Chihayafuru will always hold a special place in my heart for being a series that can consistently maintain a top quality throughout the seasons in both storytelling and animation. Not even Haikyuu can say that with some of the recent seasons. I mean, it also holds a unique place for making me interested in what should have been a boring card game as well.

Where To Start The Chihayafuru Manga After The Anime?
If you watched through Season 3 of the Chihayafuru anime and want to continue the story with the manga, you can start at Chapter 144.
Season 3 adapts through all of Volume 27.
What to Expect From The Chihayafuru Manga?
The Chihayafuru anime is very faithful to the manga. It skips little and even brings karuta to life a little better with the animation direction. As such, there is really no reason to read the series from the beginning unless you want to.
Is The Chihayafuru Manga Over?
The Chihayafuru manga is complete. It ended in 2022 with Chapter 252.
Will There Be A Chihayafuru Season 4?
There has been no official announcement of a Chihayafuru Season 4 anime.
With the manga done and the blu-ray sales for past seasons not being especially great, I’d say getting a fourth season or seeing this series adapted all the way through is unlikely. However, anything is possible.
