Saki 296: Square

I wonder if the team final will end this year. Probably next year...

  1. Thanks for the chapter. I noticed on page 6, the score board has Rinkai -9000, instead of -900. Minor typo compared to the recent score errors Ritz had.

    1. Agreed. There's no way Nelly would get that many minus points.

  2. Thanks for the translation!
    It's quite impressive how much this match has redeemed Awai, she's one of my favourite characters now... Although, killer move n°8 is a bit much.

  3. If Awai gets 18,600 points straight from Shizuno in the next chapter, then the match will end in a (possible) Shiraitodai victory. I have a feeling Ritz won't.

    1. it's pretty much guaranteed that she won't do that. nobody wants shiraitodai to win without saki/shizu having done anything major

  4. Whenever we see 3 players' hands but not the fourth, I'm always inclined to believe that this fourth player will win the hand. So yeah, I totally expect Awai to once deal into Shizuno this hand.

  6. Ty for the translation. Interestingly, I think this was the first mention of Saki's grandma here and it's kinda cool to think that mahjong is a multi-generational skill with her family. I'm guessing the grandma is from Saki's mother's side as that would neatly tie in Hikaru's previously mentioned skill in mahjong.

    1. We have heard about Saki's maternal grandmother, she's a foreigner (Norse IIRC) with the surname Arctander.

    2. Ah that's right, I forgot Saki's mom wasn't full caucasian, but just half.

    1. Pretty sure that's the girl from Achiga-hen who caused Awai to get serious and show her double riichi power in the video Haru used to figure it out.

    2. pretty sure the girl who caused awai to get serious and show her double riichi power was Takami, because awai didnt want to lose in points gained :)))))
