The thing that makes me truly happy is that even after season 3 there are so so many chapters in the manga left that they can easily make 2 or 3 more seasons. We have just reached the halfway point. And Chihayafuru is immensely popular in Japan and also decently known globally so they will keep making more seasons from the manga. It may take them a few years but multiple seasons are guaranteed in the future :)
Whenever I hear songs of Chihayafuru, even if it's a happy song it kinda makes me cry. Like The 2nd season ended and I'm wishing for another season. I love the way the anime is realistic. It's not like the first time they went on a tournament, they won with barely any experience. I love the drama parts in the anime! I just love the anime so much that I started to read the manga. I barely even read mangas. :D SEASON 3!
There seems to be an alternate version of this song that appeared at the very beginning of Episode 25 of Season 2 that doesn't have the accompanying drum kit. Anyone know if it is available somewhere?
