Chihayafuru Vol. 48 (Kodansha, 2025)

The first-ever fourth game of the Queen Match ends, and with it comes a change in the condition of Shinobu's leg… Arata also falls to Master Suou's fierce attack, bringing his match to two wins a piece as well. What is the nature of the “curse” bearing down on these two as they're unable to pull away from Chihaya and Suou, who have now closed the gap? It's time for game five at last! The final game begins as the players head into it having staked their entire youth!
