Saki 279: Under the Stars & Toki 79: Good Opportunity

Saki. The original title for this chapter (星行 seikou) is one of those poetic words with a very specific meaning that are never used in normal conversation. Ritz often uses these kind of words for chapter titles. In this case, it means something like "to leave the house very early in the morning when it's still dark and the stars shine overhead". The only thing that matters here is the word "star" since, in case you didn't know, Oohoshi means "big star" and Ritz usually uses star-related words for anything Awai-related.

Also, Ritz pointed out a scoring mistake which was corrected in the translation.

 
Toki. Mekimeki did their best coloring Toki's eye in page 4 (it's an important eye...). On the other hand, you'll notice that in Saki's color pages, the coloring is too plain (Ritz admitted to that and promised to fix it for the volume release).

  1. Thanks for the translation!
    But still, yet another yakuman power... I'm getting a bit bored of those.
    The Toki chapter was cool though.

    1. Yeah, I see your point but with these monsters if a power doesn't get you yakuman, you're toast.

  2. Thanks for the chapter. Future Toki met past Toki.
    I was expecting the yakuman, but never though it was that specific one. After all it's rarely used.

    1. Tsuuiisou is very rare, yes. But Big Seven Stars was half-expected given Awai's connection to stars.

  6. So, the last yakuman hasn't shown up yet, obviously the 4 kans yakuman. Maybe it'll happen in the very last round where Saki directly hits Awai through a daimin kan.

      but yes, the daimin kan, very reminiscent to saki hitting komoro

  7. is it the end of 1st hanchan or not? If so, it seem impossible to Saki to win except with miracles.

    1. Not the end yet. We are in South 1.
      And then there's the whole 2nd hanchan.

    2. Who are the dealers in the next south games? I hope it's not one man show again. It's look like Nelly, Saki and Shizuno are going to be seriously to stopping Awai's moves in the next chapters.

  8. On a different note, the translator that dla did the saki re spin off(its the male one) finally did the latest chapter. So we're pretty much done with all the saki manga
