Ep. 22: Kelesuan Taichi dan kekeliruan Hari Valentine mengarah pada perayaan ulang tahun
Taichi is in a slump after the Takamatsu Memorial Cup. Chihaya notices this and tries to cheer him up. Kana suggests making chocolate treats for the boys in time for Valentine's Day. Sumire confesses her feelings to Taichi, but she also tells him to convey his feelings to Chihaya. The Valentine's Day party doesn't go well, after they discover that Chihaya's father ate all the treats, thinking that the treats were meant for him. Undeterred, Chihaya starts making plans to celebrate Taichi's birthday in April. She gets Hiroshi to talk to Taichi about his loss to Arata. Taichi wants to confess to Chihaya, but Sumire tells him to wait for two more weeks. Two weeks later, the Taichi cup is held, organized completely by Misuzawa Karuta Club and featuring karuta players that want to celebrate Taichi's birthday. (Source: Wikipedia)
