Saki 189: Succession

Someone uploaded the translated Saki chapters to MangaDex. Thank you~ I've been wanting to do that for weeks but always kept leaving it for later. Too many chapters. The other series too.

It's like the cover from a future Shinohayu chapter
many years from now or something, not that I know though.

v2: OK I've made a change to the joke in page 7. After Sawaya asks if she can drop the honorific, instead of calling Kyouko by her name or surname, she suddenly makes up a name for her as a joke. On top of that, it's not even a girl's name, it's "Saburou" which also means "third son". It's so obvious now but it took me some time to figure out Sawaya makes up that name out of the blue. I kept thinking "Who the hell is Saburou?" 😅

Saki Biyori 75-76 End

The last two chapters of Saki Biyori, the second one in color!

It was fun but now it's over 😢. Saki Biyori lasted for roughly 100 chapters (counting the ones from YG) and was published for almost 7 years, quite a long time for a spin-off gag manga. 

I can think of quite a few totally hilarious chapters but one of the most memorable things that came out of this manga (at least for me) is Koromo's birthday song (short version) ~Koro tan yay~. I will always remember that.

Saki 188: Resolution

I wrote something below but it contains spoilers so don't read it before reading the chapter!

By the way, I'm working on the last two chapters of Saki Biyori but didn't have time to finish them. They'll be done in a week or so I hope. Sorry for the wait.

Toki ch20: Test

As in previous chapters, there are times it seems "Malefic Star" is used to refer to a group and other times it's just one person. The text is a little ambiguous on that part. I'd say "Malefic Star" might be a group after all, but it seems a member of that group can also be called/call herself "Malefic Star".

In any case, it's a nice chapter:

Saki ch187: Imitation

This is one of those chapters where if you take the time to look at the player's tiles and each of their moves, you can understand a lot more than what transpires by reading the text. I love chapters like that. Of course, a certain knowledge of the rules of riichi mahjong really helps. Sometimes I wish that the characters would explain more, it's usually up to the reader to figure most things out. But it's also great when you notice such things on your own.

Also, I wonder if we'll see Limitless Heaven in the Toki manga at some point.

Saki ch186: No-self

This chapter's title is a bit complicated to understand. The original term is 無我 muga, which means "no-self". It can be used to mean a "state of complete self-effacement, free from obstructive thoughts". Even "trance" or "spiritual awakening" aren't too far off. It can also be used to refer to the Buddhist concept of Anattā (non-self). The chapter also contains a reference to Maitreya (a future Buddha). I suggest you look up pictures of sitting statues of the bodhisattva Maitreya to have a clear picture of Kasumi's words in the chapter.
