Saki 210: With All Her Strength

For some reason, I always assumed Yuuki already played mahjong before meeting Nodoka. But looking back at the special chapter in volume 9, it makes more sense that she didn't. If Yuuki had any interest in mahjong before that, she could have joined Takatoobara's club immediately. But she only does after Nodoka mentions mahjong is her hobby two months later, too late for the Intermiddle. This ties well with Yuuki's thoughts in this chapter.

On a funny note, I like Toki's joke in page 2. She says it so seriously, even Ryuuka doesn't know what to think!

Saki 209: Reason & Toki 35: One Arrow

Saki was almost out by the time I was done with Toki so I thought I'd just release these two together.

For Toki, the chapter's title of 'One Arrow' does not literally mean 'an arrow', it's a set phrase. Firing back an arrow has a meaning of 'symbolic retaliation' while being under attack by a much stronger enemy. A single arrow probably won't change the outcome of the battle but it symbolizes some kind of counterattack, no matter how small or hopeless it may be.
