Toki 91: After Pillow

This chapter's title (ato makura = after pillow) could also be translated as "Before and after" or "Front and rear" or several other generic meanings like that. However, given Toki & Ryuuka's history with lap pillows, it looks like the author just picked an obscure word that has "pillow" in it. So to keep the key word in the title, I went for a more literal translation.

Saki 295: Astronomy

New volumes for all 3 series will be released March 25 so, as usual, Saki will be skipping a few issues and resume early March.
 
EDIT: Igarashi Aguri is sick and there won't be a Shinohayu chapter this month. Toki should still be out later this week. Not sure how much time I'll have to do translations during the holidays but the translation should be ready some time next week? (Toki always takes longer).

Happy Holidays and (in case I can't post again this year) Happy New Year too!

Shinohayu 133: World Tournament 3

A chapter centered on mahjong? A rarity for Shinohayu. But there may be more chapters like this now that the tournament is in full swing.

Toki next week. Perhaps together with Saki.

Saki 293: Universe

The score in the last page was wrong (it said 12000) so it has been corrected in the translation. Ritz also noticed and made a brief post about it so there is no doubt.

Toki 89: Three Ways

Toki. sansha sanyou "three people, three ways" is a saying about how each person (out of a trio) has their own unique way/situation/point of view, etc. different from the other two. The chapter's title is only the sanyou part but the three people in question become clear as we read the chapter.

Shinohayu 132: World Tournament 2

As usual, the original has non-Japanese names written only in katakana. For the translation, I made an effort to figure out what the real names could actually be and I think I got them right but can never be 100% sure.

Anyway, short chapter. Toki next week.
