The series continues as we follow the lives of the main characters of Chihaya, Taichi, and Arata. While preparing for the most important Karuta tournament of the year each character will determine their own path. They will have to decide if Karuta will remain a main focus of their life or if their favorite past-time needs to take a backseat to the growing pressures and responsibilities that arise during the process of growing up. Watch as the three childhood friends grow, change, and evolve.
