The third part of the “Chihayafuru” trilogy that takes place 2 years after “Chihayafuru Part II”. Chihaya is now a high school senior who is ready to enter another national competition alongside her friends.

“The third movie of the series almost concludes the story. Overall, it was enjoyable. We see almost every character from the past films and there were some intense battles, but not as dramatic as the ones in the previous films. The story has some progress when it came to the characters and their inner relations, but the ending was kind of open. Plus, I would like more intrigue and drama when it came to that Queen of the game and her relationship with our leading lady. But it was entertaining, so 7 out of 10.”
