Saki Achiga-hen 21: Revival

I was really curious about the new Achiga-hen so I did this one first. According to Ritz, roughly 70 pages of Achiga-hen have been drawn already but it was divided in two chapters, this one and the one from next month. The magazine cover and a couple of pages with character "intros" are included in the file but have not been translated. We all know these characters already and new readers should begin from chapter 1 which can be found elsewhere.

We've known this for a long time but Achiga's greatest advantage over the other schools is Harue.

Regarding the new Saki-re, which also started publication this month, Ritz had to say:
- The Saki manga and all previous spin-offs take place in the same world, but Saki-re takes place in a different world. A world where boys are generally strong at mahjong.
- This world was created by the author (Sakurako Gokurakuin) using Saki's "Nagano-hen" as a basis.
- Characters relationships and the flow of the games should stay mostly the same.
- Ritz worried that simply changing the character's gender would make it nothing more than a parody, but some things have been removed and others have been arranged to give it a more natural feeling.
- Ritz says we should think of it as a shounen manga with boys doing club activities.
A translation can be found on mangadex.

    1. Yes, it's supposed to follow the main story so it's mostly the same stuff from a different angle.
      Still, there might be little hints of future events once it gets closer to the current point in the main story.
