parental neglect
1st day of 5th grade.
Class assignments in elementary school are regrouped every two years (1/2, 3/4, 5/6).
Toki hates changing classes.
Suddenly, Ryuuka.
>Clean scans
Sweet
Toki is bewildered.
Why is this girl giving her so much attention?
Finally here!
Lonely Toki
The teacher arrives.
Ryuuka oddly knows everything about Toki.
Toki knows nothing about Ryuuka.
Or her mysterious pendant.
Rare male Saki character.
Japanese schools are arranged to maximize bullying and alienation.
Toki hates these group assignments.
Surprise! Toki is chosen 1st by Ryuuka.
The rest of the class is mystified.
Ryuuka is popular; Toki is not.
Moving desks for seating by groups.
Now Ryuuka is next to Toki.
>Dereliction
Toki going all thesaurus on this bitch.
Toki is overwhelmed by all of this attention.
painfully shy and anxious Toki
Ryuuka is pretty and popular.
Toki is worried about hate from the other pretty and popular girls, as we will see in Chapter 2.
Jealousy begins.
First day of school ends.
Toki is suspicious of Ryuuka's motives.
Toki's peaceful walk home is interrupted.
A chase ensues.
Toki is found in the playground.
No escape for Toki.
Jumbo slide is scary.
Ride 'em cowboy!
The gem in the pendant is red.
>Stalking
>Indecent touching
Call for an adult Toki.
The lilies are blossoming.
Ryuuka's feats of strength amuse and confuse Toki.
Toki abruptly gets to the point.
Ryuuka's reply is mysterious and confusing to Toki.
muni te kara?
an offer of friendship
YESSSSSSSSSSS TOKI IS HERE
pretend friends?
slightly cruel subtext
Maybe Ryuuka also had a bad past experience with these class changes ().
Toki is entranced and captivated by Ryuuka's offer.
But Toki is still suspicious.
A yubikiri, and Toki's guarded counteroffer of friendship.
mental wheels are turning
hearts are dancing
Toki smugface
A new era of tanoshii begins.
End Toki Ch.1. Waiting for Toki Ch. 2 TL.
Also Saki Ch. 162 leaks later this week (7/15 YG).
futaba loved this
Mekimeki art is excessively lewd in a completely different way than Ritz art.
Mama Atago's birthday = July 11
I want to give Hiroe and Kinu a new baby sister.
Toki's future mahjong coach
Nice.
Akio's got the HQ scans so chapter 2 should be out sooner right? And then we get main Saki, and then Shinohayu/Tokihayu/Biyori again. Life is sweet.
Ryuuka came back from the future to stop Toki from dying, right?
Ryuuka has some sort of hidden agenda for seeking out Toki's friendship. I think Chapter 2 explores this a bit.
I sure hope the hidden agenda isn't lesbian attraction, because of if that's the case it isn't very hidden.
Probably those other 2 girls were bullying Ryuuka in 4th grade, so she decided to form a rival gang.
Ryuuka seems pretty popular so I don't know. It could be she wants to convert her into a mahjong player for personal gains.
I want to feel Ryuuka's lips wrapping around my dick.
>Saki Ch. 1
Saki is toki? Toki is Saki? What does it mean?
RRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTZZZZZZZ!!
Oops.
Here's Toki Ch. 1
Toki and Ryuuka meet.
New year, new school.
These manga series start kind of the same.
Rare male Saki character.
...
Everybody hates mahjong.
Ritz is actually pretty good at drawing guys. Rare for somebody who's lesbian.
Except Toki.
Toki is a good girl.
Compare Ritz vs. Igarashi vs. Mekimeki Ch.1
Mekimeki > Igarashi > Ritz
Igarashi still sucks though.
Ritz is not perfect but she has gotten substantially better.
Tbf nobody knew what Saki was when Ritz started, and she had to get to the action quick so the reader wouldn't get bored. So it's different from Mekimeki or Igarashi who basically have "take your time, the readers are already hooked" attitude.
Igarashi has improved since Achiga.
Let's count all the things Toki is so far:
(Gold)fish
In the darkness (toki)
Saki(bloom)
Waiting(Hisa)
Is she tacos? Seaweed? Irrelevant male?
Ritz shows improvement when she wants to.
There's all the half-drawn unshaded chapters, but on the good side, all of the bonus art and character "upgrades".
Ryuuka's body is for lust.
color
The one-horned devil strikes again.
According to wikipedia:
>めきめきは、日本の漫画家。倉式(くらしき)とてる子(てるこ)の2人組。
>Mekimeki is a japanese mangaka. It is a duo consisting of Kurashiki and Teruko.
So Mekimeki isn't actually a person, but rather two?
Her laziness has nothing to do with her skill level.
>Teruko
RRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTZZZZZZZZ!!
>10 year old oppai monster
Ryuuka is fucking slut
In this chapter she seems more like a creepy child molester who happens to be a 10 year old cute girl.
Some sort of lesbian chimera?
Sounds like material for another chapter of the Ritz manga.
Toki is "taciturn", which has "cat" and "turn" in it.

Semi anime when?
Shinohayu anime when?
-Teru- when?
>lesbian chimera
What about -Richardson-?
/trash/, where it belongs.
>Spring 2016: weak season
>Summer 2016: so far, looks kind of weak
They keep missing chances. I'm afraid that by the time of the next Saki anime, it will be running against something new and popular.
What the fuck did you just say?
Just read Usagi Drop.
Would be gay as fuck.
I said "hets and males please go and stay go".
This thread isn't allowed to die early.
The irony would be too much.
But living is hard.
Reminder: You will never (be) impregnate(d by) any of the Tokis, Sakis, -hayus or Ritz's.
Any possibility that SqE breaks up Shino/Toki/Biyori? It's a lot of content just for Big Gangan. Maybe they'd move Toki to GFantasy or Joker to spread the tanoshii more evenly over the month.
sakisan is actually a strange girl compared to most of the other charatcers, right?
And I'm not talking the whole evil demon destroying hopes and dreams thing.
Posting some futaba finds.
cute Naruka & Yuan
