Chihayafuru beautifully represents the different facets of pursuing your passion, of giving everything you have for something you love, even if it's unconventional. The story shows how friends are important, how having someone by your side can completely change how you view something, and how having different perspectives near you can make you grow. I truly loved the story and all of the different characters in it, and it was amazing how they could make the story so emotional, even to people with no previous connection to the game. Also, it truly saved me when Chihaya ended up with Taichi instead of Arata, I could100% finish the story with no regrets.
