Ritz's blog post 19.12.22

There was a new Ritz's blog update and it contains a major correction to Saki chapter 212. In page 15, Teru's tiles are pinzu, not manzu. So that means Teru doesn't have the 7m after all (not all tiles are visible though).

Before (left) and after correction (right).

Saki's two-month break is for making corrections to the next tank.

"Since this time there are fewer corrections than in previous volumes, maybe I don't need to take such a long break?" Ritz asked her editor. "Not a chance, I don't trust you." the editor replied. 😅

Questions & Answers
- These are the colors of the uniform of Japan's representatives to the World Junior Championships.

- Mizuhara Hayari's intelligence

Hayari is more intelligent than any other character (including background characters) that has appeared or is expected to appear all the way to the last chapter. However, this only means she's very good at taking exams. It's that kind of intelligence. 

- Mixed race characters
My own family lineage comes from Tokyo, Japan since back to the Edo period. But my uncle and male cousin are 100% Germanic. I have been around white people ever since I was little so that might have had a strong influence.

- Chapter 202, Nodoka had tasted Saki's cooking.
Nodoka went to Saki's house after the joint training camp and had some of Saki's cooking. She found it delicious. Nodoka doesn't know about Kyoutarou's usual cooking skills so she can't really compare them with Saki's. But to the extent of her repertoire, Saki's cooking is better than Kyoutarou's.
 

Shinohayu ch46 cover

- You found the location for the cover on Shinohayu's ch46? Amazing!
Maybe it was better to save it for the lieutenant's match in the final and have them go there with some excuse.
If the original place is in France, Ritz might be talking about Myeonghwa and her lieutenant match.

- The background on volume 1, page 136...
Ah, this isn't Nagano, right? Sorry. I mixed up background locations for Kiyosumi and Takatoobara. I knew the place from watching cops and criminals chase each other on TV when I was little, so I got excited and warped the location.

- Chapter 143 cover

It was like "Hey, let's have a meeting of semifinal A's captains". So they all met in Osaka and a journalist took that picture... I think, but why the angle? Ako, Mairu, Toki and Tajihi were there too for some reason.

 - Kazekoshi's 3rd year club members
There are others besides Mihoko. They don't have a bad relationship with Mihoko but they aren't close friends either.

Saki ch143 cover

- Toki's hair color.

I always use Toki and Ryuuka's RGB numerical value from the anime. But in the first pilot edition this hadn't been set yet.

- Nodoka still has and sometimes still wears her middle school uniform.

- Suehara's spats (leggings).
Suehara herself likes wearing spats.
