what a nice style, simple but expressive...
i read the doujins in this reader before the original, and, like someone already wrote, i didn't understand that saki and nodoka were the main characters, due to the scarcity of sakiXnodoka,
and this is one of the few manga where i love the protagonist...
now, while i'm waiting to know saki's (tragic, for sure) past in the original, it'd be nice to read more doujin like this (and more bucap too, of course)

i know i have problem to remember japan names, but i really can't connect the childrens in the flashback to the actual pro, i don't know who's who, someone can help me pls?
ah, except the idol ...

None of the actual pros (adult versions of themselves) are there (excluding Hayari the Idol Pro).

For now, there are three main character arcs:

Shino Shiratsuki.
Kanna Ishitobi
Hayari Mizuhara

Shino is the girl in the last page of chapter 0. She is the main character of the Saki Shinohayu series.

This page here depicts the semi-final match. So it's probably safe to say that Shino appears in the final match with a few/some of them. Ritz K. will probably answer most of your questions once there are more chapters.

Random interesting fact. Hayari actually tries to recruit Harue for her personal pro team but Harue chooses to coach Achiga instead. (This is in the Achiga-side of A storyline, so I thought it might be nice to put that here. It's not a spoiler, so I think it's safe.)

thanks, i was so sure the characters depicted in that image at the end of chapter 0 were in the flashbacks, that i couldn't see the obvious, namely that they were different persons.

never played fate/x, how is it? there are a lot of spin-off, what the best to try?

"that empress is my mom"... every person want to introduce his own mother with this line,

it seems there were some developments, but this chapter ended tsundere too (probably is better like this)

this was freudian, especially the ending

I love ritz-san
i don't want main story going to end
I want to read this series forever >w<

We all need that monthly mahjong!

there are the national individual and, after, the world (as in capitain tsubasa-like manga), then the end is far,
anyway, i didn't know about this spin-off, probably because there isn't the link to this in the Saki page,

with all this characters, all with the same importance, 2 schools with their own serie in the final, it isn't so obvious who will be the winner (and saki's team haven't any coach or help from a pro, even if they have Hisa),
i think i can predict the result: saki's ability to break even will reach a superior level

how long will the MC be the "strainght man" of the plot ?
i'm sure she has a background story, and i'm curious

a post on videogame in a yuri forum... i can't believe no-one mentioned Gone Home,
i fear that only to mention it it's a spoiler (if you think so, please delete this comment),
it's more like to read a book than a game, however it's a very nice game

there's a lot of "pathetic" people in the world, but i prefer to call them weak-willed, or shy,

That just makes it sound slightly nicer :P
Low self-esteem too, I guess.

right! and i'm proud of my low self-esteem...
however, that was only my 2 cent, and, plot-wise, it's a matter of tastes,
for example, tsundere are often used to delay a development in romance, but a good writer can build a tsundere, but honest, character

finally Nodoka !
i recently read all saki and i can't believe how much i'm addicted; i, even, have seen the anime for the part that aren't in the manga ( specifically, the buchoXcapitain on the roof),
if there was saki in this match, what kind of weapon she had? probably an uzi, with her consecutive kan.
anyway, Nodoka is the best

i always trust the judment of people of Dynasty, infact even this shonen is a good read, thanks

there's a lot of "pathetic" people in the world, but i prefer to call them weak-willed, or shy,
and a good ending for me is when the weak person accept his weakness, without change them,
apart from the MC, i really like the other girl, she is a character very far from cliche, after all this chapter i can't still catch her personality (thanks to a good writing)

this mixs comedy and seriousness really well, and appear that there's a plot above the episodes (and probably some interesting twist, given the numerous spoiler above),
i'd like to have the book for read it in one go, i have to learn japanese instead of english

i missed kurogane ken so much!

Okay, not sure why we have a trap here

obviously, because s/he's an M (however a Madoka's cosplay was better on her)

that was really fun,
perhaps is OT, but, isn't it better when sound effect are left original, like in this, without erasing and redrawing, and with notes under the frames ?

i was overjoyed to find a sci-fi completed,
is this really cancelled? on baka-update it says it's traslated till the "end" chapter.
i can't stand anymore to start reading sci-fi and mystery manga and never finish them

post-edit:
and now that i have finished reading, i'm even more displeased, even if it isn't an original idea, it's more profound than how it seems at first,
it's a little late, but i really really hate this society where only money-making things can exist, and applying this rule to arts is the worst shame

thanks for all your hard works, i'll do what i can to help

Which brings me to my last point: Can you name me one dictatorship in the history of ever that has worked out well?

"Mussolini made the trains run on time."

i'm italian, and you can't believe that there are people in italy that can say that NOT for joking and w/o sarcasm.

however, the only "not totally bad" dictator that comes to my mind is fidel castro, but there are a lot of dictatorships masked as democracies

i can't image where this will go, if it's a slice of life, it will be difficult to find good ideas with this setting,
and it's strange that it didn't leave the reader slowly understand the setting, because it's already in the title and in the opening.
i think the plot is only an excuse to draw some good illustations with vampire beauties in the middle of ruins and debris, and this is good enough for me

this feels like 20° century boys, it's more ironic, and self-ironic, but to me it seems as epic

@ Horn:
great avatar! i love Lucu Lucu

this manga is good, but yae is an unbearable character, the worst is at the end, when she say that in highschool she was waiting for the other to talk; it's like to say yoshino was the one at fault,
furthermore, i get a message from this story : even if a girl can't have a child, if she sleeps with a lot of men, she can,
and i don't think that was a good excuse to fool around, while there someone who loves you and feels bad about it.
but love is blind, and all in all it's a realistic story.

i don't really care about tags, but i was thinking that one about legs fetish is needed, not only for this manga,
if there's glasses (the other fetish of mine), then why not legs ?

"That seems like such a convenient solution....
that the adults will get mad at us."

I think there is a lot of depth in that line. I'm curious how well the author's meaning is conveyed.

i totally quote this
