Chihayafuru Vol. 11 (Kodansha, 2018)

The Mizusawa High Karuta Club has won its way to the final round of the preliminaries for the national tournament in part thanks to the confidence and trust in each other that they've built. In a rematch from last year, they now face off against the powerhouse Hokuou Academy in five evenly matched bouts that are high-strung from their opening moments. Will Mizusawa prevail, or will Hokuou? Both sides refuse to cede a single step as the matches near their end, until something takes place that no one could have ever expected...!
