Chihayafuru Part I Page #3

Sorry, Chi.

See you.

See you.

Take care.

I got this old one from

the tea ceremony club.

There are three more so help me out.

Air!.

Look out! Look out! Watch it!

Sorry about that. Don't mind it.

Wait, wait, wait, wait!

What are you doing?

No way! Wait!

Carry it properly.

No!

Why do you go that way?

I told you.

The only way it could

be an official club

is to have at least five members.

Please re-consider.

I can't.

Search for two more.

Two?

There is one thing.

There's a student who

has not joined any club yet.

Whatever we do, we

can't make five members.

Hey! What should we do?

How about Air K?

Come on now.

That's now Air Karuta of course.

In other words, it's the approach.

Hey, you're joining the karuta club?

Of course I will. Who do you think I am?

No way! Alright!

This is good news, Taichi!

Nice to meet you.

I'm Chihaya Ayase.

What's with you? This is

not the first time we met.

Don't you remember? Your team against

our team in the team

competition years back.

Right?

Who are you again?

Don't you remember?

I see now!

You don't remember since

you butchered me instantly.

Right, right, Mashima?

No, I don't remember you either.

You traitors! You don't

remember?! Come on, come on!

My name starts with "Ni".

Ni?

Ni.

Ni...

Ni...!

Nikuman / Meat Bun!

How rude! This is a pork stew bun!

No! No! No! You're really Meat Bun!

You were also eating that time.

Meat bun?

Was I eating?

During the team competition...

Wait!

What is she, a pre-schooler?!

Nishida! The name is Nishida!

Meat Bun!

The placement of the kimono...

is reversed.

Sorry.

He is our last hope.

Everyone calls him

Desk / Tsukue in secret.

That's because he's always at his desk.

This is impossible.

He passed the entrance

examinations as second place.

It really suits him to play karuta.

Come on.

Go away!

Wait! Hold on!

Excuse me, Desk.

This is a desk. This is a wooden desk.

Is it made of cedar or zelkova?

It's lauan plywood.

I see.

What do you want?

Are you going to join a club?

How about joining the karuta club?

Karuta?

Of all the clubs, why karuta?

You see...

I'm antisocial. Find someone else.

What the...?

Wait! Wait! Why are you running away?!

I said wait!

The high school that wins the nationals

are considered prestigious.

Do you know why?

Who cares...

That's because you use your

head when playing karuta.

In other words...

If you're good at karuta...

I'm sorry. I'm really

sorry. I'm so sorry!

Mother!

Why are you calling your

mother? Wait, wait, wait.

Aren't you interested in karuta?!

Do you like karuta?

Yes. You see...

How do I put it...

The Ogura Hundred Poems

is a Japanese culture

we should be proud of.
