Shinohayu is the only series this month (as expected) but the chapter is longer than usual at 36 pages. Toki hopefully will be back next month. Before that, if possible there will be another MakoMeshi release, probably around mid-January.

Saki 254: Bearing Fruit
Ritz made a blog post a couple of weeks ago with a few answers to reader's questions. Nothing too important but I wrote a translation below if you are interested.
- The players from the Evergreen team (other than Akado): one of them joined a pro team while the others either moved to a different corporate team or quit mahjong and became normal company employees.
- Kasumi might keep the record of largest breast size in the series until the end.
- Toki and Saki Biyori are treated as canon.
- I have files and notes with birthday-related info that hasn't been released. I'd like to put it all together someday.
- When Mairu speaks to Himeko in chapter 189, she uses polite language because in her mind she is no longer club president. (At the end of the chapter, when Mairu says "Let's play in the same team again sometime" she uses the polite form instead of the casual one.)
- In cover 2 of volume 18, the person behind Kainou Yoshiko is Shiratsuki Shino.

Saki 252: High Speed
It's South Round in the Lieutenant match already. If they can avoid dealer repeats, that's only 4 rounds left. Or 3 plus the critical Last Round. But Hisa may not even last that long...

MakoMeshi 20: The Dongpo Pork of That Day
Finally, I completed this chapter which I've been trying to do since September. Hopefully, next one won't take as long. Ideally, I'd like to do one chapter a month or so but depending on the other series and such, it may vary a bit.

Toki 63: The Strong 2
Note that for this chapter there is an additional page at the end with translation of the background text on page 18. It's just something extra, not necessary to understand the chapter or anything. But it was too complicated to insert into the page itself and Mekimeki made the effort to write all that so I wanted to include it somewhere.

Saki 250: Intense Pain
At the end of last chapter, Ako tried to tell the others that cooperation is essential if they want to avoid a potential series of yakumans from Takami. How will the other two respond to Ako's silent request for help?

Achiga 42: Lasting Impression
As stated in the previous post, the Achiga series will go on hiatus for an indefinite period of time. This is the last chapter of this part of the series. The reason for the break is apparently to prevent Achiga-hen from catching up or overtaking the Saki main story.
It will probably take years for the series to resume (if it resumes) but you may remember that Achiga already ended once and then surprisingly restarted many years later. So it may happen again.

Saki 245: Made by Nature
This chapter has everything. Like, literally everything a Saki chapter could have: ridiculously large boobs, Kunihiro's butt, panels without tone, panels with tone, flashbacks, color pages, scoring mistakes, Kunihiro's butt (worth mentioning twice), panels with only a sketch, weird sci-fi stuff, ominous silhouettes... and even mahjong (a little bit). Well, I guess there is one thing missing and that is Saki herself, but you know how that works...
