It is about a highschool girl's drive and determination to see through her love for the game, and through her encouragement and attitude motivated a childhood friend to rekindle his love for the game again. A thoroughly enjoyable and meaningful anime that have you rooting for the characters. I am assuming there will be a love story happening somewhere later or at least they are hinting about it in the anime series. I have not read the manga so I totally have no idea how it will end. The voice of one of the lead guy Tachi character is actually done by Mamoru Miyano:)
The story is as below (reproduced based on wikipedia).
Chihaya Ayase is a girl who has spent most of her life simply supporting her sister in her model career. That changes when she meets a boy named Arata Wataya, a talented karuta player. He thinks that Chihaya has a potential to become a great player. As Chihaya takes on a new dream of becoming Japan's best karuta player, she is soon separated from her karuta playing friends as they grow up. Now in high school, Chihaya still continues to play karuta in the hope that she will one day meet her friends again.
Kurata is a card game based on japanese poetry, at the same time it is physically challenging as it requires great body coordination and stamina in addition to wits.
