| Similar to the other episodes, I think the social commentary was a key selling point in addition to the gameplay. There's also strategy employed from different sides. Nashiko seemed more anxious though usual though. I hope she can control her nerves better. Kinda cute they have an in-game avatar to track the score. I think it might also be worth keeping an eye on Haneru Emi since she's keeping an eye on Nashiko and her friends. |

| That game is literally MahjongSoul. lmao... |

何それ？意味分かんない  |
| The Saki vibes where strong this episode. Anyway since i saw Yostar being mention and seeing the Reaction of @AkeZZZ my guess is this is a real game, sleek advertisement. But besides that a new girl appears and she appears to be pretty knowledgeable about the game not to mention that she is a pretty strong player, i wonder what she is like. |
| Izumi's bad dream of rolling only doubles, combined with Nashiko and Riche literally playing Yostar's Mahjong Soul (as @AkeZZZ and @Aversa puts it), the former is out of mobile data, and the game parlor's Wi-Fi is not even working. And try as Nashiko might, she convinced her father to get Wi-Fi for the place, though on a counter. Everyone starts learning how to play online mahjong and setting their avatar names from Riche, and everyone except Riche gets paired in a ranked match together. Though cheating together, please don't do this...learn to win by your own...which Nashiko is on her wits end being desperate for a win. Too bad for them, their opponent is a rather skilled player, and Nashiko lost badly. There is another option: player-created private rooms for 3 people, which Nashiko earning a manzai for a first win, only to be beaten by the room host, she's just THAT unlucky. Pouring the resources for the rest, the room host is quite the skilled player, though Riche managed to find out a way to stop their opponent from winning, which is by reading their discarded times, which she is going for random. Despite that, their opponent is quite the master player to force all 4 girls' hands, which after a long and arduous fight, Riche comes out on top. The demon girl Haneru Emi is on her way to Onomichi to find Riche, and she is here to rock their world. It's essentially good advertisement for Yostar since they're a sponsor for the anime. |

| Really enjoyed the battle between Riche and the other girl and am looking forward to the next episode and finding out more about the new girl |
| Another fun episode for me, despite not knowing the rules, it still manages to be fun due to the interactions between the characters. The facial expressions Nashiko and Izumi were pulling this episode were hilarious. New girl seems so butthurt by the loss she had to track down the location lol. |
| seeing recordings of mahjong soul straight up copy pasted into the show feels really weird and jarring... |
| Pretty creepy she was able to find Riche but we know that the japanese specially are able to do things like that. Pon I believe it was is the one thing while playing Mahjong on the Yakuza / Like a Dragon games that I never got to understand and ended up losing those hands. |
| Imagine losing to someone in an online video game, only to immediately try to investigate who they are and track them down IRL. Kinda creepy when you put it that way but whatever lol I really like her character design though so hopefully she'll liven things up next week Also this is literally just MahjongSoul the animation by now wtf |
  |
| I think this is better than the previous episodes, I like it when the full focus is on Mahjong even when it's online. The group decides to hop on their phones and play some Online Mahjong. Nashiko, Izumi, and Pai create their accounts and got into a game together, where they lose to the much higher skilled player. They take a break for a bit but Nashiko and Riche join a private room named "Onomichi Cup." They play against this really good player where they lose multiple times until Riche wins a match. The ending is pretty creepy as Haneru immediately went online to find Riche and then she found out where she was. Like what? And then immediately went to the parlor. |
 |
| Back to the girls and the game of Mahjong. It looks like they started playing online. And it seems like they have a bit of difficulty playing, but what I saw was only Riche who was good at playing it. But hey look, who came this time. The mysterious girl, who she is, and what she wants to do. Let's see. |

| This one was mostly about the girls getting into a mobile game version of Mahjong, which is apparently a real game by Yostar which makes a lot of sense, I thought that loading screen looked kinda like their style since I used to play Azur Lane lol. And once again, despite not understanding the game this was still a lot of fun, mainly due to the usual goofiness between the girls, Nashiko never being able to grasp the game was pretty funny, and her one win gave her confidence only for it to be torn back down lol. And you also had the aspect that playing the mobile game was a bit different than playing an actual game with some of the conveniences that games have, made for quicker games and no blunders, of course that doesn’t mean it’s easy to win as Nashiko found out lol. And I had a feeling this would lead into the next girl being introduced when they first found the server for their town, it is a bit weird she felt the need to seek out the girl who stomped her but I do look forward to seeing what this interaction will be like, as well as what kind of character this girl is. |
| Yeah, that was pretty shameless advertisement and a real borefest to watch that play out. At least, the stylish girl is finally introduced. |

| @AkeZZZ I KNEW IT WAS BASED ON A REAL MOBILE GAME!!!! It was just WAAYYYY too detailed to not be based on an actual thing. Like, holy sh*t, that was a one-to-one comparison. Maybe they got sponsored by the app for this EP? Anyways, good find! |
Python is the best programming language ever. FIGHT ME! |
| mahjong soul lol i played it for a couple hours years ago but too confusing :D last girl is finally here was she that mad that she lost one game? or is she just interested in meeting a strong player? since they are from the same region anyway |
fav "new" girls from spring <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks |
| I wonder how much Yostar put forward to the production staff to have them run an entire episode's worth of Mahjong Soul promotion. Not that I complain, Mahjong soul is great. Riichi-nya~, fellow Ichihime enjoyers. |
