Saki 237: One Arm

Saki is back after two and a half months and next week we should have the spinoffs too. New volumes for all series are being released as well.

Little recap, the sergeant match just ended and we plunge straight into the lieutenant match. Hisa broke an arm in an accident but fear not, her skills are as sharp as ever. Mahjong? No, I'm talking about her flirting skills, of course... 😉

A few no-pan shots in there. Thank Ritz or look forward to the Igarashi Aguri version.
 
Shinohayu cover but it's Saki inside.

  1. Thanks for the chapter. I thought Hisa would be a bit clumsy with her left hand but she has smooth moves.

    1. I wonder if she trained to play with either hand or was ambidextrous to begin with.

    2. The only "confirmed" ambidextrous person in sakiverse is Shiratsuki Shino so far.

  2. Thanks for the chapter. Still mad at those damn reporters.
    I love characters design and their interaction, but it's sad that Saki would be unappropriate to read outside my room.

    1. Agreed, Saki could do without the pointless nudity.

    3. Good Sir, it wouldn't be Saki without that nudity or inflated boobies.

    4. To each his own I guess. ^^

    5. Speaking of nudity, there was a comment from Ritz saying the curve of the butts was drawn too directly. Ritz would prefer to add richer screentones but feared the editor-in-chief would get angry.

      Essentially, the reason the butts look so "plain" (a single curved line over white background) is the editor's fault. If it was up to Ritz, they would have more detail.

  3. Thanks for the translation. Yeah, those choe and hajime shots are a bit too much for my tastes... Oh well.

    1. "Haven't released a chapter in over 2 months, I better draw lots of bare butts" must have been Ritz train of thought lol

  4. Thank you for the chapter!

    It looks like Hisa is the last dealer. Between Choe's S winds and Takami's "seeds" I feel like she'll have a lot of bad waits to choose from....

    1. Wait, maybe I wasn't paying attention. I think Ako is the last dealer.

    2. Yes, dealer order should be Takami > Hisa > Choe > Ako.

  5. "Thank the Ritz or wait for the Igarashi Aguri version", I don't understand what you mean. Does this author also make no-pan manga? As I recall, he does the manga Bambo Blade and other derivative works of Saki. And honestly, I only follow Saki for the non-pan parts, it's been a long time since I've been paying attention to Saki's story, if it wasn't for the non-pan, half-naked or nude parts I certainly don't see this manga anymore . even Japanese illustrator Rui-Rui, who creates excellent Saki art, stated live on pixiv that he also hasn't followed Saki's story for some time.

    1. What I mean is Achiga-hen, which is drawn by Igarashi Aguri. Achiga-hen follows the plot of Saki but without nudity or huge boobs.

      There are plenty of differences between the two though so it's not exactly a no-nudity version.
