There were already rumors of a second season but I was really shocked when I saw this announced. Anyway it had decent TV ratings (for a series airing midnight) and a massive increase on manga sales + an increase in interest in karuta in Japan (I remember seeing this news somewhere).
I'm just really REALLY happy right now!

I made this really weird face when I saw the thread's title pop up as I refreshed the General Anime subforum out of complete disbelief...
I'm surprised the announcement isn't coming along with a TV drama or anything of the sort, though. It seemed like the only way to get more Chihayafuru, just like what NTV did for Kaiji (the second season most likely only happened because there was a second live-action movie coming). AFAIK, the bump in manga sales wasn't even that sizable either (I haven't compared the latest volumes though, will get around to that later today)... but eh, the production committee has to be making some money somewhere after all! And I'm so damn glad they did because I was 100% sure we'd never get to see the rest of the manga animated.

Vol. 10: 161,373 (...) Vol. 14: 171,785 Vol. 15: 192,448 Vol. 16: 212,169 Volume 10 was released in September 2010, well before the anime. Volume 15 was the first one to reflect the anime bump, and vol. 16 was the latest released, right by the end of the anime. Of course it'll be interesting to see the increase on vol. 17 as well, because plenty of other people might've also thought that it'd be the end of animated Chihayafuru so they'd need to read the original to know who ends up winning the war between Arata and Taichi.

I thought this was gonna get merged with the other thread...
Well anyway this is awesome news. Frankly if there wasn't a second season then that would've simply been tragic, given where the first season left off. I can't wait.

Btw speaking of the Chihayafuru manga, vertical had a poll on their FB about what series we want them to license, & Chihayafuru was a choice on the poll. I don't think its getting enough votes though so go over & vote.
