I never even bothered to sign up to any apps to review a movie before. But Chihayafuru Full Circle makes me scared such a gem franchise will be discontinued when no body review it. From the anime version till this movie, the storyline and messages impacted me in many ways. I'm going to Japan next week to visit Kyoto. And I will make sure I go to Omi Jingu to just see for myself the famous Jingu for Karuta circle.

Please please please do no discontinue this movie. And make this franchise big and meaningful.

I'm always a support. Thank you for creating such a great movie. Thank you.

You've reached the end.
