Pro Hayarin!

Her birthday is 07/13 while I'm 07/14.

Character heights and birthdays? Let's see:

* Wow, that's extensive. Literally every named character from the main series and Achiga-hen is here.
* Hey, I share a birthday with the Ikeda triplets! And Aislinn!
* We now know the given names of Saki's father and Nodoka's father (Kai Miyanaga, Kei Haramura respectively), as well as Kazumi Zenno.
* Does anyone remember when Yuuko Satou and Kenta Mishina were announcers? Because I don't.

Apparently there are translation of it, courtesy to TMNBE:

http://tmnbe-scans.blogspot.com/

"Right now, looking at how much I've written for Shinohayu, there's enough for hardly enough for four volumes. I'm terribly sorry to those who were expecting elementary school or the inter-high, but if I could, I'd like to draw like 100 volumes for the elementary and middle school years. I'm not sure how that could get cut down, though."

... So does that means Shinohayu's next chapter is time skip to High School?
I just hope it won't be rushed...

edit:
>シノハユはいざ話を書いてみると４巻分でまだ余裕で小学生で
>インハイ期待してる人にはホントにすみませんというか
Ritz says Shino and the others will not even have graduated from elementary school yet at the point of volume 4 and Ritz feels sorry to those who can't wait to see them become high schoolers and fight in the Inter-High.

(cred /a/)

More Shino/Kanna goodness I hope.
...I'm fine with 4 volumes of Shino/Kanna interaction~

"Rinkai has no other exchange students."
... So those four are... 'specifically imported' or what? :P
I always thought Rinkai to be International School where Japanese is rare creature there... hmmm.

Satou Yuuko could be the one announcing with Hayarin during "Inter High Battle Highlight Program" where she asks Hayarin about the side-b semifinalist and Hayarin talks up Usuzan.
Mishina Kenta might be the Nagano male announcer.

It appears I am this commentator (based on date of birth)...

http://saki.wikia.com/wiki/Eri_Hariu

First time a character anime I know has same birth date as mine, though I don't if I should feel happy or not as the character is just a side-character (side-commentator even)...
Well, at the bright side, finally a character with birth date the same as mine...

Kokaji sukoya, didn't expect that

I think they imported just for Mahjong Interhigh

I'm envious! Sukoyan is one of my top favorite Sakis.
On Rinkai's circumstances, yeah. 4 of them are imported players, scouted by the coach.
... I kinda wonder about Choe, who's a world class player... she's 2nd year but not in the team last year...
... I do vaguely remember Sukoyan mentioning they has been East Tokyo rep for 15? consecutive years... I forgot whether they did all gaijin team or not, though.

Congratulations.

Funny that we didn't get Rinkai's coach's names yet. I wonder why...
And no Shino and Kanna's dob... Well, they'll be revealed sooner or later...

[night_sentinel]

For Shinohayu, Ritz said the story was barely enough for just 4 volumes? Huh. Imagine that.

As for the birthday, mine is Nov. 9

... I think the closest is Nov. 10. Unnamed side character from the Student Council. Natsuki Shishiba. And 11/08 .... Izumi.

[RJ TAYLER]

Matsumi Yu shares my late father's birth-date and is the closest to mine irl.

[Requiem-x]

I don't share birthdays with any of them T_T

So am I, Kanna is such an adorable tsundere and Shino is just adorable. But wait, does that mean we're staying in their middle school days? What?

Here are a couple other quotes from Ritz, courtesy of /a/

Personally, I'm fine with doujins and itasha. In fact, I'm thankful for them.

And Ritz's reputation continues being well deserved.

I won't answer any questions about later developments, but I'd like keep working up to the individuals

Guess this finally confirms the individuals will indeed be relevant.

Everyone at Shiraitodai has their own rooms, and are free to return to their homes whenever they like.

God knows what goes through Teru's mind in her alone time.

I once wanted to draw fantasy or sci-fi, but now, it takes more effort and skill than I have, and I'm not very motivated to do it. I'd been asked to draw a sequel to one of my past series after its short run finished, and I'd refused, having realized the limitations of my own abilities.

She makes it sound like writing Saki is easy. And yet she goes at snail pace for the main series

[raincrow]

Wow, I got freaked out. The character that has the bday closest to mine also has my rl name contained in theirs, and we're the same height http://saki.wikia.com/wiki/Haruna_Tatsumi. Closest 'main' character for me is Shiromi.

Congrats Eri is pretty cool too. I like her design and interactions with Uta.

Well, technically considering how the chapter titles so far is "Shino", I wonder if Ritz will implore other school protagonist, too. In their elementary years. Loli Sukoyan and Loli Risa pls.

Yeah, Kanna and Shino is adorable, their Biyori chapter will be glorious.

On the individuals, I always thought they're relevant, although there were people that was doubting since hurr anime only content. I guess it's Ritz' answer to such doubts

"I'd been asked to draw a sequel to one of my past series after its short run finished."

I wonder if she referred to 'Fatalizer'... translation never.

"Everyone at Shiraitodai has their own rooms, and are free to return to their homes whenever they like. "

Huh, aren't Shiraitodai and Shindouji boarding schools?
... What is the point of being in boarding school if they're allowed to come home whenever they felt like?

I wouldn't mind seeing loli Ikuno myself.

I want Shino to teach Kanna how to cook! Or at least make dinner for her. Either way works.

The less pink haired protagonist we get the better.

When you're housing the queens of yuri mahjong, you need to be quite liberal, or at least, be able to overlook, quite a few things, I'd assume.

[King-Slayer]

Chapters out.

Just a short set-up chapter and the introduction to Mary Poppins...er I mean Choe. Also Hiroe and Hisa got a glimpse of Choe's secret garden there.

[Requiem-x]

Well, isn't Hiroe a loudmouth? Hisa, please show her who's the true boss around here.

Quite a sexy entrance from our new threat, and boy, Hisa sure looks excited to be facing her. I wouldn't be surprised if we actually get a shot of Mihoko getting the chills anytime now

Also, did anyone else notice

Spoiler for Chapter 120:

The words on the final page mentioned "the tough girls" but only showed three players? They're really pushing the whole "Usuzan=Shindouji" thing.

Also, what the hell was up with that first page? For moment I thought I was reading scam translations.

[Flower]

Annddd ... Ventere arrives.

For some reason I thought she was the #5 player at first, then someone corrected me. Hmm.

Well, let's see what the wind god can do. ^^

Must admit I do want Hiroe to get her head handed to her by Hisa, though. -_-

While I don't share the same birthday with any of the Sakis... mine is between Choe and Fujita-Pro... come to think of it... Harue Akado and Arakawa Kei birthdays are also close.... heck, we can have a week long birthday party... yey!!
