CebuBasilio's Manga Review: Saki

Description as given by MangaFox:
Miyanaga Saki is a high school freshman who doesn’t like mahjong. Ever since she was a child, she would lose her New Year’s gift money during her family mahjong game. If she won, her parents would be upset, and if she lost, well, she lost.

As a result, she’s learned to play in such a way that her score always remains plus/minus zero: not good enough to win, but not bad enough to lose. When we meet her, she’s being dragged to her school’s mahjong club by an old friend. How will a girl who hates mahjong, yet has become adept at the game as a result of her upbringing, survive in this environment?

Manga: Saki

Well in my opinion it's rather unique. I'm sure mahjong players could relate very well with Mahjong's long list of rules and whatnot, but I'm sure non-mahjong players can understand the flow of the manga. Hopefully, it wouldn't be like most sports/games manga, where it's just Mahjong, Mahjong and more Mahjong, which sadly is what I see in the chapters right now. However the art is good and the girls in the manga are quite cute. There's also an echii factor on this one with the short uniform skirts and the lingerie the girls are wearing on title pages.

All I can say is try it since it's still starting.

I don't know mahjong but I'll put it in my "future reads" list...

btw, isn't this in the wrong section?

Well there is no Manga section in the Forum, so this is practically the best place to place it here.

I'll ask the admins to change this to Anime and Manga maybe...

I wasn't admin yet when I posted that...

So Saki, more or less, is about mahjong?

Interesting, I wonder how the author delivers the mahjong rules to readers, especially for those with no background.

Gonna check this out soon. After logging out with Flyff!! ^_^
