ah..., this was a good surprise for me,
from the start i'm curious about who are these girls, especially Shino, when i saw her declaring kan i though: if she makes a rinshan, then this is more interesting than what i expected...
i don't know why i liked so much the character of saki, and in this spin-off i got the same vibes from shino,
even if the artist is different, the personality of the MC turns out really good

post-edit: i was too hasty, i was thinking that shino could be, like, saki's mother... but i realized that the age isn't right...., ah, the spin-off's plot intersected the principal story, but that is so slow

I fixed a small thing and uploaded a version 2 on my blog. In case you want to update the version here too. Sorry for the trouble.

Thanks Akio!

Ughhhh, I love Shino and Hayarin so much.

Thanks again for the scans!

And oh snap! Ending it with a Rinshan Kaihou like a total boss. I can't wait to see how she ties into the main story.

That was quick thanks again.
Rinshan! these spin-offs are really fun, I just wish the main one wasn't sooo slow.

Chapter 16 is up:

Exciting stuff.

A wild Akado-sensei appears!

HARU-CHAN!!!!! cool! Arata approves! Thanks once more Akio.

Baby Yuu looks so cute~ I need more cameos!

Chapter 18 is translated.

With color pages and all this time. They look so nice.

and still no Saki... i want to know how nodoka is doing...
however, this artist is good, the style is a lot similar to ritz's, clean and simple, but the scenes with the bikes are really well made

Woohoo! You're awesome Akio!

Geez Kanna and Shino were so adorable in that chapter.

And we're finally getting a look at more mahjong players. Just waiting on a Sukoyan appearance now of the major players, I think.

We've seen Kazumi Zenno before but I don't recognize the other girls. This chapter was so cute and the girls are having so much fun I wonder if it'll get serious again on the next one.

Shinohayu chapter 19 is out:

"No, wait. It's a typhoon!?"

"It's Mahjong!?"

I was going to quote that too late! haha.
It's about to get real! oh I can't wait >_<

Those are some scary elementary students...

why saki isn't going on with the same care of this?
a manga with 2 good spin-off that get released without tone screen...

"but I already forgot your name" .....what a d*ck! kick her arse Shino.

Why is it that there are so many jerks at nationals? o_o

BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST A GAME IT'S LIFE ITSELF!!

"You're late, do you know how much I charge per hour?" Imagine that without any context, lol.

.....heh.....

Did Shino just troll the girls who lost?

Did not know people still fell for that

oh no, page 33 is hurting me

Chapter 24 has been translated. Without spoiling anything, let's just say it's a fairly surprising development that potentially puts one character VERY close to reaching her goal.
