Saki 291: Rabbit Cage & Toki 87: Beautiful Woman

Initially, I was going to release Toki first but they ended up overlapping so it's a double release!

Saki's chapter title is a very obscure Japanese word and it's not clear from the chapter why Ritz picked that title but, in my interpretation, Saki, Shizuno and Awai are the "rabbits" trapped in Nelly's "cage". Could be something else, I don't know but anyway here's the chapter...

It's been awhile since the last Toki chapter but we are in the middle of the "match of the desperate" with Yokeguchi Yayoi and Shirosaka Kaori as main opponents...

Shinohayu 130: Easygoing

Some of you may remember, Murayoshi Misaki is the announcer that appears next to Noyori-pro in the main series manga/anime. I'm just saying because it's been so long I definitely didn't remember her name when I first read this chapter.

Toki will be next...

Saki 290: Fate

The Japanese word for 'fate' is made of the kanji for 'life' and 'luck'. Life's luck. Given that the concept of luck plays an important role in the chapter, this is clearly intentional.

Shinohayu 129: Public Security

Curiously, this chapter may have the highest number of male characters of any chapter in the series or even the entire Saki franchise. On another note, Mekimeki is still sick so no Toki again this month.

Shinohayu 128: A Change of Air

No Toki chapter this month, on account of Mekimeki feeling unwell. At least we have Shinohayu.

After getting lost in the mountains due to Shizuno's ability, Awai remembers what happened on that day or more like on that night...

Toki 86: Regrets

Toki and Ryuuka are is on the magazine cover. Besides that, this is a very short chapter probably due to the newly released tankobons. Also for the same reason, no Shinohayu this month but this was expected.

Saki 286: Consecutive

Ritz pointed out a mistake in page 3 (the tile was a 6m instead of a 2s) but no worries I already went ahead and fixed it. Enjoy...

Shinohayu 127: When the birds return

This chapter's title is originally in English so I decided to not modify the cover page at all.

Also, two extra pages are included at the end. They show the goods made after the results of the character poll, featuring the top 10 characters in swimsuits. Reservations are open until June.

Shinohayu 126: A bird returns to the old nest

This chapter follows after 124b (or more like 124b is really chapter 125). This is different from what they did last time when they didn't skip a number, so you never know what to expect.

Ritz pointed out an error in the tournament bracket. This has been fixed in the translation.

And, as expected, no Toki chapter this month.

Toki 84: Stagnant Water

Shinohayu 124b: A bird takes flight at your feet

This is chapter 124, same as last chapter. Probably, a mistake from the editor but since I've no idea if next chapter will be 125 or 126, better to just leave it like that. And to give the file a different name, I just call it 124b.

The chapter's title (a bird takes flight at your feet) is an expression for "something sudden and unexpected that happens near you or to someone close to you".

Toki will be next.

Saki 284: Love

The last hanchan begins. The winner of the Interhigh will be decided here. However, before that, there is a new volume release in April. As always, to give Ritz time to do all the usual pre-release work, no new chapters until then. Patience...

Shinohayu 124: Green Harvest

The chapter's title "Green Harvest" is used when speaking of companies recruiting university students long before graduation or, in the original sense, buying a rice harvest long before it's ready to be reaped.

Toki 82: Amplitude

Happy New Year everyone! First post of the year!

Two notes on this chapter:

The cover has Nanami sitting alone in a fancy cafe, as if she was waiting for someone. Mekimeki asked on X who could she be waiting for, then added the most voted character (Shimeki Natsu) to the picture. This alternate cover is included in the file, at the end of the chapter.

Also, a reminder that the Sonezaki Rine that appears in the rankings in page 13 is Senriyama Middle's club president who has appeared in a few chapters. The two names in grey are unknown, probably just filler names.
