Shinohayu 63: Pechvogel

This chapter's title page seems connected to the one from the last Saki chapter. Since Shino used to live in Yokohama and Uta is also from Yokohama, I guess it's possible they crossed paths at some point without noticing each other. It's also funny to compare the same Shino drawn by Aguri and drawn by Ritz.

The chapter's title, needless to say, was already like that in the original. It literally means "bad luck bird" in German. Hmm... bird, huh?

I like putting chapter's notes here because it's easy for me to edit them if I need to. And if this helps someone notice some extra little detail or understand something that wasn't clear enough in the chapter, then I'm glad.

Saki 198: Awe

Continuing with the series of younger versions of random characters, in this chapter's title page we have... Shino! (back during her elementary school days). Also, judging by the kimono, I'd say that's Uta in the background. Otherwise, it's hard to say.

As for the title, I think the most accurate translation is "awe" although it could also be called "fear". But fear of something grand and sublime like God or a very important and powerful person. It's not the same word that would be used to describe "fear of spiders" or "fear of ghosts", for example.

The horror begins!

I'd like to add a few additional chapter's notes but to reduce the risk of spoilers I'll put them after the break.

Saki 197: Defense

Counting the first 3 chapters, which had different numeration, this is the 200th Saki chapter!
 
The girls on the title page (which has no relation to the rest of the chapter) appear to be the girls from Kentani High School wearing their winter uniform. Miyuki Tsubakino (left), Kozue Furuzuka (right) and the one in the background is probably Sumiko Yorifuji.

Toki 27: Necklace 2

The original version doesn't say if Hamumu is a 'he' or a 'she', but it felt a bit weird and forced to see Ryuuka calling Hamumu 'it' all the time so I went with 'he'. It probably doesn't matter anyway.
