The 4 please!
Yes but as the dealer Kasumi will have to pay more... well at least there's a considerable gap between Kasumi and Toyone, but she said that she can't play defensively with her hax spirit mode.
A Yakuhai would be a good choice but with her ability wouldn't it be a honitsu?


Well, a closed Chinitsu is surely worth more (6 han!) Than a honitsu - 2 han opens, but a honitsu is a good choice atm, since Kasumi still get those honor tiles, and she won't - play into anyone's hand if she discarded the tile she's currently stuffing = perfect defense.

Now about the hand on the very first chapter... its slightly confusing that the 1 man's position... And Kasumi sat after Saki. Does that mean Saki made Kasumi draw other tiles too? :S

Actually, rather than Kasumi, I was wondering what will Toyone/Suehara do?
I mean, Suehara's definetly not possible (since it's 2 more round, Saki's dealer round and Kasumi's dealer round, unless she somehow pulled out a Yakuman....
Not sure about Toyone, I mean, Kasumi herself stated that she won't drop honor tiles because it's dangerous...
And I wonder if she got another powers she hasn't use? Other than Pursuit Riichi and that 1 tile only tsumo. (Toyone)


Yes a Honitsu will be safer as you said, it'd be a better choice, just to discard non honor tiles.

That 2 man is the one that Saki drew to call tsumo, the 1 man she kan'd It could have been kan'd from Toyone or Kyouko, Kasumi is still drawing just 1 suit even after Saki's kans, as far as I understood.

Himematsu is almost dead (;-;), all is about Toyone and Kasumi.
Too bad, Hiroe is a monster too, I liked her.

Well, Himematsu is just a team with skilled normal players. It's only natural that they can't do anything against uncontrollable demons. Sad, indeed.

I like Hiroe, she should be playing the captain position. I wonder what would happen if Hiroe were to play as captain? Do mind tricks and traps work on demons? ;P But strategy and observation is pretty useless when your opponent kills you through tsumo-ing :/

It's too sad but it looks like Himematsu won't be getting their seed back this year too.

Don't forget, Kasumi's first winning hand on 2nd half is a honitsu, mangan. :3

I dunno. I guess Saki did put down the tile she got from kan so Suehara, who thinks that Saki's hand is easy to read, to get fooled or something... :O
Or that's what I guess, lol.

Hmm, you are rare, cos most people whom I interact with often wish miyamori to win... I support Eisui too, since KasumiKomaki and KomakiHatsumi is kinda cute, plus we didn't get much flashback about it.
*sigh* Why Miyamori put aislinn as jibou? :( She only appears in few panels because most jibou match in Saki just last... a chapter/1 ep, LOL.
So different from Achiga hen...?

Wait wait wait, the seat:

Kasumi, Saki, Suehara, Toyone
That 1 man is discarded from the player to her right, which is Kasumi (unless Ritz somehow draw it wrong?) and it should be on the left - like how Saki daiminkan-ing Koromo?
The kan chun is from Toyone, which is seated in front of her.

Current Position (next ch):
North: Kasumi
East : Saki
South : Toyone
West: Kyouko

And since people are expecting Toyone to has at 6 ability because of the calendar thingy... *shrug*

Now about Himematsu... yeah.

Hiroe is kinda bad-ass player, and trap master, lol.
Which is weird since in that school popularity Himematsu is no 2, and Senriyama is no 3...
Probably because the Atago cest aka Hiroe/Kinue fans, lol.

Wait, for me Hiroe is more bearable that Kinue is totally siscon wit her... :D

But yeah, I think it was mentioned in Achiga manga and anime that if Senriyama got Hiroe and Kei, the match will be more interesting (Against Shiraitodai)

Why the announcer (Kouko) when introducing says that the main highlight is Eisui vs Himematsu? Because Eisui bumped Himematsu from the list of seeded school (Himematsu is ranked... 5 on spring tourney...)
But yeah, Kiyosumi'squarter final is kinda hellish matches...

She's playing as Chuuken, because Himematsu follows the tradion, that the Ace is Chuuken...

I think of Hiroe as a power up Yumi, lol.

I'm sure on her first Yakuman on Nationals (That Chinrouto) she can pulls out another rinshan kaihou from her 1 man... But... Yeah.

She's very awesome badass normal player.

I think she won't get her but kicked hard against monsters, like Saki, Teru, Koromo... Strategy is pretty important, but so is luck...
And she held back Hisa's winning hand - not playing into her hands - That east she saved, which is the last tile, and she's dropped it before, right?

The elder sister was the warrior blessing with two sacred treasures, the magic mirror shield of Amaterasu and the divine sword of storm of Susanoo. The little sister was the priestess of summit flower with divine protection of Tsukuyomi.

I think it was a mistake because, if that were the case, shouldn't Komaki be more worried? They were more like amazed about Saki's power (Toyone more like having fun, as you said she may have some more tricks). After I re-read it, it looks a little weird, let's wait.

I really like the Atago Sisters and Kyouko, Aislinn is pretty cute, I liked Shiro and Toyone too, but overall I'm rooting for Eusui, Komaki and Kasumi are just <3! and the little 4 winds girl was cool too (I don't remember her name...)

Yes, too bad that nobody cares about Mako, I wanted to see more about Aislinn.

It's not a random coincidence. We've already seen a lot of Shinto references with the powers of Eisui's players and Sae Usuzawa. What's more striking is that Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu are in fact siblings who, according to Shinto legend, split to become night and day after Tsukuyomi killed the goddess of food.

Oh you.
Komaki will cheers for her Kasumi-chan that will get super powered power up from OMG Hime-sama cheers for me moment, and Hatsumi will get jealous
-lol, I just... I guess I just want to see who will Komaki choose, lol.
The name is Usuzumi Hatsumi, she could pull out Sousuushi on any seats I think, but when she's sitting north she could pull daisuushi (double yakuman) - not that double Yakuman will matters much, lol.

Now regarding to all them wind tiles...

Rinkai also have The God of Wind (God cos it's sounding more awesome) Choe Myeong Fa (Fa is the reason why she sings on ep 25 pv?)

Oh and arsonal, interesting points you got there...
So now the monsters are actually... something more.

And about Mako, I'm sure the camera will zooms to other players but her *or her just occassionally*, although she scored the most points... remember the perfectural qualifications? They highlight Kaorin... and Miharun... somehow. I guess on the quarter finals they'll highlight Aislinn too, lol. XD

If that's the case then once Achiga-hen is over, Ritz will increase Saki's pace by making much bigger chapters than now.
Hopefully.
And next chapter of Saki's released faster than Achiga-hen~! Wasshoi~!

Since it's been so long, I think most of us have forgotten that since Achiga started being released, Saki's manga has gotten shorter(fewer pages) probably due to workload. It would be awesome if we got back 2xpages of Saki after Achiga ends.

Don't worry, nobody forgotten about these ridiculous 9-15 pages chapters.
Once Achiga end I beleive Saki will be about 45 pages per chapter.

I think Achiga plays against Tsuruga, Kana, Mihoko and Miharun is the day before, didn't Kanbara said something about can't play against them for long because they need sleep and will cheer for Kiyosumi tomorrow?

You're right (sort of) - the manga does say that. But I think the anime shows it as though the two take place at the same time. Don't have time to check right now and I don't think it's specifically mentioned anyway. Guess they modified it in the anime then? Or am I remembering it wrong?

No, they didn't modify it. Kiyosumi's Quarter Final was playing while Achiga went to meet with Arakawa Kei's group the day after that. It was quite cleared.
In the Anime when they say goodbye to Arakawa Kei's group they showed a television in the reception area of the building they where in that mentioned the end of the battle.
It didn't mention anything about the scores but it did mention it was a heated battle.
Tho that wasn't shown in the manga which went right to the battle with Teru when they met Arakawa Kei's group.
