That's just Shinobu's conceit that her road is the only road. Arata's not isolated. He goes to a Karuta society, he has a senpai he looks up to, he has normal friends, he has karuta friends...
He happens not to have a club because his school didn't have one and he didn't create one. And in Tokyo, he was alone because he was the new kid.

boobie-chan is different. she views the cards as poems, not as 1, 2 or multi syllable cards. though she had to unlearn that to become a class A player and take the reader exam.

Yamashiro 7-dan's the same, though. She also reads the poems like, well, poems, not bunch of syllables. That's why Kana aspires to be like her.
