Impassionate gods have never seen...
[00:49] Kanade
Hey.
[00:51] Kanade
I don't think we should hold
a karuta demo tomorrow.
[00:55] Chihaya
What? Why not?
[00:57] Kanade
We'll scare away all the first-years.
[00:59] Chihaya
Huh?
[01:00] Taichi
True.
[01:01] Chihaya
Huh?
SIGN Kana-chan's right.
[01:03] Chihaya
Huh?

[04:08] Sumire
I'm searching!
[04:10] Sumire
Oh! There's a nice one in class 1!
[04:13] Sumire
I'm going to make him regret dumping me
[04:14] Reader
Next, we have the competitive

[04:15] ---
because we went to
different high schools
[04:18] Sumire
by finding a super hot guy!
[04:21] Taichi
I'm the president, Mashima Taichi.

Before the typical
reactions can kick in,

[04:37] Taichi
The karuta club plays a competitive
one-on-one card game
[04:38] Kanade
we send out Chihaya-chan
and the president in hakamas
[04:40] ---
to make our club look important
[04:41] ---
based on the Ogura Hundred Poets.
[04:42] Kanade
and grab the hearts of the
first-years like an eagle's talons!
[04:45] Person A
Hey, Hanano-san!
[04:45] Taichi
While the game is meant to be
competitive, there is also a cultural aspect...
[04:47] Person A
Isn't he hot?!

Hana—
[04:52] Person A
Eagle?
[04:53] Taichi
Please drop by, if you're interested.

Finally, our captain would
like to say a few words.
[04:57] Chihaya
Huh?
[05:02] Chihaya
Um... Er...
[05:06] Chihaya
I-I don't...
[05:08] Chihaya
...have many ordinary friends,
[05:11] Chihaya
but my goal is to become friends
with all one hundred cards,
[05:14] Chihaya
so I want one hundred junior members!
[05:19] Person A
A hundred members?!
[05:20] Person B
You're too greedy!
[05:22] Person C
She wants to be friends with cards!
[05:23] Sumire
Cute and clueless?
[05:25] Sumire
Annoying.
[05:33] Person A
She's so cute!
[05:34] Sumire
But...
[05:36] Sumire
I found my man!
[05:39] Chihaya
Are any new members going to come?!
SIGN Notice: If the karuta club does not recruit five new members next year, you will have to return the clubroom. Good luck. I was able to increase the club's budget to 30,000 yen. -Miyauchi
[05:41] Nishida
We'll be in trouble if no one comes.
[05:44] Kanade
The reaction to our
introduction was promising.
[05:46] Chihaya
Really?!
[05:47] Kanade
Yes.
[05:47] Taichi
But we don't want too many.
[05:51] Taichi
Well, if we get some
first-years to join,
[05:55] Taichi
we'll have to figure out
who's going to teach them.
[05:59] All
What?!
[05:59] Taichi
Why?!
[06:01] Chihaya
Me! Me! Me!
[06:01] Taichi
Why are you volunteering when you're
the worst possible candidate?!
[06:03] Nishida
Don't you need to practice?!
[06:04] Chihaya
Me! Me! Me! Me! Me!
[06:10] Chihaya
How many first-years are going to come?
[06:18] Chihaya
We were able to buy new cards
with the extra budget.
[06:23] Chihaya
I hope they learn to love karuta.
[06:26] Chihaya
And then...
[06:34] All
Hello!
[06:39] Person A
What's wrong, Senpai?
[06:41] Person B

Sumire!
[07:08] Chihaya
Su-Sumire-chan!
[07:09] Sumire
She's definitely an enemy.
[07:12] Sumire
Pretty, clueless, and dumb.
[07:14] Sumire
She's every girl's enemy!
[07:17] Sumire
I couldn't tell when she
was wearing a hakama,
[07:21] Sumire
but she's got an amazing figure.
[07:23] Sumire
They look good together.
[07:28] Chihaya
Um, let's start by introducing
the second-years.
[07:32] Chihaya
From the far end...
[07:33] Sumire
Excuse me, can I ask a question?
[07:35] Sumire
Does President Mashima
have a girlfriend?
[07:38] Person A
Excellent question!
[07:39] Person B
Way to go, Hanano-san!
[07:44] Kanade
Your upperclassman is talking!
[07:46] Kanade
It's not your turn to speak!
[07:50] Sumire
Small figure with huge boobs!
[07:52] Sumire
Enemy!
[07:53] Miya
I need to take care of the tennis team.
[07:56] Miya
I'm counting on you.
[07:59] Chihaya
Um, have any of you played
competitive karuta before?
[08:05] Chihaya
Who's memorized all of the
Hundred Poets poems?
[08:10] Chihaya
It's okay!
[08:11] Chihaya
We were all beginners at one point!
[08:13] Chihaya
I made printouts of the poems with
their unique syllables and meanings.
[08:17] Chihaya
Please start by memorizing
all one hundred.
[08:20] Person A
What? Memorize?
[08:22] Person B
Why?
[08:23] Person C
How many pages are there?
[08:23] Person D
This looks hard.
[08:24] Person E
I can't do this.
[08:25] Person F
Just skim it.
[08:28] Kanade
There will be a test in one week.
[08:29] Kanade
If you haven't memorized
all of the poems, you fail.
[08:31] Kanade
There will be a retest offered.
[08:33] Person A
What? A test?
[08:34] Chihaya
Kana-chan, a week isn't long enough.
[08:34] Person B
We have to memorize all of them?
[08:37] Kanade
They're in high school now!
[08:39] Kanade
They can do this.
[08:40] Chihaya
But...
[08:41] Kanade
We have to make them do this!
[08:44] Chihaya
Um, we'll explain the rules next.
[08:46] Nishida
Me?
[08:48] Chihaya
Matches are played between two people.
[08:50] Chihaya
You take 50 of the Hundred Poets cards
[08:53] Chihaya
and put the remainder back in the box.
[08:54] Chihaya
Each person places 25 cards, with
a 3 centimeter gap in between.
[08:57] Nishida
Here's your 3 centimeters.
[09:00] Chihaya
This is the basic layout.
[09:01] Chihaya
You win if you reduce the 25 cards
on your side to zero first.
[09:06] Chihaya
First, you have 15 minutes to
memorize the positioning of
[09:09] ---
the 50 cards on the field.
[09:11] Chihaya
This is just a tutorial, so we'll
only use three minutes.
[09:13] Nishida
One minute's enough.
[09:15] Kanade
The first poem read
is the opening poem,
[09:18] Kanade
which isn't part of the Hundred Poets.
[09:21] Kanade
The poem of Naniwa Bay, said to be known
[09:23] ---
universally during the Heian period,
[09:25] Kanade
was chosen as...
SIGN Kana-chan.
[09:29] [POEM] Kanade
Here comes spring,
now the flower blooms
[09:38] [POEM] Kanade
Here comes spring,
now the flower blooms
[09:46] [POEM] Kanade
I feel that my love...
[09:48] [POEM] Kanade
As my love first came...
[09:49] Sumire
Huh?
[09:50] Sumire
What?
[09:52] Sumire
What are they doing?
[10:01] Chihaya
Um, so there you go.
[10:03] Chihaya
Once you learn the poems,
the unique syllables,
[10:06] Chihaya
and how to position, you'll be
able to quickly take cards.
[10:09] Chihaya
Let's work together to make it
to the National Championship.
[10:15] Sumire
Um...
[10:16] Sumire
We're not interested in
this complicated stuff.
[10:19] Sumire
Can we play bozu mekuri
with the cards in a corner?
[10:23] Person A
You're too frank, Hanano-san.
[10:25] Person B
No kidding.
[10:26] Person C
But I like the idea of
playing bozu mekuri.
[10:27] Person D
I don't know how to play that, either.
[10:29] Person F
We'll start by learning
the Hundred Poets poems.
[10:32] Person B
See you again next week.
SIGN Let's start a competitive karuta club! Please come see Ayase Chihaya in class 2-9!
[10:36] Person D
You're a riot, Hanano-san.
[10:41] Chihaya
W-Well, that's how it goes at first.
[10:46] Chihaya
Since we have twenty
people who want to join,
[10:49] Chihaya
we should do what we can to
help them understand karuta.
[10:52] Chihaya
Right?
[10:54] Chihaya
Huh?
[10:58] Taichi
Chihaya.
[11:02] Taichi
You don't have time to teach first-years
who aren't particularly interested.
[11:07] Taichi
If you're serious about playing
in the Master and Queen match,
[11:10] Taichi
shouldn't you skip club practice and go
to the Shiranami Society instead?
[11:14] Nishida
What are you talking about, Mashima?
[11:16] Nishida
The high school tournament comes first.
[11:18] Nishida
It's been a year since we
last played as a team!
[11:21] Nishida
Are you saying that the individual
tournament is more important?
[11:23] Nishida
Sure, you're probably worried because
you still haven't made Class A...
[11:27] Kanade
Porky!
[11:36] Kanade
I'll take responsibility
for teaching them.
[11:38] Kanade
We don't need twenty new members.
[11:40] Kanade
I'll only let the ones who can keep up remain.
[11:43] Chihaya
What? You can't do that, Kana-chan!
SIGN I think it's a good idea.
SIGN The five of us will be playing in the high school tournament.
SIGN The first-years aren't important.
SIGN They can play bozu mekuri in the corner if they want.
[11:57] Chihaya
Wh-Why would you all say that?
[11:59] Chihaya
We need to train new members!
[12:01] Chihaya
Or else the karuta club
won't last very long!
[12:06] Nishida
Ayase, what are you expecting
from the first-years?
[12:12] Nishida
We're the ones who will
be winning matches.
[12:22] Chihaya
I never knew, until
the first-years came,
[12:26] Chihaya
that we all cared about
[12:29] Chihaya
different things.

[13:48] Miya
Prepare by identifying the

Chihaya...
[15:40] Taichi
Ignoring your other goals for now,
[15:41] Taichi
how are we going to become a
strong karuta school like Hokuo?
[15:45] Taichi
We need a proper coach
for that to work.
[15:47] Chihaya
Well...
[15:49] Chihaya
If we recruit enough new members,

I'll come back to teach them

Say...
[16:48] Taichi
Can I go practice at
the Shiranami Society?
[16:52] Taichi
Just on Tuesdays and Thursdays?
[16:55] Nishida
Why are you bothering to ask?
[16:57] Nishida
Get going!
[16:58] Nishida
You can practice with
Dr. Harada and Tsuboguchi-san!

Right now, I care the most

about Taichi making Class A.
SIGN I think that Ayase's changed a bit.
[17:15] Nishida
She's changed?
SIGN It's hard to say...
SIGN But I mean, Ayase's words
SIGN inspired Mashima to think about himself, for once.
[17:29] Sumire
I'm tired...
[17:30] Chihaya
You can memorize poems
in their entirety,
[17:30] Sumire
Memorization? Is this a
classical literature class?
[17:32] Chihaya
or you can use shortcuts.
[17:34] Sumire
Huh? I don't remember any boys.
[17:37] Sumire
Whatever.

09 So the flower has wilted during the long spring rains,

For "Though I prayed,"
[17:44] Chihaya
the second verse begins
with "I never asked,"

so think "pray, never ask."

Hmm?

[18:25] Chihaya
Huh?
[18:29] Chihaya
She's so sensitive!
[18:42] Sumire
Mashima-senpai!
[18:45] Taichi
Huh? Aren't you...
[18:46] Sumire
What a pleasant surprise.
[18:48] Sumire
I have a headache, so I left early.
[18:52] Taichi
Um... Sumire-chan, right?
[18:54] Sumire
He called me Sumire-chan!
[18:56] Taichi
What's your last name?
[18:57] Sumire
Hanano.
[18:59] Taichi
Do you think you can handle
the karuta club, Hanano-san?
[19:01] Sumire
Of course!
[19:03] Taichi
Really? That's good!
SIGN Call me Sumire...
[19:06] Sumire
Even his voice is perfect!
[19:08] Sumire
I'm so lucky that we take
the same train to school!
[19:13] Sumire
This is working out pretty well, right?
[19:15] Sumire
I think my chances are looking good!
[19:18] Taichi
There's an open seat.
[19:19] Taichi
Why don't you sit down?
[19:20] Sumire
No, I can't sit down
while you're standing.
[19:22] Sumire
There might be other
people who need to sit more,
[19:27] Sumire
so I would rather leave the seats open.
[19:32] Sumire
I just have to play the
sweet little girl.
[19:36] Taichi
Don't worry about it.
[19:38] Taichi
You're not feeling well, right?
[19:45] Person A
Look at him.
[19:46] Person B
Isn't he handsome?
[19:59] Sumire
Y-You must be popular, Mashima-senpai.
[20:04] Taichi
I wouldn't know.
[20:05] Sumire
You must be.
[20:07] Sumire
I bet girls ask you out all the time.
[20:09] Sumire
You don't have to worry about
looking for a girlfriend.
[20:12] Taichi
I'm not really sure about that lately.
[20:17] Taichi
It doesn't seem right to
let a girl choose me.
[20:21] Taichi
I would rather choose the
girl I devote myself to.
[20:37] Reader
Bubaigawara. Bubaigawara.
[20:40] Taichi
You're pretty cute, so I bet a
lot of boys would choose you.
[20:44] Taichi
Bye.
[20:51] Sumire
That really stung...
[20:56] Sumire
Mashima-senpai will never choose me.
[21:03] Sumire
I won't accept it!
[21:06] Sumire
I want to have a choice, too!
[21:08] Sumire
I...
[21:10] Sumire
...don't want to write
poems about regret!
