Aaaah T_T reading the comments I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who's tearing up haha. But this is SO good, this entire arc has just been consistently amazing, it's such a good work even after all those volumes!
The excitement of the game and the characters.
Suou's aunt and Harada sensei!!
Chihaya and Shinobu and their weird relationship with their moms. All the friends and supporters.
Shinobu and the little karuta gods. Suou and Taichi. Chihaya and Arata.
It's so satisfying to have everything from the beginning colliding. Such good writing in addition to the pretty art. It's like you guys said, my heart is strangely full (ಥvಥ)
Thank you for the translation!
