I sure wish they make a Shinohayu anime. It will be awesome and I think it will bring a lot of new fans to the franchise. That's because there's no need to have watched the previous seasons to get hooked by Shinohayu.

Anyway, thanks to the staff for uploading the chapter.

Oooh. Those last few spread pages gave me chills. Very sweet, but also very cool. A battlefield awaits.

Though some people may complain that it causes the story progression to drag, what I love about Saki is that there are no true "minor" characters. Every character has a personality, every character has a story behind them. Saki's world is wide, vibrant and endearing. I love it.

And thanks to Akio for the scans!

I translated Chapter 15: Yue 3. You can find it in my blog here:

If someone could upload it to the site, that would be great.

To be honest, I'm not sure if the Upload Request feature is exactly for this purpose or for requesting new series to be uploaded.

The upload request is mostly for the purpose of new stuff, but if we fall behind on something (usually due to uploading delays or just being busy) then it can be used to give us a reminder.

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.

Akado from Achiga finally showing up :o After having seen Achiga-hen and everything, it's really interesting to go back and see what kind of monster player everyone was before they grew up/went pro. >.>

For a spin-off that has nothing to do with the main characters of the first series, this is as good as it gets, lol.

A wild Akado-sensei appears!

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

Chapter 17 translated:
http://michinoakio.blogspot.com/2015/02/shinohayu-chapter-17-girls-of-yumachi-2.html

Baby Yuu looks so cute~ I need more cameos!

Chapter 18 is translated.
http://michinoakio.blogspot.com/2015/03/shinohayu-chapter-18-girls-of-yumachi-3.html
With color pages and all this time. They look so nice.

Wow, jerk opponents who made it to the nationals. :P

Get 'em Shino ;_; I really want to see some of Mihirogi's gameplay though. I've only ever heard of how amazing she is and that she destroys people.

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:
http://michinoakio.blogspot.com/2015/03/shinohayu-chapter-19-girls-of-yumachi-4.html

I Hope we get to see Yue become awesome soon. That closed Honitsu though, I always try to call the Honitsu/Chinitsu and get ronned for telegraphing so hard. :P

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

"It's Mahjong!?"

This girl is something else, lmao. That said, I want to see how Akado and Mihirogi''s play styles really badly now. I wonder if they can just sweep everyone like Teru can. Plus... Mihirogi's fans <3
