Then just look at this blog link. It'll give you the same info. (It's just in Japanese.)

Personally I hate it. It is totally hack luck based, and abuses the protagonist advantage to no end. At least with Akagi you could see the reasoning, the mental manipulations going on behind his every move. Even though there were many instances were luck favored him he was never a one trick phony, always adapting to the situation at hand. Maybe that's why I find Yumi's character more compelling than her table companions.

Here's a couple more blogs of c52, with more pictures. (And a cover of an Ikeda doujin. Poor Ikeda. Everyone loves to see her get beat up, it seems.)
http://u7se1218.cocolog-nifty.com/bl...8/-s-05d5.html http://beatarai.blog90.fc2.com/blog-entry-1490.html As much as I like Saki as a character, I prefer Nodoka's and Yumi's playing styles, because they're more grounded in reality. (And wouldn't make a statistician drink drain cleaner.) I also like Hisa's style, because it's based on screwing with the minds of everyone at the table. If you look at the stats of everyone in the tournament, Fukuji did the best overall with +42,000, but Hisa was right there with +39,100 in second place. (And Hisa didn't have the "All-Seeing Eye.") She just picked bad waits, got a little lucky, and suckered in poor lil' first-year Bundou-san into going for it at every bad opportunity. Last edited by cynicalicious; 2009-08-07 at 20:04. |

As for hack luck based, we knew since ep. 4 that Saki knows all the tiles in the dead wall just as Koromo knows the last tile in the wall. I'm just wondering how people can have yakuman specialties... Maybe they know where the terminal and honors are in a wall?

That's no monster. That's just ridding the game

now I know how to watch this already:
once u reach round 5, always expect the impossible, eg yakuman 10 times etc:P. I think beside saki, koromo, and that invisible girl, others playstyle/abilities could happen in real life for now. even that invisible girl is actually kind of true too in real game, sometimes u play for long time and u ignore someone's presence, especially if that guy always throw something useless, it happens more often after u play like 6+ hours mahjong (but of course not as exagerrated like in this story) |

Whoo. That's interesting! Guess Jindai will be a mini-boss before the final boss of Teru.

The seriousness of Saki's game face in that page makes it more dramatic similar to ep. 18 as opposed to, well, the anime in ep. 19. The anime made me laugh though mainly because Saki looks like she took the wrong turn and it's a mahou shoujo reveal scene slashed with a demented mahjong demon face. Makes her look like a psycho axe murderer except instead of killing people, she kills mahjong players' dreams. With a smile.

My thoughts, they overdone it way too much in anime.
I hope manga will now focus on some aftermath instead of sweat things like anime. I'll welcome some decent ceremony (wtf was that in anime) and I don't believe journalists will leave them without word .... but maybe I'm hopeless optimist.
