[Requiem-x]

Chapter 10 is finally out in english, and my god, not only is this the best chapter so far, it does one of the things that made the original Saki shine, and in fact, does it better than the main manga right now.

Spoiler for Spoiler:

I'm talking, of course, about caring greatly for the supporting cast, both as individual characters and as couples. At this point, Toki and Ryuuka are right up there with Yumi and Momo in terms of love, with all the deal about Toki's extended power and Ryuuka making her promise not to use it, and as for Toki on her own, I'm genuinely concerned about her now, she's struggling in every possible sense, and it even seems like she has lost her power now, leaving her even more open to Teru.

Something I did not expect at all was to care about Kirame, but wow, this chapter did an excellent job with that, giving her the mandatory backstory, and one that's actually very sympathetic, the poor girl being a sacrificial pawn thanks to her ability ( If Teru's power is rollout, then Kirame's is endure, and really, when you're going up against Teru, that seems to be the best choice.) but fully and happily accepting it for the sake of the team, and even giving the others in the table a fighting chance. Loved when she thought "it's alright" as if she could read Toki's thoughts apologizing to her at the moment. Seriously, biggest bro in the sakiverse ever. Interesting strategy from her school too, going from the weakest to the strongest. If Achiga-hen does get to Awai, we should have one hell of a climax for this match.

Something that raised my attention was Kuro surprised at Toki getting some points without using her future sight in the usual way. Get the hint, Kuro, not everything revolves around Dora.
