Saki 191: Tenhou

So just to add a little trivia, Tenhou 天和 is written with the kanji for "heaven" and the kanji for "winning a hand", so it basically means "Heavenly Hand" or "Blessing of Heaven".

Shinohayu 57: Two School Years of Difference

Lots of foodstuff mentioned in the early part of the chapter, but all these dishes have articles on Wikipedia and elsewhere, so I didn't think it was necessary to add footnotes. The hot plate for teppan-yaki, Shino found it in chapter 54.

Gotsu, mentioned later in the chapter, is the city where they have the prefectural tournament. It's also the home of Komosawa Middle.

Saki 190: Final

Ritz made a brief blog update to apologize once more for some of the panels on this chapter... but hey, at least we have a chapter and it's already amazing we made it this far.
After all these years, final(ly):

Ritz-sensei's blog post 18.05.07

Ritz has just updated her blog and Himeko's winning hand is this:

San'ankou (2), Menzen Tsumo (1), Riichi (1), Dora (3), Uradora (3) and Red Dora (1): 11 han. If we also assume Haitei Raoyue (1), it's 12 han like the Reservation Key said.

The high out with the 9-sou would have given her Sanshoku Doukou (2) and Ippatsu (1) but removed 1 Dora and Haitei: so 13 han, a counted yakuman.

However, there's a problem with this hand! At the beginning of chapter 189, the announcer says "even one Uradora would have been enough", which implies Himeko had zero Uradora, but in the hand above she has 3!! I rechecked the original sentence and it's clear the announcer implies Himeko didn't have any Uradora. I also checked some japanese sites and anyone who tried to guess the hand is surprised because naturally everyone was assuming zero Uradora. So that's a contradiction that will have to be corrected in the tank.

After Saki Biyori ended, Kiyoshi Saya came up with 5 ideas for a new work. One of them was a new Saki spin-off and Ritz initially wanted Saya to do that one. However, the other 4 were for original works and Ritz thought that Saya would have more freedom to create jokes and stuff with an original work. So Ritz restrained herself and pushed for an original work. She's looking forward to it.

Tajihi Mayuko in the anime.

In the latest Saki cover, some pros (Hayari and Uta) have come to visit the peninsula of Izu. For some reason, Hayari is wearing her high school uniform. Also, Ritz confirms that the girl on the cover of Saki 188 is Tajihi Mayuko (who was defeated by Awai at the West Tokyo qualifiers). She went to Kyoto to visit her family home on her mother's side.
