Australian anime publisher Siren Visual, have today confirmed that they have begun sending out pre-orders for their second part release of Chihayafuru. This is a fortnight ahead of their initially planned September 19th release.
Copies are still available for purchase via the company’s official website at a price of $49.95 and should also be available from retailers in the coming weeks.
Chihaya Ayase is a frank and ebullient girl who becomes fascinated by the obscure world of competitive karuta, a card game based on Japanese poetry. Introduced to the aggressive style of the game by a quiet and thoughtful elementary school classmate named Arata Wataya, the two quickly become close friends.
They start playing as a group with Taichi Mashima, Chihaya’s smart and athletic childhood friend, until they have to part ways during their middle school years due to several circumstances. As their high school life begins, they meet once again.
