About Chihayafuru 2

Chihayafuru 2 (ちはやふる 2) blends drama, romance and slice of life by MADHOUSE (2013). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The setup: Now in their second year of high school, Chihaya and her allies share all the fun and worries that come with welcoming underclassmen to the team as they face tough rival schools. The passion of the Mizusawa Karuta Club burns hotter than ever, but with the same refreshing, youthful mood carrying over from the first season.

As a drama title, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Chihaya Ayase (Asami Seto) and Arata Wataya (Yoshimasa Hosoya) are two of the characters you will meet early.

It will appeal most to viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action. The run is 25 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
