A new Saki spin-off manga called Someya Mako's Mahjong Parlor Food has been announced. The author is Mekimeki and it will be published in the Young Gangan magazine (like Saki) starting on the 7th of June. It looks like it could be a food porn manga with some mahjong elements. The serialization of Toki by the same author will also continue. Akio Translations will probably translate the first chapter, but afterwards I'm not sure.
EDIT: Spectacular Scanlations on Mangadex will handle the translation.

I
must say I'm very surprised at this development. I imagine most people
are. A new spin-off, yes. But Mako? And food? I didn't see that one
coming. In any case, this could be like a Kiyosumi side-story with
Saki, Nodoka, Hisa and Tacos having plenty of screentime. More than
they do in the main story nowadays. That's if the story takes place in the same year as the main story of course.
What the!?
ReplyDeleteWhat's next? 小蒔-Komaki-?
Don’t forget Katsudon-san—I mean Fujita.
ReplyDeleteSo true. Mahjong + food = Fujita-pro. ;)
DeleteTacoss umee
ReplyDeleteAkio, would you mind if I took up scanlating this when it comes out? To split the workload, since I assume you'd prioritise Saki chapters anyway.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind at all. That would be great.
DeleteDo you have a scanlating name/group?
Spectacular Scanlations on Mangadex. I finished Ritz where TMNBE left off, for what it's worth.
DeleteOk, I'll leave that to you when it comes out.
DeleteGood job on the Ritz manga by the way.
Can't wait for the reveal that Mako only had subtext with Hisa because of a hamster too.
ReplyDelete"That's if the story takes place in the same year as the main story of course."
ReplyDeletei'd say it's likely, given Mako wears Kiyosumi 2nd Year uniform on the promo material
would be nice if you still copypasted translated chapters to this blog so we will have concentrated sakiverse in one place :)
ReplyDeletedidnt see this coming, thats good idea but I want to see Eisui Girls spin off...
ReplyDeleteNext, I would like to see something about fishing with Matano Seiko as main character. Definitely funny.
