Saki

Saki Miyanaga, primer año de secundaria, odia el mahjong porque su familia siempre la obligaba a jugar y la castigaban, perdiera o ganara. Por lo que aprendió a tener siempre cero, ni ganar ni perder. Pero su amigo de la escuela media, Kyotaro, la convence de unirse al club de Mahjong de la escuela secundaria, donde conoce a un grupo de chicas que quieren cumplir su sueño de llegar a los nacionales.

Dramatic Japanese mahjong played with lightning-tipped fingers and smoking tiles.

School girls with really short skirts. Wait, why are all the mahjong players girls? Do only girls in Japan play mahjong?

Shoujo-ai melodrama. Sorta.

And math. Mahjong involves math. WHY DOES IT COME DOWN TO MATH?

Well, learning a little bit about the game is pretty interesting through this medium (stress the little part--I'm pretty sure there aren't any detailed descriptions of what people are actually doing, though after reading a bunch and watching the anime a few times, I'm getting some of the terms). This is really shoujo-ai family issues drama taking place in a mahjong setting. Permalink " "
