Shinohayu ch34 by Akio is out, but still waiting for Biyori and Tokihayu. Dumping anyways.
>>143401411
Shizuku is Maho?
I will give you a bump while I wait for Toki.
Fin.
>>143401705
That can be understood in two ways. Are you waiting for 404, or the Toki spinoff TL?
>>143401943
Kyouka hype!
>>143401977
The translation but I know we probably won't get it today. I was just giving you a little help.
>>143400724
Too bad. I was looking forward to Rena comforting Shino and confirming this pairing.
>>143402117
But why? Shino is for Kanna.
>>143402384
But Kanna/Kyouka is already canon. They're probably going to kiss when Kyouka wins this match.Or tearfully hug when she loses.
>>143402518

Good chapter, it was quite an impressive comeback for Crazy-B.
I came home from work expecting Toki, but got no Toki. I felt like Toki.
>>143401676
Unless the tournament uses some really weird rules, that hand is 400 points short. Tanpin Sanshoku Dora should be mangan for 12000+300.
Is this the first time we've seen someone voluntarily end a bonus round?
How much Ryuuka was in the Toki side story thing? Cause I'm not too big on Toki, but Ryuuka is my favorite Senriyama.
>>143405185
Toki and Ryuka are the main characters so they shared almost the same screetime.
>>143405185
Too much Ryuuka.
>>143405248
>>143405261
Excellent. There can never be enough Ryuuka.
>>143400680
Haya a cute!!

>Toki was garbage at mahjong before she got future sight

Toki wasn't garbage, she just wasn't First String Nationals level.
>inb4 "same thing"
>>143406638
Well in the Saki universe it really is the same thing.
But let me put it this way, she was never good. That's the impression I got from the Senriyama flashbacks in Achiga.
was all of this typeset?
https://www.mediafire.com/?a4ha5535o151do6
>>143406743
>But let me put it this way, she was never good. That's the impression I got from the Senriyama flashbacks in Achiga.
Why not wait to see how good she is in her own manga?
>>143406743
Well, Saki herself was shit without her powers at first. That's why Hisa made her train playing online.
>>143407304
But we've never seen Saki without her powers.
>>143407274
Of course. I was just pointing out some guidelines Tokihayu will likely have to follow. Toki can't be too high level.
>>143407367
>But we've never seen Saki without her powers.
Hold on ignore that, I get what you mean now. If Saki can't use her powers she is shit.
The captain is actually pretty funny girl.
>Tokihayu comes out
>Suddenly anons stop caring about Shinohayu
Y'all sluts you know that? Go on then, ignore Shino and co and enjoy those loli dragon tatas.
>>143407367
>Saki without her powers
Didn't we see that in the semifinal? Saki played digital mahjong for most of the second half.
>>143407304
I don't think so, Saki is never ronned by anyone in manga so at least she is very good.
In anime, we have a glance when Saki get ronned by online mahjong though.
>>143408328
I agree she's great.
Sadly there's just not much to talk about in regards to Shinohayu right now.
>>143408658
>I don't think so, Saki is never ronned by anyone in manga so at least she is very good.
Because she's got her fucking super powers, dimwit.
>In anime, we have a glance when Saki get ronned by online mahjong though.
Because she can't uses her super powers when playing online. That's why Hisa put her to train playing online. It's the only way to train her actual non-super skills.
Right now she got better thanks to all her online training, but at the beginning she sucked hard.
>>143408467
>Didn't we see that in the semifinal? Saki played digital mahjong for most of the second half.
Yeah but that's Saki after all her training. The first time Saki played online during their training trip she was shit.
>>143408328
Shinohayu feels pretty irrelevant. Tokihayu is at least about a prominent character in two other manga. Shino hasn't had anything to give her relevancy in the main manga to warrant a whole manga being created for her when it could have been Hayahayu and made more sense. They'd have to drop some really contrived bombshell revelation like "Shino is Saki's mom"
>Achiga ran for a bit over a year and a half
>Shinohayu started in 2013 and is still going with no real clear goal or purpose
>>143400796
>>143400836
When will these two get married already?
>>143409255
>people with shit taste and opinions this wrong exist.
Toki is fucking shit. And her story is simply yuri baiting while Shinohayu is a beautiful story of girl liking mahjong and trying to find her mum.
Saki: Pro: Cornerstone of franchise; Con: Too slow, character development lost in excessive fanservice and long mahjong matches
Achiga: Pro: Strong tie-in to main story. Con: Flawed protagonists. Manga too fast-paced.
Biyori: Pro: Comic relief; humanizes the characters. Con: sometimes detracts from plot tension
Shinohayu: Pro: compelling character development. Con: unlikely central premise (lesbian hypnotic abduction); unclear relevance to main manga
Toki: Pro: beautiful artwork, good slice-of-life; Con: not plot driven; feels like filler material.
>>143410276
>Con: not plot driven; feels like filler material
There's only been two chapters, and they haven't even been translated yet. It's far too early to pass judgement about its content.
>>143410276
Ritz: Pro: Creative way to satisfy reader curiosity about reclusive RL Ritz. Con: content suggests internal conflicts between Ritz, the other authors, the publisher, and the anime studio; potentially exacerbates real internal struggles rather than defusing them.
>>143410276
>Con: not plot driven; feels like filler material.
Stop pulling shit out of your ass. There's only been two chapters and you can't even into nip.
>>143410276
>Con: not plot driven; feels like filler material.
There is a plot. It's related to the reason Ryuuka approached Toki in the first place. It also has to do with her pendant.
>>143410953
I wonder if the pendant was Ritz or Meki.
>>143411018
The pendant is new in the Toki manga.
>>143411223
I know that, but I wonder if the plot device was something Ritz had thought up or Meki. Ritz gave over some things about their history but otherwise left the rest to Meki. Mysterious necklaces that are the basis of your quest are pretty Ritz-likel.
Given that pre-Toki-Toki is average at best at mahjong I wonder how much focus will be on the game in Tokihayu.
>>143411853
Could this be a mahjong manga for actual beginners?
>>143411913
I suspect it will be more of a romance-friendship story about the "amazing" Ryuuka and the inferior Toki, and everything that entails, so the mahjong will only be a plot device and not the main focus. But then again I may be wrong, and we might see Toki really developing in terms of the game.
Oh my god, who the fuck cares about TOKI?
>>143411990
Eventually, everyone will Toki
Toki manga starts at beginning of 5th grade (spring), and Toki and Teru are the same age. At this point, Teru is still in Nagano (pic), and the Goldfish tragedy hasn't happened yet, but will soon. (probably summer of 5th grade) Wondering if there is a chance of plot collision between the Saki & Toki manga.
>>143412092
Toki improved her mahjong by playing against Goldfish in the hospital.
Ryuuka accidentally burned down the hospital when sunlight was magnified through her pendant.
>>143400656
Thanks for the dump.
>>143412208
Nelly stole the pendant from Ryuuka and put the gem on her hat.
>>143412241
Teru & Saki's broken relationship is really about stolen pudding.
>>143412208
>"Thanks you Toki-san, playing mahjong with you was fun, like back when I could play with my sisters"
>"You can still play with them once you get out of this hospital!"
>"The doctors have told me I'll never be able to live normally again. Say, if you ever run into my sisters could you tell them to get along again? For me."
>"Of course, anything for my friend! But what are their names so I could find them?"

>>143425040
I'm convinced that we've hyped up the Miyanaga family situation so much, anything Ritz comes up with will be a disappointment.
>>143427377
I'm sure most people understand it's just joking around.
The pre-battle lineup with all the teams standing at the table with Saki and Teru standing next to each other is going to be tense as fuck though.
>>143427377
Don't tell me that you're really expecting something seriously emotional?
>>143428492
Ritz can write genuinely emotional stories, we've seen it before especially in Shinohayu.
The glimpses we've seen of Saki being nigh-psycopathic, like vowing to "crush" Awai, do hint as something darker.
As Ritz has also said that Saki has never murdered anyone, both the theories that Saki stole Teru's pudding and that Saki burned down a hospital are equally unlikely.
>>143430334
>we've seen it before especially in Shinohayu
Yeah, but Saki is Saki, Shinohayu is a completely different beast.
I think it's better for you guys if you don't too much from the sakisan/gldfsh/teru accident.
>>143427377
By the time Miyanaga's family past is revealed, we will be on the end game anyway. I got the feeling that Ritz might not be able to extend the series much longer past the final.
Maybe ending the series after the final would be good. She can always make an Usuzan spinoff/Saki: Year 2 in the future after the fans forget about the (presumably) disappointing Miyanaga family past.
>>143431566
Saki and Teru won't play each other in the finals, so that can't be the end. Ritz will have to draw the individuals too. The match between Saki and Teru in the individuals will be the actual ending.
>>143431801
>actual ending
If Ritz doesn't go mad and continue on with the fall tourney/Maho stuff/International arc.
What are Saki's sales like anyway?
Can it survive a drastic drop in readership if the readers are disappointed in the Miyanaga backstory?
>>143432434
>if the readers are disappointed in the Miyanaga backstory?
No, wait a moment.
Are you seriously implying that the majority of Saki readers care that much (or a shit) about the whole Miyanaga family thing?
People read Saki for cute characters and mahjong and that's about it.
>>143432434
Saki is eternal. By the time we got Miyanaga backstory Ritz Gangan will be a real thing and at that point nothing can stop Ritz.
>>143432434
Saki sales has been pretty stable in many years (it had some major increase around v 3 but ever since it's been around 30000-40000 per volume). This is despite various Ritz-isms affecting the main series since the nationals, so I think the readers are pretty stuck by now.
>>143432126
Ritz will scrap the finals, and do infinite consolation matches. Everyone wants a Miyamori-Eisui-Kentani-Koshigaya-Kariyasuku-Kayama-EastHakuraku-Yamasu mini-tournament more than the finals anyways.

Funny thing is, she doesn't look nearly as tired in that pic as she does in the show. If anything, she looks like she's waiting for you, anon.

Ritz didn't rank, if I remember correctly someone posted that it sold around 10,000 copies.
>>143432818
We've passed that point years ago, anon. We could have stopped Ritz around the time they were doing season 1 of the anime, if we dropped everything and zerg rushed her followed by every single nuke on the planet.
>>143404700
Another day gone. Another day of no Toki.
To buy or not to buy - I still didn't finish comparing the translation of volume 2 and 3 with the scanlation.
>>143434483
First comes Shinohayu, then Biyori, then we Toki while waiting. But rejoice, someone picked up the Moribito manga after over 8 years - we can wait a little longer.
>>143434483
Working on them.
Cute, gay, high resolution Toki goodness.
>>143435615
Thanks dude, may Toki bless your soul.
>>143434681
I wonder if Tokihayu will sell Shinohayu-tier or Biyori-tier.
Reminder: You will never (be) impregnate(d by) any of the Sakis, Tokis, -hayus or Ritz's.
>>143437721
I think too much, or Ritz like to make Saki suffer a lot?
I stopped to see the start again and the current moment and now come a thing on my mind
Saki wants to crush Awai so, Teru(on her mind) would love her again, but isn't the Miyanaga family used to not accept a loss too well? The parentsis mentioned, but what about the older sister? That would be bad for Saki if she make Kiyosumi win.
The other part we have Nodoka with her bet: Kiyosumi wins the championship she stays or Nagano, failure = she go to Tokyo, and then we have her friends of Achiga, how deep is the friendship between Shizuno and the others vs Saki? She go to accept it if Saki wins against Achiga.
Maybe I thinking and seeing stuff were is not supposed to be but is what I think.
About Toki story I not expecting much, like Shinohayu, except knowing how Toki become so bad on health, and the Three Armies.
>>143438196
>but isn't the Miyanaga family used to not accept a loss too well?
Wasn't that retconed? Whatever issue Saki's family (and Teru in particular) have with her, it's related to what happened with Goldfish.
>>143438196
>I thinking and seeing stuff were is not supposed to be
This. You're thinking too much. Shino having her mum kidnapped is actual suffering.
>>143438533
To be fair fucking up at child age making your own decision be responsible for splitting up your family is pretty heavy as well. You just don't think about it because unlike Shino, Saki doesn't show much human emotions.
>>143438942
Are you trying to say that this girl isn't human?
>>143439326
Sure you are. I don't want no trouble, please.

>>143420992
>>143420814
I wonder if Zenkoku S2 is being held up by negotiations between Ritz & Gokumi, knowing that Gokumi is in bad shape and Saki is a guaranteed sell. Also, if all of the VA's are available.
>>143444358
I'm gonna put my bet on Zenkoku 2 being announced during the lieutenant match of loser-hen.
I've lost hope in Shinohayu for now. It is so utterly unbelievable that Shinohayu hasn't gotten an anime that the only way I can justify it is that they're waiting for another material for 24 episodes.
poor Kyouko
>>143444358
No, they just have to make a joint season with the semis and the 5th place match, so they're waiting for that to conclude. The 5th place match is probably shorter so it won't fill 2 cours without some trickery. Which might be a good thing; it gives room for Kiyosumi filler.
>>143444358
>Gokumi is in bad shape
Wait what? I haven't heard about this.
>>143444625
People just say this because their last two shows bombed hard.
We don't actually know anything.
>>143444486
At this point, they may as well wait for Shinohayu manga to be completely over before animating it.
By that time, everyone will be clamoring for Toki S1.
>>143420992
Lesbian sexbots was a good show.
>>143444597
Ritz probably has PTSD from rushing the Saki manga for S1.
>>143444597
I'm honestly really struggling to think whether the Semis and loser-hen could fit into 13 episodes.
I know that the semis had more chapters than the quarters but there were a whole bunch of shitty 8 page chapters too.
>>143445052
I want to bully Ritz into drawing chapters faster.
