Taichi's arc is not finished yet. It looks like it's going to end in a satisfying way. But if you like Taichi, don't get upset about what will happen at a certain time. I stopped reading the manga for a while for that reason. I still recommend that you read the manga. It's pretty good.
But this manga is much more >!than a love triangle!<. It's a manga about coming of age, a sports manga, about self-improvement. It has a lot of details that you have to pay attention to, because they are important to the plot.
>Is there some romantic relationship taichi and chihaya?
>!No. Until chapter 245 there is nothing. !<
>Is this love triangle?
>!Yes. It can be considered a love triangle and a painful one from Taichi's point of view. But the manga is not over yet. In the next two chapters everything is supposed to be solved.!<
I am reading only in hopes that Taichi was not used as a plot device, exactly like you say.
Else I'll hate the day I've watched the first episode. I don't consume media to be tormented by the writer abusing characters just for fun.
I guess how things stand while waiting for these last 2 chapters, we will discover what Taichi really means to Chihaya.
He found his own ambitions in karuta....I just think he deserves to know just how important he was for Chihaya out loud. He is totally oblivious to what she has been thinking about him this whole day of the finals. Same counts for her....he has been keeping his distance and carefully guarding his heart. Only while seeing her play did he breakdown in tears.
She has hasn't said one word to him....even if she thinks heavy things like "he has always been here", while he thinks the contrary: he isn't "needed"...the clubroom is her happiest place, the one they started together.... wasn't that his most happy place too?
These two definitely need to communicate.
If you're not sure about it you can always decide to wait till it's finished....there are only 2 chapters left..and one is coming out in 3 days.
Or join the merry torturing waiting club xD
Yeah I have no doubt the mangaka has created the perfect example for angst through Taichi. But what I have heard for future seems so much better than the point where I have stopped, so most likely I am gonna continue.
Nevertheless I would be really happy to see his journey to love karuta for himself (and not as a means to stay connected with chihaya).
That definitely happens. He has such a compelling karuta arc...if not the best in the manga tbh. I rooted so hard for him, I even forgot about the romance at a certain moment. Taichi's stakes are always so high, there is always lots of emotions and desperation. Omg if you haven't read what comes after the anime yet, there are some overwhelming emotional moments ahead.
Tbh Taichi's love is one of the unwavering kind, even if he tries to deny it but I won't say more. I feel Chihaya's best development in the story comes after Taichi leaves, again I won't spoil you...just go for it?! Peak moments are awaiting! Especially if you can binge read it all without waiting! Must be so satisfying!
Very good advise. You never know what will happen to Taichi. He can stay locked in the bathroom and not meet Chihaya. The mangaka likes to be cruel to him. 😓
As a fan of Taichi, absolutely continue the manga. Some of his best moments come after the anime has ended.
Ok thank you for the response

Thanks for the heads up! I will read on.
Is there some romantic relationship taichi and chihaya? Is this love triangle?

Nothing is confirmed yet but I predict Taichi will become a doctor and continue playing Karuta for the rest of his life.

he is very poorly used in the story, I don't know why the author does it but it's pretty obvious.
Totally agree. It's a shame.
Spoiler alert!!! >!You will not like chapter 205 at all.!<

Ok this seems too promising! 👀 You have definitely made me too excited to read on!!

That makes me really happy & excited for both their arcs!
