So it's been a while, but the recent release of volume 5 (of the manga) hooked me back into this series and I just wanna ask--can I get a 'hip hip hurrah' for IPS cell technology? lol. If you ain't sure what I'm talking about, I'm not sure if I remember it being animated for the anime but refer to the bonus chapter at the end of volume 5 (of, again, the manga).
To add some substance to my enthusiasm: these are what I'm talking about. But there's more. Click on either the "Projects" tab at the top for direct downloads, or the "Saki" tag at the bottom of the post for descriptions first, but here are five (count 'em) toothe-achingly sweet and moe-tastic Hisa x Mihoko doujins for your viewing pleasure. The Ikeda and Momo x Yumi doujins are decent too, but the Hisa x Mihoko ones are just incredible. lol, I'm gushing exactly like their author--it's wonderful to see real, inspired and dedicated enthusiasm. But back to the IPS children. I'd already seen a couple of the original pics by Shoushu over at Danbooru, but with that second 'Will you marry me' doujin I linked above, it looks like the idea has transcended artist boundaries and is now firmly entrenched in fan canon. I just love how Saki's mangaka threw us this great idea and the fanartists really went and ran with it. Misa and Saho are too damn cute. Anybody else feel like squeeing with me? edit: Thank you very much to whoever gave the +rep. Just to clarify, these are scanlated, non-H doujins so they come highly recommended to anybody who enjoyed the yuri aspect of this series. As for the mahjong aspect, as I mentioned in the manga thread, the original version of the material is pretty exciting too! (Despite my earlier posts in this thread, don't want to give the impression that I'm only here for the yuri :P) Last edited by Sol Falling; 2010-04-08 at 19:29. |

So... I watch this series... again... for prolly the 25th+ time. This time, only to make myself feel better from my shoddy mahjong play...
Funny how watching Saki makes you feel giggly about mahjong all over again.

Re-watching right now, and Episode 15 is even more hilarious on re-watch. 2 Demons, Demonhunter and Ignorant Catgirl - who let Catgirl in????!!! And Catgirl insistence on that she is demonhunter and ignorant comments are very very funny in facepalm-worthy way. She knew about Koromo yet didn't any conclusions on what to wait... Yumi definitely did and she discerned what she is dealing with in case of Saki in 2 hands and she wasn't completely defenseless against Koromo too.
EDIT: ... Episode 16... ... ... Now, on re-watch it stopped to be hilarious and became painful to watch... poor, poor ignorant catgirl... and I'm just on 4:06.
