For those expecting plot development in Saki, I suggest you rethink your expectations, based on recent happenings. At first, we thought Ritz had totally spoiled us with the final episode of the achiga anime, thinking it clearly showed the dark lord and boobs had made it to the finals, but now we know that isn't the case. Right now, Achiga is wrapping up the third match if the semifinals, and unless Ritz decides to pull another Teru time with Awai, we have about 3 or 4 chapters more for the semifinals, and let's face it, that's the time it takes in the main manga to finish the first hand of the first match, so if Ritz wants to avoid massive spoilers, one of the manga will have to take it slow, and currently, my money is on the main series for that.
Altough... I really do hope we get another Teru time with Awai, I really, really do, but considering how slow the main series already is...
P.S: You better show us (and Haru-chan) what you're made of this time around, Arata!
