Hmm, an interesting development. I had heard that the manga was going quite slowly, but I didn't realize it still wasn't far along enough, even after two years... o_o;;;
Since I haven't read this spin-off, I wonder how much of it there is. Enough for one or two cours perhaps?
I am a bit disappointed (seeing as I wanted to see the national tournament with Saki and her older sister), but as long as I get to see a bit more epic mahjong, it should still be be cool methinks... ^_^;;;
O-O~ |
Hmm ... interesting. I had heard that they might base it on the Saki Achiga Hen manga. I have only read ch 1 of the manga (I think that is all that has been published?) but found myself enjoying it.

Hmm ... hadn't thought of that - very well could be.

It's still possible that I'll like the Saki spin-off, and I'll probably check it out, but a lot of what I liked about the Saki anime was the characters. If they're not there, then I'm going to have to be won over anew by a cast of characters that are new to me.
That's certainly possible, but it's not a sure thing, like my fondness for Nodoka, Hisa, and Saki herself.

Yeah - to be honest I was more interested in seeing Saki at the nationals finally battling her sister. -_-

It's true ... she does ... sort of as the catalyst character for the other main characters of the spin-off. (I hope that was not too spoiler'ish?)
