SynopsisThe Achiga Girls' Academy in Nara once defeated regional mahjong powerhouse Bansei High School. It advanced into the national team semifinals but lost to the eventual champion, and the mahjong club was later disbanded.
Six years later, elementary school student Shizuno Takakamo befriends transfer student Nodoka Haramura. The two eventually enter Achiga Girls', but Nodoka transfers out of the school in the second year.
When Shizuno sees Nodoka on television the following year as the national middle school individual mahjong champion, she decides to revive Achiga's mahjong club. |

Main characters of both series aim to reunite with their friends in national tournaments of karuta and mahjong, respectively.
+Both have Game genre.
+Both have clubs for games.
Game shows that make us discover great Japanese games such as mahjong (Saki) and karuta (Chihayafuru). I do like Chihayafuru the best, because the plot is far more elaborated, the characters are older, and the general atmosphere is more "serious". Also, you can't really expect to understand rules of mahjong watching Saki, while Chihaya can be watched and enjoyed even if you don't know what karuta is, as it is well explained. I ended up liking karuta after I watched Chihaya, but after 5 episodes of Saki I still don't get a thing about mahjong.

Young girls that are reunited in a club (music in K-On!, mahjong in Saki), doing their best to fulfill their great ambitions. In Saki, though, they are more serious about it, really dedicating to mahjong in order to win tournaments (that they start right in the beginning of the series), while K-On!'s atmosphere is more light, and the girls are more doing for fun, even if their final goal is just as ambitious.
I think that K-On! is far more developed and has more lovable characters, and of course the music helps a lot, but if you like the genre you might enjoy Saki as well.
After the first episode it literally reminded me of K-On, because Saki and K-On have a group of girls trying to revive a club with an incredible past. Both have a specific goal to accomplish when they start their clubs (K-On perform at the school festival, and Saki make it into the mahjong tournament).
