should we call RIIIIIITZ! because she didn't finish toning the pages or praise her because this chapter was at least full length and had no rough lineart?
James Johnson
What would you cut?
Hiroe (dealer) calls riichi
Kevin Gonzalez
Yuan keeps the dora and drops the safe 3pin, but the earlier discard (4 pin) backfires.
Jack Peterson
another Kubo page.
If you picker 3 or 6 man in you lost.
Ian Evans
Yuan is in tenpai at last, but the wait is not good and she has no yaku.
Repeat after me, like Nodocchi did: "4 dora and no yaku, it's time to call riichi, right?"
Isaac Rogers
...
Julian Murphy
she draws her winning tile
Lincoln Gutierrez
Poor Hiroe, Yuan had 5 of her winning tiles, she got hit by the dealer penalty, and lost the riichi stick too.
Next chapter in two weeks, with East 4 and Hitomi as dealer.
Nicholas Taylor
>inb4 this is the last hand that Yuan wins
Samuel White
She's not that strong, but perhaps she will get a lucky streak and win some more.
Jeremiah Davis
I hope that both Hiroe and Sera choke with Yuan and Sheep taking the 1st and 2nd places.
Aaron Powell
or perhaps some of Toyone's magic is still in the air.
Sera calls riichi, Hitomi pursues and wins.
Hiroe calls riichi, Yuan pursues and wins.
Jason Lewis
TOC - Ritz is location hunting again?
Tyler Sanchez
175 chapters and Saki's past is still mostly a mystery. Hoped for some more info, but welp. It's fun either way.
Jeremiah Morris
Finally Yuan win
Daniel Lewis
It's not yet time - Ritz wanted to draw loser-hen, so we will need to wait a little longer.
Justin Bennett
And here I thought there will be no real magic in this story.
>Ritz wanted to draw loser-hen Does she enjoy bullying Yuan this much?
Nicholas Perez
Nah, she's got a boyfriend (me). So she can't win.
Josiah Collins
>Yuan It's all about the Ryuukas.
Jacob Rogers
and Ryuuka's butt
Angel White
how long until futaba snaps?
Logan Young
RRRRRIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTZZZZZZZZZ!!
Henry Richardson
we will not witness it since we are already dead
Isaiah Taylor
As expected of Ryuuka, today her butt is fine as well.
Juan Young
We don't use that word.
James Rivera
(1) Ritz just loves all of her characters so much that she wanted to draw the losers one last time. (2) Ritz never got to draw Senriyama and Shindouji since they were Achiga-hen characters, so she wanted to show she could outdraw Igarashi. (3) Loser-hen is part of a plan to stretch out the main series so there can be simultaneous anime series for Saki, Toki, and Shinohayu in 2019 - therefore allowing Ritz to take over television. (4) Ritz is on the mangaka gravy train with this long running series and is just stretching it out to her retirement.
Wyatt Ward
>写真に寸法を書きこむアプリとレーザー距離計とGoogle Earthと200g以下のドローンと >"I want apps that write dimensions in the photo, laser rangefinder, Google Earth, and a drone below 200 g." Expect lots of delays this summer for wherever Ritz is going. Back to Nagano for Miyanaga reveal? Or preparing for world tournament? At least the series will shift out of the Tokyo Convention Center.
Another transgibberishlation: I believe that in the future (something).
Adam Lewis
nice catch Ritz should have drawn Yukiko with her boobs pressed against Yuan's back.
Nathan Brooks
>米田 未来 Junior Achiga #5
Jordan Gomez
mini-Kyouka! power of the bun
Ryder Jenkins
a nice Toki collection bonus points for the wood blocks
Isaac Green
Ritz wants to be a bird.
Juan Brooks
end the suffering
Luke Morgan
She wants to ascend to the heavens, watching down on us mortals burn around the mountain of corpses on top of which Saki will bloom.
Carson Lee
>East 4 The 5th place match is single hanchans, so there's only E4 + the south round remaining. It might be possible to finish lieutenants in 2-3 chapters unless someone goes on a dealer streak. Some of the recent chapters were short, so volume 17 might still end with the lieutenants match, though Ritz likes to end the volumes with cliffhangers.
It's an older meme, but it checks out. Shall we let it slide, lord user?
Landon Evans
sure, games are fun
Adam Lee
don't trim the horn
Grayson Evans
What! Leave the hair alone! Long hair Teruru is a miracle of the universe!
Jace Moore
Sounds like something that will result in dumb drama, but it can't be too bad since the result is already known anyway. I'm running out of content tho, which feels weird after putting whole Saki manga off for years.
Anthony Torres
We've been running out of stuff to talk about for the last 2 years, even though all 4 manga series are doing OK. This franchise needs something to generate enthusiasm. The live action TV + movie weren't enough.
William Lee
>This franchise needs something to generate enthusiasm
Maybe Ritz could consider actually advancing some of the plot threads that haven't been resolved since the beginning of the very first issue of Saki.
Bentley Ward
Ritz should take a gamble and tie up the Saki-Teru arc. Don't be afraid of the future; there are lots of interesting directions for the main characters (world tournament; magical mysteries; other skeletons in the closet, Niemann, Shino, etc.)
Brandon Martinez
Hajime spinoff!
Hunter Lopez
world tournament in Norway; reunite with the Arctander cousins
Samuel Diaz
the mystery of enlarging breasts?
Zachary Cooper
>plot threads that haven't been resolved since the beginning of the very first issue of Saki.
Like pantsu for example. Do they exist after all?
Colton Garcia
go bigger!
Nathan Perry
how big will 3rd year Awai be?
Landon Morris
They're obsolete. It's a fashion faux pas to wear them, just like wearing clothes made from raw animal hide is now.
Andrew Hall
supernova double full exploding tanks
Sebastian Butler
There should be time for character / plot development between the end of 5th place and the start of the finals. Hoping for Goldfish name reveal, Saki's mom appears, Shino as Mahjong Association President.
Evan Ross
That's not what "bakunyuu" translates into.
Nicholas Robinson
Hajime!
Dylan Bell
she sparkles
Jace Bell
Toki...
Wyatt Rogers
next thread for TL
Julian Adams
it's not dead, it's moving!
Christopher Carter
I told you already, we don't use that word! Next time I'm going to bust out the memes, you've been warned.
Kayden King

Dylan Diaz
How long will this irrelevant 5th place game finish?
Ayden Richardson
Ch 153 - end of semifinal Ch 154-160 - interlude Ch 161-165 - 5th place vanguards Ch 166-172 - Saki + Teru / Teru flashback Ch 173 - 5th place sergeants Ch 174-176 () - about half of 5th place lieutenants So maybe 10 chapters max to wrap up 5th place.
Evan Rogers
It's been a few threads since I've reminded you of this: You will never (be) impregnate(d by) any of the Sakis, Tokis, -hayus, biyoris or Ritz's.
