Chihayafuru Vol. 43 — Manga Raw / Buy Official

At last the first game of the Master and Queen matches begins. Facing the overwhelming speed and precision of the reigning Queen, Shinobu Wakamiya, an injured Chihaya still pours her whole being into every single card. Once she only gazed at Shinobu's back in awe—now she challenges her head-on, a sight both painful and radiant. In the same hall, Arata sits across from the mighty Master Suo, kindling a quiet fire over the board. Taichi's feelings, too, weave through this single day. Volume 43, where three fates begin to move on the tatami of Omi Jingu.
