IContribution Taichihayaweek2022/ Taichihaya seem by other’s pov
1. Arata’s pov, he very well knew something special was happening here. I love the way Sensei uses the word “futari” in Japanese to say together. Futari means a pair, a couple, two people, that’s how the club started. A more general way of saying together is Issho ni, which is usually the word Sensei uses. This is the first time Arata feels his jealously welling up
2. Nishida’s pov. Nishida knows very well what both Taichi and Chihaya have been going through since Taichi left the club. “It’s them who’s feeling hungry”. A quite instinctive way to describe their feelings….quite poignant.
3. Just one of the pov’s from Hanano. She is ofcourse always observing Taichi. She knows very well how much Taichi burns for Chihaya cause she is feeling similar feelings even if she is far from being as close to Taichi as Taichi is to Chihaya. She like Arata, also picked up on something special at Yoshino, just like Kana chan. Even the referee picked up on the seriousness of what was playing out.
For Taichihaya Week Day 5 - Taichihaya from others’ POV - @taichihaya-day
For this day, I wanted to show all the people who support Taichihaya, even those who do so begrudgingly
Kana is one of my favorite characters and her support for both Taichi and Chihaya is so wonderful. She loves both of them and wants to see them happy. Even Sumire, who is in love with Taichi, just wants her two senpais to be happy.
Poem 34 is one of my favorites, and I particularly love the connection between the beginning (when Taichi finds Chihaya again in high school) and the end (when Chihaya is playing against Shinobu in the final arc).
Whom, then, shall I have as someone who knows me— since even the ancient pines of Takasago are not friends from my past. (Mostow’s translation)

Title: Fast Friends Author: fmpsimon (on AO3) Fandom: Chihayafuru Relationship: Ayase Chihaya/Mashima Taichi Rating: G Summary: Years after graduation from Mizusawa High School, Kana finally asks Chihaya and Taichi how exactly they became friends, and it takes a while for the couple to agree on the details.
“In all the years I’ve known you, I’ve always been curious about how you two met,” Kana said, her fingers wrapped tightly around the hot mug of tea. “I know you played karuta together when you were in Elementary School, but you had to have known each other before then, right?” Chihaya and Taichi exchanged glances across the table: Taichi’s face was sheepish, Chihaya’s a bit mischievous. “So,” Kana continued, “how did you become friends?”
Title: The Not-So-Perfect Perfect Birthday Author: fmpsimon (on AO3) Fandom: Chihayafuru Relationship: Ayase Chihaya/Mashima Taichi Rating: G Summary: Chihaya has planned the perfect birthday celebration for Taichi, and nothing is going to go wrong this year. Or…so she hopes.
“Everything has to be perfect,” Chihaya said as her sister tugged at and combed her hair. She let out a yelp as Chitose yanked the comb through one particularly knotty tangle. “No pain, no gain,” she said through gritted teeth.
A simple illustration I made for my best boy Taichi Mashima’s special day. I love his character so much-I love his flaws, complexity, inner struggles, and how he handles it all. His growth as a character and scenes always puts me on an emotional state, it’s so so human. He deserves all the happiness. I wish you all the luck in the world matsuge-kun! You are loved so pls smile! Happy Taichi Day! @taichihaya-day
We never got to see how Chihaya and Taichi met in canon (so far…?). What do you think happened? Were they fast friends? Did they bicker? Was it a mixture of both?
