Shinohayu 66: A Trail of White Waves

This chapter's title makes reference to the trail of white-crested waves left by a ship moving through the water. Also called 'wake' in English. In Japanese, it can also be used to refer to something that's disappearing or will disappear soon, since the white foamy waves don't remain visible for long.

It's a short chapter, probably due to Ritz being busy with the upcoming volume releases, but here you go:

Saki 201: Cooperation

There are good news and bad news. The good news is we have another complete 16-page chapter. Actually, I can't remember the last time we had one of those "rough draft" chapters, so that's good. The bad news is Saki is taking a little break until May 17th (2½ months). Most likely, this is to prepare for the next volumes' releases in May (Saki 19/ Shino 11/ Toki 5). Still, it's a pretty long break. It would be nice if the author or the editor could schedule this better but no. We should still have more Shinohayu and Toki in the meantime though.

Shinohayu 65: Plover on the beach

Long time no chapter! After skipping one issue, Shinohayu returns at last.

A plover walking on a beach leaves footprints that remain long after the bird is gone but these too will fade eventually. There is a Japanese classical poem (waka) that compares a plover's footprints with memories that will eventually fade if not written down. In Shinohayu, the "plover" is long gone but its "footprints" still remain as memories. However, if the plover never comes back, will its footprints also disappear?

No Saki chapter this month

So it seems Ritz caught the flu right after submitting the previous chapter. Her manager cancelled the chapter's release immediately but Ritz thought maybe she could still make it and started working on it as soon as she could. In the end, it couldn't be though. That's why the announcement was delayed until now. Next chapter should be on March 1st.

Ritz also posted a table with birthdays, heights and blood types for minor Shinohayu characters. It's just names, probably not worth translating but if someone is really interested, let me know.
EDIT: someone added the table info to the Saki wiki so it's all good.

Saki 200: Open

Round 200!! This chapter is called kaihou which means "open" or "opening" and there's a good reason for that, but it feels we just closed a chapter that was opened almost 10 years ago.
