even Chihaya's]].

* [[Cast of Snowflakes]]

* [[Child Prodigy]]: Tachikawa Ririka, who made Rank A at grade 4.

* [[Comedic Sociopathy]]: Chitose sure is a [[Jerkass]], but the New Year's money omake was so darn funny anyway.

*** The word matsuge in "Matsuge-kun" actually means eyelashes, not eyebrows. Which fits as Taichi is a [[Bishounen]].

** Hiro is 'Retro-kun'.

* [[Josei]]

* [[Kansai Regional Accent]]: Arata gets teased because of his.

* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]

* [[Unknown Rival]]: The Queen treats Sudo this way, although it's quite obvious that she's mocking him.

* [[Unskilled but Strong]]: Chihaya. She's incredibly fast, but has no technique. In episode 17, both Tsutomu and Kana-chan point out her weaknesses, which actually pulls her out of her [[Heroic BSOD]] after Harada-sensei points out to her the problem of relying over much on speed. In episode 18, it's all but spelled out to her why her over reliance on her speed and sharp ears isn't the best way to play.

* [[Weak but Skilled]]: Tsutomu and Kana-chan aren't the quickest to react in a karuta game, but after some time, they've devised personalized playing styles that utilize their strengths. The former keeps track of his games with everyone, figuring where their strengths and his are. The latter can tell apart the cards with a certainty, to the point where multi-syllabic cards that start similarly are two totally different cards to her. They haven't won much, and still lose often to those faster then them, but in such a short amount of time, they've already closed the gap against ranked players.
