Oh! Oh! On Ritz's blog, it seems that the new manga with Ritz + Igarashi collaboration is another tie-in with Saki.
The story is currently unknown but will be in the same pace as the main manga (15 pages in two months?) It's a tie-in with Achiga-hen but high speculation is that it'll star Awai. (Mainly cause Awai was the one illustrated) http://www.sciasta.com/ritz/ |

Here's the translation:
Thank you for all the mails after my accident. I am sorry that I can't answer them at all! Thankfully, I am fine now. I now have to do some comic fix-ups and get some promotional drawings done. Been working hard to back to the planned manga chapters. Aside from the announcement on Gangan (New work with Igarashi), I am also in charge of giving the new work a name. I don't draw many (titles) for our publisher. Although I've received plenty of email invitations and that my pacing of the weekly is 'unreasonably' slow. I don't want to draw anything in particular except Saki. I don't want to slow the current pace of Saki main series. I am sorry for refusing to answer anything about this. The new work is related to Saki. The gist of it wouldn't fall from the pacing of the main series. I'll come with with a finalised name when I have it down pat. Sorry about Awai-san's junior years being in a new work instead of being covered in the main series. Courtesy of someone from /a/ Last edited by Serperior; 2013-03-12 at 13:29. |

Kobayashi Ritsu is saying that Awai's middle school's story is scheduled in main series (and not in the new spin-off story), so I'm kind of sorry.

Teru and Awai starring together in a new manga? OH MAN. More fanfic material for me to pump out and deconstruct to my (sadistic) pleasure. This is indeed a boon I'm going to roll around in.

You know, since the Awai thing was sort of a misunderstanding, there's a chance we might be all bracing for maximum trolling. Watch n horror as Ritz makes an entire mini-series about Usuzan to hype them as the ultimate dragon to vanquish.
I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm jinxing it, I would love to see more of Shiraitodai and see Teru's side of the story, but I have a bad feeling about this. |

that's a design for her 9th grade uniform. (3rd year middle school) It says so in Japanese edit: actually Ritz says that that uniform design is not intended for the new series they are talking about. Sorry .

Well, so guess people misunderstood about Awai part as well. However, if it's really about Awai's middle school years, then perhaps Marina2 was right in case Teru came from a different middle school as Awai. I'm more incline to think the focus isn't Awai herself, but someone with a connection to her similer to how Nodoka isn't the focus but has a connection with Achiga-hen. Why else would Ritz made a suspiciously specific denial about this story not related to Awai? |

Actually, I think doing anymore team "x" side story at this point doesn't make sense. It worked with Achiga because we never know them before and it gives an introduction to side-a. But Rinakai-hen, Shiratodai-hen Uzusan-hen???
We already know that they will be in semi-final /final and Ritz can just introduce and give their backstory in the main manga. So I hope for - Kokaji-pro side story about how she becomes 2nd best player in the world . (or story about her in the world tournament)
