I honestly cannot believe I am typing this but Kodansha just confirmed they are actually printing physical copies of Chihayafuru and I am vibrating with pure excitement right now. None of us expected this would move them but those 432 signatures really did the trick because they actually listened to …

Chihayafuru is a beloved series by many from around the world. It brings attention and recognition to the amazing sport of karuta. The manga is an inspiring story filled with love, determination, and hopefulness. Kodansha licenses the English copies of this series but only releases them digitally. This petition is to bring attention to the fact that people WANT TO and WILL buy Chihayafuru English physical copies if released. The series is still in demand and the fans are growing in numbers every day!

I just blinked and saw the counter hit triple digits which is honestly wild because I was worried I was shouting into a void about paper copies of Chihayafuru. It feels so good to know there are actual people out there who want to hold these volumes on a shelf almost as much as I do (my desk is so cluttered with notes about this right now).

i loved watching chihayafuru and would love to be able to read it as well, and without a physical release i’ll almost definitely read it online for free, but with a physical release i and many others would be more likely to financially support the series
One of the best mangas I've ever read! I know that the author faced a controversy way back then from one of her previous works, but I hope you can give the author, and us, readers, the chance to let Chihayafuru have its English copies. We are looking forward that somehow, our voice will reach you, English manga publishers, because Chihayafuru is definitely worth it. Thank you~
I would love hardcopy english Chihayafuru manga. Especially with the original cover art. Bilingual Japanese/Engliah would be even better.
The chance to educate on a part of Japanese culture that’s very obscure in the west while also making the beautiful art collectible for the fans isn’t something that should be passed up.
I don’t care if we get omnibuses, 2-in-1 volumes, single volumes, etc. I would just love to own physical copies and read Chihayafuru in English.
DON'T WAIT 100000 YEARS LIKE VIZ DID WITH KINGDOM.
PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE

I just discovered Chihayafuru this year and have already bought a few copies of the Japanese volumes. I would absolutely buy this wonderful series in English if it was released, and I’m sure it would help introduce more new fans like me to the series!
