After Chihaya Ayase has been at the 6th grade of elementary school, she met Arata Wataya. Arata Wataya moved from Fukui Prefecture. Tai-chi Mashima had been Chihaya Ayase’s friend since they were modest. Arata got near to Chihaya and also tai-chi from the card-game karuta. Four decades after, Chihaya can be still a senior school student. Chihaya finds that Arata, that travelled straight back into Fukui Prefecture, does not play karuta anymore. Believing they’ll match Arata again, Chihaya and also tai-chi starts a karuta club in their top school.
