And Tsunami Koromo gets blindsided by Hurricane Saki... :D

Nodoka was speaking with Yuki who showed her a letter. Then, they are shown walking, and Saki is near them reading a letter as well.

Basically, its a flashback chapter, when Nodoka and Yuki are still in middle school. I believe they are graduating once spring is over. Nodoka has a future aspiration form in her hands, and she has no idea what to write. Yuki mentions that if Nodoka wins the championship in an online mahjong tournament, a lot of high schools might take her in. Yuki then quips, saying that if she is still pondering over her future aspiration, Yuki will take her as her bride :heh:. She'll put Nodoka in the kitchen and taco making is a must :heh:

Nodoaka then says that might not be a bad idea...to which Yuki says she feels embarassed and to forget about it. To which Nodoka mentions about iPS (some law perhaps?) where same sex couples can have children. I'll leave that to sink in for a while...but anyhow Yuki goes all taco-minded and wants to have taco.

After Yuki has her fill of taco, she declares that she is going to Kiyosumi High school. Just because their cafeteria serves taco :heh:. Yuki then mentions that in high school you will meet new friends. As it is a new environment, something wonderful might happen!

Saki in the foreground is probably holding the application form to apply to Kiyosumi as well.

Kana probably is going to burst/break down in the next chapter...losing her dora 9 hand in ch 47 and now her kokushi hand in 48...

I guess this is to show how strong Saki's flow/luck is when she's the dealer...

Nodoka: That might be good, too...
Yuki: Huh? Are you serious?
Yuki: Would it be OK to (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) as well, then?
Nodoka: Come to think of it, using something called iPS cells, it seems two members of the same sex can have children.
Yuki: IP...? What would you get if you put that in a taco?
Nodoka: Is that something you'd have to put in a taco?

I'm pretty sure what she's referring to are "induced pluripotent stem" (iPS) cells, which are stem cells that can apparently be used to create sperm and eggs (see this link for reference).

...Yuki actually manages to rattle Nodoka by saying that her taco tastes a bit like Nodoka's breasts. Nodoka goes red and demands to know where the heck Yuki would remember that flavour from... and then has to ask Yuki to please stop licking her lips. ;)

Wow! Honestly, I thought I was wearing yuri goggles while reading this manga, but I'm probably not.

It's all good.

...I don't think Yuki should be taken seriously. It looks to me like all she was doing was joking around and trying to get a reaction out of Nodoka - she was surprised when Nodoka actually responded seriously.

For Nodoka's part, I think the major revelation of the special chapter is the confirmation that she's OK with the idea of being in a same-sex relationship - even to the point of bringing up the available options for having children. She isn't in love with Yuki, although she would probably have agreed if Yuki asked her out.

Nodoka / Saki definitely looks like the couple to watch, but I don't see either one of them taking the initiative at the moment. I think we've got quite a bit of mahjong still to come before we get into any romantic plotlines.

After the energy ran out, Koromo's body start to shine :twitch: Can anyone tell me what is going on?

that part where kana got raped till exactly 0 points is pretty sad~~

I am at chapter 50 where that koromo uses her next special move that land her another tsumo:P
