Chihayafuru
When Chihaya Ayase was in the sixth grade of elementary school, she had the maximum dream of seeing her sister become a recognized model. His world is transformed when he meets Arata Wataya, a transferred classmate of Fukui, who, along with teaching him the true meaning of what a dream was, reveals to him the magic of the traditional Japanese card game: Karuta. Arata also shares his ultimate desire: to become the best karuta player. Chihaya will quickly become infected with her passion for this game and will decide to direct her new dream towards the horizon of becoming the best karuta player in Japan.
When she meets him for the first time in a karuta encounter, she is deeply impressed to see him calmly retrieving cards with intense concentration and agility. Arata, after the game, reveals to him that she has innate abilities to play, as was the case with her extraordinary hearing. She loves the game and decides to enter this world in the company of Arata and his close friend Taichi Mashima. In this way, a deep friendship is built between the three.
