New Spinoff: Saki & Final Fantasy XIV

There is a new Saki spinoff manga (how many is that now? 8?) called Saki & Final Fantasy XIV. As the title indicates, it's a collaboration project with the FFXIV game. Main story seems to be Saki, Nodoka and Tacos travel to the world of FFXIV (as their game avatars) to play mahjong.

The author is none other than Kiyoshi Saya, author of Saki Biyori, and it's released through the MangaUP! phone app (not the same app as Saki re but a different one). First two chapters were released this month and from now on it will be one chapter each month. Both Saki and Final Fantasy are owned by Square Enix and there was some mahjong in FFXIV already so it's a natural collaboration.

Currently, there are no plans for a translation but who knows, if Saki takes another long break or something, I might do it someday. Or maybe someone else will.
