Only Shinohayu this month.
No Toki (planned) or Biyori (unplanned?).
It's almost like Biyori got cancelled.

Cover girls for upcoming 3/24 volume releases:
Shinohayu 9 = Yuzuha in Senriyama uni
Toki 3 = Izumi

Biyori 7 = SakiNodo
Bonuses to be announced

Finally Shinohayu 54
真影 = Portrait or Photograph

Shino at home with Uncle and Pawn Shop Guy

Shino playing the role of housewife.
She spots a mystery envelope on the table.

Shino thinks it's a progress report from the Tokyo detectives searching for her mother.
But that's not the case.

It's photos left behind at Nana's workplace in Tokyo.
Uncle had them send it, but he doesn't have the courage to even open it himself.

Shino wants to see it.

And there it is.
わあ = Wow.. (Waa...)

It's a picture they already have a digital copy of.
But having a print copy treasured by Nana makes it more meaningful.

Shino searches for a picture frame in the closet.

Good night, pawn shop guy.

Shino having an emotional moment.

"Are you OK?"
"Yes"
(no, she's not)

Good night, uncle.

meltdown

There's only one cure for this heartache...

... mahjong!

...and friends too.
end Shinohayu 54
next chapter 3/24
Toki is back next month, and perhaps the last Biyori ever.
next Saki chapter next Friday 3/2.

>Biyori got cancelled.
Heterohayu is next, followed by Toki and Saki.

There was an interesting anti-Saki rant thread on futaba last week:
futalog.com/541642313.htm
Main points:
1) Is the Saki franchise really as good as other long running popular series?
2) Is live action enough to save it from declining sales?
3) Is the fanbase really interested in the storyline or only the (lewd) art?

Will strongest DJ finally win something?

BG is also the home of Saekano: Koisuru Metronome

>clothes worn by Ryuuka
Izumi already won this round.
Next chapter will probably be Sera losing to setup the entrance of Final Boss (Hiroe).

>Ring king
I know this isn't the thread but god this series is a waste of good art and best girls.

>cancellation of promised Biyori chapter
This is becoming a disturbing trend.

>3/2, not 2/16
I need my 5th place mahjong fix.

It's like he doesn't know how to place the p0n0s to the vag00.

and jam it in.

heh

Or Toki losing to setup the gradual transition from her past genki to future melancholic self.

Shino has enough plot armor to destroy an army.
No way she doesn't win the individuals and return to Tokyo to search for mama.
And if she's good enough to beat Chihiro, she may win Zenkoku individuals.

But does she have enough plot armor to destroy a one girl army?

Chihiro the gomi hand girl is not a problem.
It'll be interesting to see who awaits in Tokyo.

>Is the Saki franchise really as good as other long running popular series?
Most long running popular series are awful. Saki is tanoshii at least.
>Is live action enough to save it from declining sales?
No idea on this one
>Is the fanbase really interested in the storyline or only the (lewd) art?
Both? I don't really give a damn about the fanservice, tournament series are always fun.

>It's almost like Biyori got cancelled
Good, I don't really dislike it but it doesn't have much to offer besides CGDCT. Most of the time you could just change the teams and it would still be exactly the same.

I wonder what was in that second picture frame?
Probably "The Letter".

>Mother, are you doing fine? I'm fine. Every day is fun. But I miss you...
>I'm home!
>Welcome back.
>Welcome~!
>Mister from the pawn store, you're visiting us today too?
>Sorry for the trouble, and I do mean it.
>You waited for me to eat dinner?
>Even if you tell us to not wait...
>Can't exactly just oblige, can we?
>You really didn't have to wait for me. The rice is done already.
>I mixed it around properly!
>The bath is ready too.
>That's very thoughtful of you.
>Ah... That's right...
>Well, you see...
>It's from the guy in Tokyo who's been searching for Sis' location.
>The detective-like person?
>Yep.
>Is there any progress!?
>No... Nothing.
>But he found a bunch of photos at Sis' old workplace.
>So he send those to me.
>Photos...
>I've been wondering if I should talk to you about them or not...
>Since, you know. Stuff that brings backs memories of Sis'... How should I say it...
>"Shino would be sad"... That's the kind of stuff I was thinking.
>I'd probably have been too scared to show you the photographs, really.
>This is the guy who pawned those precious mahjong tiles off! Do you know how much that kind of stuff sucks for the pawn shop owner?
>Shut up, you.
>I'm... fine.
>I want to see them. Photos of Mom...
>Wah!
>Shino-chan, you're really strong. This guy here started crying when he saw that picture.
>Hey!
>Oh, and also.
>He'll email us some photos Sis' colleagues from her work took later.
>Actually...
>I have some photos stored as well. But I've been keeping them secret.
>Eh? Why?
>So you don't end up pawning them off as well.
>Pawn off what, data?
>Is it okay if I put this one up?
>...You've really been holding it back until now, huh.
>Ugh.

Although unfortunate, it's probably a good time to stop Biyori.
With the main series going into the final soon, a spinoff gag series undermines the seriousness of the main characters.

>There should've been a photo frame somewhere in the closet, right?
>I think so?
>I think it was somewhere near the hot plate...
>You've got a hot plate? Let's all have some teppanyaki sometime.
>Do you need a hand?
>I'm fine.
>3 years ago I've been living here all on my own.
>Didn't really have much of a chance to use it. Could probably put it to use now though.
>What, never had yakiniku on your own?
>If you're on your own, slightly sear the meat in a pan, and dip it in sukiyaki sauce.
>Goes really well with rice or eggs.
>That's full-blown sukiyaki right there.
>See ya.
>Good night.
>Later.
>Looking good.
>Yeah.
>Are you really okay?
>Yeah.
>There is no need to be concerned.
>...I see. I'm glad.
>Well, until tomorrow then.
>Good night.
>Night.
>I'll do my best, Mom.
>Whoa, creepy.
>You love mahjong tiles way too much, as always.
>In full bliss.
>Good morning~
>Uwaa (Rena)
>G-Good morning.
>So, let's have a game right away!
>A junkie, aren't you...
With her resolve reaffirmed, she chases her "youth".

>two chapters with crying as focus
It hurts. But it hurts so good, I love the way Igarashi draws her characters crying.

Thanks for the TL

Remember when the first Rinkai biyori killed all of their menacing feel?

>who awaits in Tokyo
old friends
Shino has cried enough to fill a canal to carry her from Matsue to Tokyo.

It established the fact that autism is a prerequisite to play high-level mahjong.

>photos from work
If any photos include Nana and Niemann, we could be in for a whirlwind of activity the next time Detective Shino (pic) ends up in Tokyo.
>Shino wins Zenkoku individuals
No way. She'll be too distracted with the mom search...
... and if she ever figures out that Chiyoko is the daughter of the detective, she may end up taking frequent road trips to Tokyo.

We should redo the finals grid using goofy Biyori images.

>Chihiro
Shino has never beaten Aina either.

next issue - three Saki series with color something.

thanks for the dump and the translation

The horn.

>シリーズ3タイトルカラーで登場
>3 series titles appear in color
I think this is a first for Biyori.
No wonder it got delayed. Maybe it's just to have a nice sendoff for Saya.

I wonder if it's really Senriyama, or if it's just a very similar uniform for Asakumi's rival HS in Shimane (forgets name...).

Kasubuchi HS

February birthdays

seems like Senriyama for me

good catch

...

Teru & Saki are Ram & Rem.
It all makes sense now.

enjoy the end of the Olympics

we missed Teru's birthday

toki thread, toki fanbase, toki Biyori

When is Tales of Wedding Rings coming out, anyway?

>Don't pray. We do not seek salvation from God, but we perform miracles in His stead.

Ron, head bump.

I want to see Ryuuka and Utaha costume swap cosplay.

Now that I think about it, both have been dressed in just a button shirt. That counts, right?

They've both done maid costumes, right?

I read the main story mostly due to inertia, but it sure is fun orbiting around the stellar fanservice.

>662
What did Mekimeki mean by this?

Cheating isn't a miracle.

Fuck off Akagi.

At what point did Toki start to place the riichi sticks vertically?

Did we? Check the archive.

I love this kinda shit. It's meaningless but makes Toki stand out somehow.

RRRRRIIIIIIITTTTTTTZZZZZZZZ!!

chapter 3 of Toki
and Ryuuka smacked her for it

Looks like she just smacked the sticks down.

There was a thread for Ritz's blog post on the 14th. Sae's birthday was mentioned, but not Teru.
desuarchive.org/a/thread/168480920/
No real threads since then, since Ritz delayed the Saki chapter, and Akio hasn't released anything except live Achiga subs.

This belated birthday must be fixed.
To the futalog!

wooden blocks are falling down, falling down, falling down
my sick Toki

...

...

...

...

If there's a new spinoff to take Biyori's place, I hope it's a continuation of the Teru + Shiraitodai flashback.

...

Prediction: finals are 1-Shino, 2-Aina, 3-Chihiro, 4-?
Shino wins, and is so excited over finally beating Aina that she forgets about Chihiro.

...

>Shinohayu 9
+1, or +2?

>maids
Saki definitely - officially in the main manga
Teru - only unofficially afaik

...

complete

see you next time
