Episode 8 - HS

Nikuman is pretty strong. Who knows how much he had kept practicing karuta in his mind, including repeating the poems, but it's not like it could have entirely made up for real practice. Yet he was still able to put up a good fight against Chihaya. That's good for Chihaya, as well, of course. Now she has two people to play seriously against.

During every ep I keep waiting for Arata's dramatic reappearance. With no verified series length it's impossible to try to predict if it's going to be the next ep or five eps from now... The longer it takes, the higher impact it will have if executed well. However, I doubt I'm the only person who wants to see how good he is now and if he could gouge any romantic feelings out of Chihaya, who is still 100% full of Karuta and nothing else (not even sulfuric acid).
