I really do recommend just reading the manga like everyone else instead of fishing for spoilers. It really takes the fun out of the manga and anime and leaves you nothing to look forward to. Oh well, below is what's happened in the manga since the anime hasn't made it that far.

*****[SPOILER ALERT - READ NO FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED]******

Arata confesses to Chihaya after losing to Harada-sensei in chapter 119. Chihaya immediately runs away without giving an answer and still hasn't. Taichi still has not revealed his feelings to Chihaya. Arata and Taichi have agreed that Chihaya doesn't belong to either of them and that it will ultimately be her decision if she decides to start a relationship with one of them.

For me, i m very on to chihaya and arata... but lately, i noticed that the manga has been very boring yeah it still going on but, when arata confessed, chihaya didn t know what to say so she ran... and when taichi confessed she reacted (maybe because he finally told him the truth) then he quit the team so she followed him and then! taichi ALMOST kissed her! _ literally almost-almost kissed her (that cowardly jerk) but even so, i also noticed that most of anime lovers (or so) like chihaya to be paired with taichi (because in the first episode taichi and chihaya was seen already, or maybe i just can seem to understand Taichi s impression to her or to some readers ) but for me arata is the one for her... for he is kind, understanding, a very good friend to them, smart, who loves karuta, makes chihaya realized her dream and gives chihaya the "Chihayafuru Card".

I support Arata in the whole series, but the story line is supporting Taichi for it.

The manga is still going on, now on, it's already 151 chapters.

In the season 2 of the anime, Chihaya said that she had fallen to Arata, and then, after Arata lost to Mr. Harada, Arata confessed to Chihaya that he loves her. Nah, I thought it was ended that day, since Chihaya didn't take any act. But, but, I hate to say this, on the Valentine day, Taichi confessed his love to Chihaya after all this time. Chihaya didn't answer the question, but Taichi heard Chihaya says 'Sorry'. Taichi left. Somedays after, Taichi quit from Karuta Club. Chihaya chased after him, and BOOM!! They kissed!!! OMG!! I didn't expect that's coming!!! Chihaya quit, Arata made a Karuta Club, and Taichi has a practice with Master Suoh, that jerk -,-.

But, in the end, I finally decide, that it is okay if, Chihaya belong to Taichi. I support Arata and Shinobu-chan!!! ^-^

ARATA X CHIHAYA FOREVER

She rejected Taichi anyway!! *Chapter 138*

She ends up with *DRUM ROLL*

ME!
