The anime poster for "Chihayafuru" features the three main characters surrounded by vibrant green maple leaves. In the foreground, Chihaya Ayase, dressed in a red kimono with autumn leaf patterns, is shown reaching out with her right hand, her eyes wide and mouth slightly open in an expression of intense focus or surprise. To her left, a white card with Japanese calligraphy is visible. In the background, to the left, Arata Wataya is depicted in a dark school uniform, looking down and slightly to the left, appearing contemplative. To the right, Taichi Mashima, in a light-colored school blazer and striped tie, is holding a flip phone to his ear, looking forward with a serious expression. The overall scene suggests a moment of drama or intensity related to the karuta game, set amidst a bright, natural backdrop.
