personally, whatever manga that consumes me, i consider it a masterpiece. a story that does not make me sleep at night. characters that get my blood boiling. a plot that gives me goosebumps. a story that makes me cry, smile and touches my inner soul while reading and after reading.

story wise - 10
because i havent read anything similar to this one. you just have to read the manga to find out for yourself.

art - 10
because i dont read a manga that does not have excellent art.. this one is really excellent, for me

character - 9
im giving it a nine because.. well i thought arata is one of the main characters, but he seemed to be left out. hmm maybe he'll have his chance to shine in the next volumes. but im really high for taichi and chihaya.. and the people involved in helping them improve their karuta skills and understand their weaknesses and strengths.

enjoyment - 10
seriously enjoyed every piece of this manga.
maybe you will say im exaggerating but then this is my personal review. this is how i rate the manga on how it has affected me.

Overall TEN!
just read it for yourself to learn more and rate it according to your own experience.

Thank you to the mangaka - Suetsugu, Yuki
