I’m a real, live girl, with real, live blood gushing through my veins. You’re holding me in your arms and I’m telling you that I love you. I’m ready to do anything you tell me to do. I may be a little bit mad, but I’m a good girl, and honest, and I work hard, I’m kind of cute, I have nice boobs, I’m a good cook, and my father left me a trust fund. I mean, I’m a real bargain, don’t you think? If you don’t take me, I’ll end up going somewhere else.
It’s when nothing goes the way you want.
You’re not having fun.
And yet.. you want to be by her side.
Taichi’s inner thoughts in the last two episodes
“Ep 9: We don’t have time to think about Arata but what if he really is here, what if Arata comes to watch us?
“Ep 10: Stop it Queen and Arata those words will distract Chihaya, I need her to focus on the team match, so Arata is here…”Everything in Chihayafuru does not have to do with shipping. Taichi actually has feelings about Arata that go beyond his romantic feelings for Chihaya.
Has Taichi ever really tried to keep Chihaya/Arata apart? Did he not realize that Arata would eventually come to Omi Jingu (even if him coming early was a surprise). Could there be more than simple jealousy at work here? I see Taichi projecting his own worries on Chihaya.
Yes Taichi overreacted in the last episode, but he raised his voice a bit. He didn’t attack or scream bloody murder at Chihaya. I think he is not the only one overreacting here.
The bashing of Taichi, Arata, and Chihaya in this fandom tag is beyond ridiculous. I am sorry but I cannot even read this fandom thread without getting seriously annoyed. If you want to defend one character please do not bash another character.
* Chihaya is not purposely ignoring Taichi’s feelings. She just doesn’t realize them and it is up to her whether she loves him or not, not him.
* Taichi’s issues might be his own but he is NOT trying to own or control Chihaya.* Arata is not in the series enough. He’s great when he shows up.
Seriously all 3 of them are awesome, wonderful characters, Not one of them is perfect. They’ve all made mistakes. And they all still need to grow. Heck it’s not just those three the entire cast is awesome.
