Saki 260: Pupil 2 (+all folders update)

Like it says at the end of the chapter, Saki takes a break until July. This probably means there will be a new volume release in June and Ritz needs time for all the extra work that comes with it.

Next releases should be Shinohayu and Toki but then hopefully we can have a few more MakoMeshi chapters done during Saki's break.

 
This might also be a good chance to catch up on the other series so all folders have been updated with the most recent chapters and a new folder has been created for MakoMeshi.

Saki
 
Shinohayu
 
Toki
 
MakoMeshi

Saki Biyori
Saki Biyori (chapters 33-76 End)

Saki 259: Pupil

When Nodoka first meets Shizuno and Ako in Achiga-hen, they all share an interest in mahjong and Nodoka is already pretty good at it. But how did Nodoka become interested in mahjong in the first place...?

 
 
Also, there will be a MakoMeshi chapter release sometime this week (definitely before the next Saki).

Shinohayu 104: Coming 2

One of the Mekimeki duo hasn't been feeling well lately and it lasted longer than expected, so sadly Toki takes a break this month. But at least we have Shinohayu. Also, this should free enough time for at least one MakoMeshi chapter in April.

Saki 258: Awakening

In case someone is left wondering after reading this chapter, who are the other three players who also played in last year's final? They should be Teru, Sumire and... Takami? This last one can only be deduced by process of elimination. It can't be another Rinkai because it was said, way back in chapter 56, that Megan is their only returning player. And Kiyosumi and Achiga are of course on their first participation.

Until now, it was not clear if Takami and/or Seiko were part of last year's team. Awai obviously couldn't be because she's a first year. Two of the players chosen by Teru during Shiraitodai's flashback (Unozawa Shiori and Tanahashi Natsuki) were 2nd years, so most likely they were still in the team, but the 5th member was not known. According to this, it must have been Shibuya Takami, while Matano Seiko is a new recruit.

EDIT: Alternatively, Ritz is including Satoha in last year's individual final. But that would mean forcing the meaning of the sentence. To say that there are 4 players playing in the final for second consecutive year and then it turns out one of them was in the individual final, not the team final...? It feels odd...

Toki 66: Jailer

It's not clear what's the deal with "eyepatch girl". We don't even know her name. Some of her lines are rather cryptic, probably making reference to some dark past that hasn't been revealed yet. The chapter's title is also puzzling but maybe it has something to do with her too?

Shinohayu 103: Coming

A bit of a long chapter. Took a while to finish. With cover and color pages down the middle.

What's the next stage for Shino?
