The 21st century is host to over a hundreds of millions of mahjong players around the world.
A large-scale national tournament is run every year in Japan
where members of high school mahjong clubs strive to be the best,
vying to become a professional players.
This is the story of the girls who have their sights set on the peak.
Here I go...
We do not know if Yuuki can catch up.
Looks like it's Yuuki-chan
You're right.....
Yuuki.. Yuuki.. Yuuki..
It happens by chance
I became a member of the mahjong club
May I join the mahjong club?
I have to try harder
To meet my sister at the nationals.
Through mahjong
I can talk to my sister.
Father
If I win a national team-level tournament
Can we stay here?
President, your dream is to win a national team-level tournament?
You serious!?
Dead Serious!
So, let's definitely win the team qualifier.
Then in the training camp
After accommodation
Finally, today,
high school level mahjong competition tournament.
Kiyosumi High School Mahjong Club, today will witness a change.
Mawaru chikyū no `man'naka' miataranakutatte
I wonder if there is a 'center' in Earth
Kimigairubasho' wa itsu datte sagashi daseru no wa
Wherever you are 'I can always find you'
Boku no kokoro kimi o chiushin kowa kō ten shi terukara
Because my heart's attention is at you
Moshimo namida ga afureru yoru ga kitara
If the night comes with full tears
Hoshi o miagete shimaeba negai ni kawaru
If you look up at the star, it will turn into a wish
Kimini warutsu tsunagu merodī
A waltz connects to you
Hoshi ga nemuru gosen fu nitsu d zuku minai wa
I will not look to the star similar to you
Kimiga kureta no hitori janai sora
You are the one who gave me that we're not alone
Don'na kōkyūna yume yori
What kind of dream
Tatta isshun datte ne
Just try it all
Sono egao ga saikō no gifuto
That smile is the best gift
Kushakushana ai no on pu de
With a crumpled love
Arigatō chū ni matte
Thank you for waiting
Kuresshendo shite ashita e
Tomorrow and after
Kana de okuru kara
I wonder from giving a present
Dore mira i sora e boku-ra odorōyo
Whatever is it, my heart is surprised
Now let me interview you, thank you for having us.
Fujita-pro, which high school group deserves attention?
Of course, the most promising Ryuumonbuchi High School
Ryuumonbuchi known as 4 Kings
Inoue
Kawamura
Kunihiro
Ryuumonbuchi Touka
And most interesting
Amae Koromo
They are the final qualifiers last year
In last game, she is out of the ordinary
If she grew more than the previous year
This year, we do not know how many opponents will play bad
Of course, Kazekoshi All-girls cannot be underestimated
Led by captain Fukuji
Only 5 people selected from 80 eligible
In order to avoid last year's failure,
I hear they got very hard training.
What else is worth noting for other high school?
The rest are losers
No, they are just like a tree seed.
It's true that we are losers
Fujita-pro has no mercy
It does not matter.
We will change that after the end of the game.
Reviewing team competition rules.
All schools starting at 100000 as starting point
5 players playing alternately to fight for points
Any finished second player will replace
If any points lower than zero are considered end of the game.
Then talk about the composition of players
Front row, Yuuki
Pon
Yuuki has a strong fortune
Ron
In the beginning, confusing the opponent is the most appropriate.
Sergeant, Mako
Because you run a cafe, so countless mahjong games you ever seen
No matter what opposite opponents face
Tsumo!
3600.
I am the Minister
President is Minister, not Captain
Minister is the position to control the game
From the breaking strength, controlling the game is more important
Ron.
1000
And Vice Captain, Nodoka.
No matter in any situation has a different response
To choose the best solution depending on points and to the highest winning percentage
Too fast
If the other side is leading and attacking the high score may be too late.
Tsumo.
So,
1300.
In that way, the opponent cannot catch up.
That's..
A little like...
Could it be...
The legend of online mahjong players, Nodocchi.
So the captain appearance...
That's you
Is not at all a problem, if I play a captain match?
Do as the result of our practice game.
I think this is the best tactic.
But...
I believe that you can.
Now the game begins.
Let's have a good game.
The first and second matches ended
Most people guess the opposite.
First time to participate in a team tournament, Kiyosumi High School goes to the finals.
It's easy to enter the final
But thanks to Saki-chan
Not only back to the match
Even in the 2nd round, she beat his opponent with a smile.
Nodoka, Etopen also have the benefits
Yes.
How about taking it in the competition?
Bringing Etopen?
While playing mahjong online at home feels better
Meaning,
holding the penguin, may be the same as playing mahjong online at home.
Hugging Etopen during the game
It's really embarrassing
It seems it's properly accustomed
Well next is final
It will be much harder than now
Do not take it lightly
I understand.
Exceptional victory
Kazekoshi's tradition has returned
She is called the most powerful of the last five players
What the hell was with the last match?
You played poorly because your captain here is pushover!
Ikeda!
What the hell was discard of the 7 pin?!
You should be thankful your opponent was a chump.
Sorry
You fucked up like that last year too, didn't you?
You got hit with a baiman,
and you dragged mud all over our school's tradition.... or did you forget?!
Her miss is my miss.
So just hit me
When you get back, we're having a serious meeting on this, got it?
Everyone, let's sit
Captain, I'm sorry.
No need to apologize
I think you are my pride
Ryuumonbuchi got to the final?
Ah
Their lieutenant returns to a match
also front rows that compete win in 1 round
And the captain match also shows no mercy
They got to the finals.
Thanks goodness.
So we can get immediate revenge
Show them that...
we are the best there is....
The qualifying match is not so fun
No impact
Koromo is already in contact
Still too fast
If she's playing, maybe the result is obvious.
It will be very easy.
Who's that?
I feel the aura like Koromo
That Kiyosumi High School uniform
People like that, nothing like Koromo.
Where's the room....
Hagioshi
Yes, Touka-ojousama.
Koromo's there?
Yes, she's ready to fight for the match.
Koromo should come before it's her turn in the finals.
I understand.
Koromo-sama, Touka-sama is waiting for you.
I know.
Touka is always too impatient.
Koromo-sama, she is expecting a lot from you.
Naturally!
There's not a chance that rabble of lower lifeforms can win against Koromo!
Everyone, sorry for making you wait
The prefecture pre-qualifying mahjong game has entered the final
After morning, finally, the 2nd round match has finally started.
A total of 58 schools participants,
only 4 lucky finalists entered in finals.
The school selected was the winner last year with the highest total points,
Ryuumonbuchi High School
In the annual national race of Kazekoshi All-girls High School, they're more fluent to enter finals
Remaining the two finalists
Tsuruga High School Mahjong Club was established 2 years ago, they got into the finals,
And
The first group to participate, Kiyosumi High School
What kind of match did the school will present?
Who will win?
Only one school can enter to the national competition.
Kazekoshi or Ryuumonbuchi?
Tsuruga Or Kiyosumi?
The beginning of the final competition of the team qualifiers is now starting.
Let's have a good game.
It's about to start soon
Believe me
In the final match I will play with all my best
Good luck
Please eat before the game
Okay
I will get the best result
Its missing...
This food is good.
I think its given here.
Tacos
That's my Tacos
Sorry. Sorry.
Please get back to the seat
Let's have a good game.
Finally it's getting started.
And now what you've all been waiting for, the start of the finals!
The first dealer is Kiyosumi High School, Yuuki Kataoka.
I cannot afford to attack enemies.
Finally, iishanten.
Does she know how to play?
And eating my tacos
That girl's hand is coming together.
So..
Pon!
1 pin pon...
But if it wasn't for that pon, Yuuki-chan would have been in tenpai.
Riichi
Ron, 2000.
Okay
Ryuumonbuchi is first to win a hand.
Chi
Again?
Clearly the best in the rotating game, but it's so bit struggle.
Ryuumonbuchi, Inoe
is very well in observing the situation, not matter what the other tiles
There is such a situation
He's like manipulating.
Ron!
12000
Okay
Yuuki
First round match is finished!
Ryuumonbuchi has a decisive victory on the first hanchan.
Second place, Kazekoshi.
Kiyosumi is obviously seems to start falling
I didn't even win once.
It's ok
You're hungry.
If you want, you can eat this.
Thank you very match.
But if it is not tacos ...
Small Tacos!
Not only tacos
During this game, tacos can give me strength
I powered up by tacos
I'm back and rarin' to go!
Despite being stuck, I will not give up
In this hand, I have to win!
I'm not giving up on moving forward!
She seems to be giving up
But
I will not let you run
Chiitoitsu with 3 dora would be nice..
But this one can be worth even more!
Maybe dora
or tenpai
So....
Riichi
Maybe I can scare her off with a ricchi?
Throwing it out
It's hard to get through it
Could it be she has all man tiles in her hand?
Just keep cowering in fear like that!
If you consider the movement and her habit of line up of the tiles,
other than the tile at the end, they're all man tiles.
It would be a problem to discard a dora with a ricchi, wouldn't it?
It'll be okay, I'll create a path for you.
7 pin dora？
That girl's trouble!
Always trouble she is!
Her right eye is open
Damn her!
See, this will pass.
From what I can see, the 7 pin dora is safe to discard.
The dora will pass.
Okay
Riichi!
This woman
...is helping Kiyosumi to try to beat me!
No.
Don't let it go to me.
Ron!
Richi, Ippatsu, Concealed chinitsu, Pinfu, Dora 1
24000
Okay
That's plenty big.
Could she be... my ally?
Dammit, Kazekoshi's captain obviously helped Kiyosumi
I've got to break up this flow somehow!
Pon!
Ron!
2000 with a bonus is 2600
Okay
This time here
Captain
Tsumo
Counterattack from Fukuji
The results have been fixed
Ron
This woman
She's not my ally after all..
7700 + 900 bonus is 8600
Captain is great
the first place
Yuuki
And that's it for the lead off battle!
The one in control of this lead off is from the famous Kazekoshi All-girls school, Fukuji Mihoko.
50,000 points higher than the second place
Kazekoshi is really getting stronger
Captain!
Good job!
You totally destroyed Ryuumonbuchi!
That's
Thanks to all your support
It's too early to cry
I was kicking butt during the first half,
but that woman really pisses me off.
Now, now... That person from Kazekoshi was quite powerful last year, too.
Be a man and accept defeat.
I'm a woman, dammit.
But
I'm very happy.
I want to play against her again.
Both of you
Yesterday you did not get enough rest.
There is still time before your game.
How about you take a rest?
But, we cannot support you senpai for the game later.
It'd be worse for you to be sleepy and play sloppy mahjong than not cheering for us.
Yes, it's true
I'm back
Welcome back
Miyanaga-san
Let's go to the nap room.
Hurry up.
Sit down.
I thought you didn't want to go to the nap room?
Yuuki is a brave girl
I don't think she let herself cry in front of people the same age like us.
We're going to reverse the situation.
Face and place into two is good enough
Don't worry to our senpai.
Yuuki's not a weak girl
Yes
It was weird
I do not think we will be like this
at that time ?
It's painful to lose to you ---
to someone who doesn't even like mahjong.
What is it?
I've forgotten it.
When we wake up, it'll be our turn.
Lets win, for sure.
Up to national competition.
Kazekoshi lead in the previous game
The second round of the finals is about to begin!
Now which school will be the first!
They are all wearing glasses.
But one of them is going to lose her specs pretty soon.
Why Someya-senpai always took off her glasses?
Mako grew up with mahjong, so she was surrounded by mahjong when she was a little.
And Mako has a mental image of the most of the matches she's witnessed.
Riichi
And given that most in her thoughts
If she remove her glasses,
and blurs out the world around her,
she can recall scenes from the past similar to the one of the table now.
I've seen situations like this before.
Here
She bailed it.
This going from one away from tenpai and
narrowing your hand nonsense has no place in the finals.
Huh?
Why chun?
Ron
No dora, Riichi, Ippatsu, Chun. 5200.
What's with her.
Kaori sucks as much as usual!
But thanks to her joining to our club,
we are able to join in the team tournament
I didn't believe we'd actually make it to the finals, though.
We want to win and go to the nationals.
The national competition will begin in August.
If we win today, Senou will have time to improve.
If we can just get through today...
Three tiles each, three tiles each, three tiles each...
I got it.
I'm going Riichi!
And your richii stick....?
Sorry
She's really a beginner.
That's why I canot read her discard.
Discarding of her tile is also not clear
Tsumo!
The reverse dora is...
I don't have one.
And your hand?
Riichi, Tsumo, Toitoi, I think?
Thats.... Suuankou?!
Yakuman
It's yakuman.
This is mahjong.
Kaori
Difficult to believe, pro players defeated by beginners
Since I was a dealer, I lost 16000 points.
The match finally finished
The first position is still Kazekoshi
Tsuruga finally began actively
and promote to second place
While playing in three of four dealer rounds, someone get a tsumo
One of them was a yakuman.
Really bad luck.
Completely useless
It's okay, I'll find a way to turn the table to ours.
To... mo... ki...
How much more useless could you be?
Tomoki cannot compete with beginners-level players, Right?
I cannot believe it, Ryuumonbuchi is in third place.
It's ok.
Hajime
I do not want to wear this
With this, you cannot used your ability.
I really don't like this.
Will the participating players please quickly proceed to the playing hall?
Thank you very much
Do you feel nervous?
I'm just afraid that I'll stop this momentum we are going.
So the rookie who's been a regular for two months is a big coward?
Don't you think the records of Kiyosumi's third to fifth players were strange?
It was just a coincidence, right?
Well I'm leaving.
The middle round of the prefectural qualifier finals!
Which one of this school will gain the upper hand?!
This hand is pretty weak.
Obviously it's like this
I discarded the 2 man next to the dora,
so drawing a 1 man would really make me cry.
Dora..
It really completely backfire..
Wait, there is a possibility
Let's think about how this draw can mean something.
There it is..
Riichi!
Kiyosumi's Takei Hisa's riichi
But ...
Thats....
What?
Saving 5 man
She's fishing with it
Wouldn't she have a better wait if she discarded the dora?
The President chooses bad waits at crucial times.
Well, back when Nodoka first joined the club in April, she used the computer in the club room
to look at the President's past games and really snaped at her.
Why do you purposely choose bad waits?
I cannot understand this.
I know it's very strange
In fact, I also want to play based on the logic
But at the crucial moment, I choose bad waits
Because I feel like I will win more.
Especially during important matches
For victory,
you should play logically in order to have highest percentage of winning.
So, do you plan to living your one and only life by just logic and reason?
That is an entirely different matter.
Mahjong isn't a one shot deal!
But for me,
this summer is my one shot to the national tournament.
When it's important, I choose the waits with the worst odds,
and I always win in that way.
So, what will the others school do in the face of Kiyosumi High School's riichi?
If it goes through...
Riichi!
No, it won't I'm afraid.
Ron!
Riichi, Ippatsu, Dora 3. 12000.
This time Kiyosumi Takei Hisa stated ron
deliberately provoke her then block
If she chose to wait 5 side
There's no way
She hasn't changed from 3 years ago.
The only person who makes me trouble
Please be careful, Bundou-san
Please don't face her head on!
Riichi!
Ron!
Tanyao, Sanshoku, Dora 3. 18000.
Okay
Threw away a five sided wait for a single hell wait again?
Tsumo
4200 from each of you
Kiyosumi's Takei make a comeback
And with that, Kiyosumi High School is in the first place!
Nice
I can't believe we are in the last place.
It should not end like this
It's been very long time back in elementary school
I don't play mahjong anymore
But
If I'm going back to the world of mahjong
Because of Touka
Why do take me playing mahjong?
Although recently
You're play was quite something.
Koromo
I'm brought you a new toy to play with.
This time
Is it truly indestructible this time?
Compared with that night
This situation is nothing
Because that Koromo is our President now!
Tsumo
3300/6300!
Hajime..
Hajime did it!
After the three matches,
The play of Kiyosumi High School's Takei Hisa is especially noteworthy!
In addition Ryuumonbuchi's Kunihiro is in the last place
and failed to chase miss
In the middle of the game,
position has change.
I'm sorry, Captain.
No, don't cry.
It's all my fault.
I don't alert you from Kiyosumi.
Sorry Bundo-san
Sorry
I failed to reverse the situation
No, it makes me satisfied
I'm going to beat Haramura Nodoka
In the first place
That would make me stand out
Then
Hajime
Maybe it is time to remove the chain
I like it like this now
If I take this off
I would feel far from you, Touka
It's about time
We are in the first place
President
After this, get ready
Do not forget to bring Etopen
Okay
It's time for the fourth round
Ryuumonbuchi High School, after showing us some fearful victory in last year's nationals,
With stunning points
and one of the top online players in prefecture,
Ryuumonbuchi Touka, second year.
Then
Now in the lead,
Kiyosumi High School
The first year, Haramura Nodoka!
Comes from the winner of last year's national middle school tournament
Will her skills make the grade in inter-high school tournament?
Pardon
I will be more superior than you
Why Etopen is not there?
Haramura-san
Miyanaga-san
Goodluck..
Thank you very much
The match is about to begin, please leave.
Okay
I'm leaving..
Haramura-san
Now, this second to the last round is finally started.
Eventually it could directly compete
Haramura Nodoka
Putting aside those ridiculous blob of fats in your chest...
You and I are online players,
But this day I will destroy you!
I'm really excited.
First, I need to get you knocked out on my own
Riichi!
Good start to play it safe
That's just Nodoka
Tenpai
A draw!
Kazekoshi All-girls ends up the only one tenpai!
They are really have their game face on, don't they?
I guess online players have to make certain adjustments when they try to hide their tenpai.
Pon!
Riichi!
Ryuumonbuchi Touka is up ahead with a riichi!
All three of them are giving signs of playing defensively.
Tenpai
No Ten
A draw, yet again!
Ryuumonbuchi Touka failed to penetrate the high points.
I'm feeling unwell..
Haramura Nodoka has not completely 100%
If Haramura Nodoka is Nodocchi,
that means Haramura Nodoka is Nodocchi?
Come show your abilities.
Otherwise I'll force you.
I was very nervous.
I was thinking about
it's the first time I brought the whole team to the finals
and
Goodluck!
I have to concentrate
as usual
just like when I'm in the training camp
and being the best just like playing online at home.
Tsumo!
1600/3200
Haramura Nodoka, why is your face is so flushed?
It appears when Nodo-chan runs hot, her opponent gets burnt!
It was like that at the training camp, too!
It was like this that no one can lay a hand on her.
What is this?
She's almost a completely different person from the Haramura Nodoka that was just here.
Pon!
This feeling?
This pressure?
Just like when I meet Nodocchi in online.
Good morning, Nodocchi!
Tsumo!
2100/4000
Kiyosumi Haramura Nodoka extend their advantage
The first hanchan of the second to last round has already reached a final hand!
It's a last hand already?
I feel like I haven't accomplished anything..
Wait..
No one has ever won yet other than Haramura!
If the last hand like this, Haramura-san will win.
A perfect game
What a pleasant breeze.
Mother told me many times.
"One cannot obtain the realization of personal good fortune and cheer over a long term.
Happiness lies within brief moments.
And the heart that wants to share it aims towards love and pressure."
However,
not through mahjong.
It's not always possible for the four people playing mahjong to have fun together.
Those who play with Koromo always looks as if they are witnessing the end of the world.
And then, once again,
she'll be lonely.
Koromo-sama and Touka-sama together
Playing mahjong for everyone
Ok, Hagiosi.
When there are people who lose
without exception.
There's a limit to the amount of ludicrousness I can take!
Ryuumonbuchi Touka is in tenpai on her last chance sitting as a dealer.
Riichi!
It's unlike Touka
Indeed
Touka is impossible to declare riichi through the lowest point
She couldn't be...
If I ruined your perfect game,
I bet the audience would boo like crazy.
If that happened, I will stand out even more than Haramura!
She abandoned her logical play to stand out?!
All of you poor fools, defending once again...
Come, my pretty!
Tsumo!
I'll be taking 8000 from each of you!
Dealer baiman!
And what's more, this ends Haramura Nodoka's chance for a perfect game!
Ryuumonbuchi High School, makes a comeback!
Now, shall we play another?
Well, all well's that ends well.
Haramura plays completely like a computer, but Touka sometimes goes off game.
And that can be a weakness for Touka.
Or it could be what makes her scary.
I have a good feeling about this hand, It's one tile away from tenpai!
If it comes together, I'm keeping it hidden this time.
Haramura Nodoka!
Ron!
Huh?!...
Concealed tanyao. 2600 with one bonus is 2900.
Riichi？
When did she...
Touka unsuspectingly played into her richii!
What's happening over there?
Tsuruga Academy's Touyoko Momoko has won 2900 points from the dealer.
And that the ends of first hanchan, you knows?
Ryuumonbuchi did not realize it
Or maybe a mistake
Momo, are you here?
I'm here.
The finals sure are tough.
It took me a while to disappear.
Momoko-san really like a ghost
This morning was the first time I saw it
Momo is always there when you are in the room
Huh?.. Is that true?
I did not realize it
Kaziki-senpai found Momo before you joined the club, you see.
Think it will work?
Yes
From now on, Stealth Momo's got the stage all to herself.
Second hanchan of finals tournament begins.
Again, I'm in tenpai.
Riichi!
Are you sure about that?
It's a dora?
Ron.
Riichi, ippatsu, dora 1.
5200!
Did you declare richii out loud properly?
Sure I did.
Things are very nice
If you are logged in steals,
No one can see it
and also hear her voice.
I grew up without a sense
They cannot see my existence
Ron.
Do you hear something?
What?
Just my hearing.
I'm hear anything.
Maybe just a feeling.
And because of that, I abandoned all communication with other people
and eliminate my existence
But..
In this class,
people who play mahjong online
Where..
Where are you?
I want you!
Let's play mahjong together.
That person needs me.
then ... If you'll take me...
Because of Senpai who finds me....
I'm gonna do my best!
Riichi!
Haramura Nodoka declares richii!
This match will be going very interesting!
Kiyosumi is feeling good as usual, I see.
But I'm not going to bail on this either.
Even if this is a winning tile,
you'll overlook it.
Why doesn't she draw?
Impossible.
Ron!
8000.
She saw through Momo when she's in Stealth Mode?
She played into her hand?
You can see my discard or can't you?
There's no such thing as superstitions like "can see them" and "can't see them".
I can see them clearly.
The match was ended.
In the second hanchan it was Haramura Nodoka and Touyoko Momoko
But in the end game both Ryuumonbuchi and Kazekoshi put up a serious response.
The two top schools from last year are trailing behind two unknown schools in an upset!
And the match has finally entered into the final round!
Here I go!
Do your best!
Captain!
Here,
I can go alone
Ok.
When it's my break, don't come to see me.
But
Don't worry about me
I'm will try my best to this match!
So, I will go.
It seemed like Haramura could see you.
Yes
That's the first time I'd ever played someone like that.
I think I'm doubting myself a little...
What are you talking about?
If you look at the points totals from the start of the round,
it's clearly who was the most effective.
You're the best, Momo.
Senpai..
I love you...
Don't do it here.
Captain participants, please do seat.
Let's have a good game.
The most prominent
Ryuumonbuchi High School
Showing us god-like play in last year's tournament,
the reigning MVP,
A record holder of most points gained in last year's national tournament...
Amae Koromo!
This is the main game
Please begin.
So that is Amae Koromo
I viewed from anywhere she is like a child
Amae is 16 years old
Older one year of you
Have an ability stronger one level above of us
It's the start of the final round!
After a mere two more hanchan, only one school will get to go to the nationals!
Will Kiyosumi move on through to the inter-high school tournament after taking the lead in the center round?
Or will the two finalist schools from last year, Ryuumonbuchi or Kazekoshi, show us their pride?
Amae, I'm not going to lose like last year.
Riichi!
The first who move and declare richii is the Tsuruga Academy's Kajiki Yumi
Captain, what do you see?
A record notes of the players.
What do you notice from Ryuumonbuchi's Amae?
What I certain...
There is also one person again...
Kan
Because there are two demon!
Rinshan kaihou, tsumo, dora 1
1600/3200
Kiyosumi High School's Miyanaga Saki draws first blood!
Kana..
Nice, this big hand is coming together!
I sure hope I can get this sure-fire win!
Riichi.
She declare riichi!
Miyanaga didn't take the two-sided wait,
and what's more, two of the sou have already been discarded!
A single hell wait? Just like our president!
Don't lower her to my level.
Saki wasn't choosing a bad wait on purpose like me.
Kan.
She was simply choosing a wait that enables her to declare a kan.
Tsumo.
4000 from each of you.
Two rinshan kaihous in a row!
This is truly an incredible occurance!
I've got a concealed set of my seat wind, which is also a dora.
One more call and I'll be in tenpai.
Pon.
If you were do it, then that pon...
Tsuruga Kajiki broke up her hidden dora seat wind set?
Now she doesn't even have a yaku.
What will she do?
Kan.
Kiyosumi's Miyanaga declared kan.
This will be her third rinshan...
There's no need to take that tile from the dead wall!
Perhaps you didn't hear me?
When you called your kan, I believe said ron!
Chankan.
That kan is not to be.
It's a chankan.
In fact, it rarely appears during the match of the rinshan kaihou
If the opponent touching the pins after you, we can get to the fourth pin of the same tile, and can RON, so we can take the right (total 8-fold). In Japanese Mahjong count one han in the game which is actually the most rare.
Success of that was a coincidence
But she's really a demon.
Providing feedback to a terror probably a good move
Senpai's the best.
Got it!
She might have won by chankan the last time, but if I declare a closed kan, it shouldn't be a problem, right?
Wait, there is a case where you can win from someone declaring a closed kan too!
Kokushi Musou..
No Ten
Tenpai
Very dangerous.
A kokushi, just as I thought!
Such a wearisome tedium.
I was all excited after hearing Kiyosumi's captain would cause me some trouble.
But you lack,
I'm really disappointed!
Perhaps it is time to open the doors to the inner sanctum?
When I enter to this game
I cannot escape from this
I've been in iishanten since the starting hand.
There is something off about these draws!
These is strange!
And it has begun.
Even if it is me playing against Koromo, my tenpai percentage drops precipitously.
That sure was tough.
It reminds me of the time I played Koromo for the first time.
Also
It was at night and a full moon at that!
Chi!
Got it!
What has she done?
Riichi!
It's over.
Winning on the final draw is another yaku.
The meaning of the name of this yaku is
"To scoop the reflection of the moon up from the sea!"
Tsumo!
Haitei Raoyue!
4000/8000
It is Amae Koromo.
Her riichi in the final draw
It could be said she could win in the final draw
Miyanaga-san
What is this?
Like last year
I was sure to be able to call a ton
But I haven't got a single one!
I'm totally stuck!
If it continues like this,
Amae Koromo is going to win with a haitei tsumo again...
Even now
Do not be ...
Pon.
I've knocked Amae Koromo off her path to the haitei.
Now all I have to do is win with this hand!
Pon!
Pei Pon... Pei Pon...
She's back on course to the haitei?
Kazekoshi
Will you call on this?
So close.
Compared to getting a rinshan kaihou twice in a row, a single haitei is nothing unusual.
That being said... if...
If she does that twice in a row...
Tsumo!
Haitei Raoyue.
2000/4000
Two haitei tsumo in a row!
Thanks to that Ryuumonbuchi is back on top!
Chi!
If it wins she with haitei
it is at least 12000 points
This isn't good.
But…
I can't win, I can't knock her off course...
I at least wish someone would discard a tile I could call.
The last draw
If I discard the 9 sou, I'm in tenpai and it will Amae get another haitei?
Then... this one...
Ron!
2000 points!
Okay
This time, Tsuruga plays to the hand of Kiyosumi High School's Miyanaga
Tsuruga's Kajiki
A good choice for the deliberate release her tenpai
To avoid haitei of opponent
Koromo's dealer spot is gone now!
Koromo's hate playing as a child!
Ron!
Riichi, ippatsu, chitoitsu, 2 ura dora.
12000
Sorry about this.
To stop consecutive haitei
I planned on taking these points from Amae.
14400 points between me and Ryuumonbuchi.
I've got to make good use of this dealer spot now.
What is this strange feeling?
So there are others who can feel it when it gets this bad...
This is even worse than when I was playing with my sister...
There's no way I can win!
What's wrong with Kajiki?
Can you hear the night-bell's toll?
Ron!
12000
As the world shrouds in darkness...
So too will your lives be snuffed out!
Not only with haitei,
she can also win by it.
No one else
can stop Koromo from this game.
It'll be my fault that everyone's dream of going to the Nationals will...
will be destroyed in my hands
Tsumo!
3000/6000!
And that's end of the first hanchan!
It's been all Ryuumonbuchi High School's Amae Koromo,
breaking away completely from the other schools.
Does Kazekoshi be able to overcome what can only be considered a near-insurmountable point difference?
Or will the two newcomer schools be able to catch the dragon's tail?
All that's left is just one single hanchan!
Sorry...
I broke my promise and came to see you.
But I can't find the words.
Is it okay if I just stay here together with you?
No.
It's okay
This year's game is not bad
Fujita
Koromo is only a small child but so talented
Koromo not a child, I'm Koromo
「 Koromo 」 and 「 Young Children 」 the same pronunciation
Sometimes aggressive attitude of yours is so cute
Do not hold my head
You perverted pro!
Look here, it's about time you played mahjong.
I'm playing right now.
That's not you playing.
You're being made to play.
Miyanaga-san
Haramura-san.
What are you doing?
It's not like you normally.
I'm afraid at Amae
The first time I met her
I do not know how to deal with her on my own
But…
Through mahjong you can communicate
It's was like what you say...
But, through mahjong I could talk to my sister
Because these words are what I found
Mahjong can make people feel happy
When playing with others
And for the more powerful opponent
There will be a second touch on the heart
It would be a lot of communication
So that we are friends
and test powerful opponent
In the national competition there may be a lot stronger opponents
Let's enjoy the game now
Enjoy?
Yes
Remember the most fun when you play mahjong
The most fun...?
Um... Is it okay if I take them off?
What?
My shoes, I mean.
O-Oh... Your shoes...
It's okay.
It was not wearing footwear
It was...
This feeling is the same as last time
Saki-chan, goodluck!
Mahjong prefectural qualifier finals is finally reached the last match.
The second half has begun!
"Koromo is being made to play" she says?
Silly!
In that case, I'll show the true meaning of darkness!
Riichi!
Tsumo!
Haitei Raoyue
3000/6000
Th-That's the third haitei raoyue!
Could this be truly national-level play?
Ron!
12000
Okay.
Ron!
7700 with bonus points is 8000
Ron
12000 points with bonus points
12600
They cannot stop Ryuumonbuchi Amae's victory.
After haitei raoyue, Kana Ikeda hit three defeats.
He does not target to waste my tiles
Why?
To eject Kazekoshi?
No, it's not.
Take a look at the points, you piece of trash!
Incredibly, after playing into that hand, Kazekoshi has zero points!
If Kazekoshi play and anyone tsumos,
that would make Ryuumonbuchi win.
In other words, Kiyosumi and Tsuruga can only win off of someone other than Kazekoshi.
Feel despair...
You couldn't win with tsumo and rinshan kaihou is also useless
It is too difficult
But these is strange
What happened?
Why does it look like Miyanaga Saki has been smiling since that last win?
It's very painful
He could have killed me
But she did not do it.
Here I am on the 3rd turn, tenpai with 4 dora.
Although it's a wait on the 6 pin, I don't have any point sticks so I can't declare richii.
That's a 6 pin
But I don't have any yaku, so I can't win!
Although there are still three of them left.
Pon!
Now there's only one left!
Kan!
Rinshan kaihou!
No, if she win with that, we'll lose immediately, remember?
No winning for you.
If you dare do it, you'll destroy yourself immediately.
And one more, Kan
Ro… Ron.
Chankan, dora 7!. 16900!
Okay
She is....
With this win, Kazekoshi's Ikeda escapes the ultimate precadiment!
And what's more, we've now seen the second chankan at the table of this year's tournament!
She couldn't have...
to save Kazekoshi...
Saki rescue her.
There is still a chance to survive
Thanks to Kiyosumi, I somehow escaped from having zero points.
But the difference is very far.
Captain...
Sometimes there will be a very bad situation.
If every game, being certainly marred does not mean complete
Trust me one day something good will happen
So keep moving forward
to enjoy all.
Captain...
As long as there are still points to be enjoy to the game
What's this? Everything feels completely different than before!
Tsumo... But if she wins with that, it's only 1100 points.
Not yet.
She's in furiten, but she was close in ippeikou
If she wins by tsumo , it's 2000 points!
Dora.
That makes it 4000 points.
He added in a pinfu, plus she's out of furiten.
And her highest scoring possibility includes a sanshoku!
Eh？
Wow...
Guess I have no choice but to declare richii now.
Riichi!
Goodluck!
Kana
I'll make you regret not killing me before!
Tsumo!
Riichi, ippatsu, tsumo, pinfu, junchan, sanshoku, iipeikou, with dora 3...
Ka… Kazoe yakuman？
32000 points.
Hurry up and roll the dice!
Kazekoshi's Ikeda has made a comeback from zero points!
Kazekoshi still not giving up.
You're a third year, right, Senpai?
Yes it is.
If we end up losing in tomorrow's qualifiers, will no longer have any reason to be together, Senpai?
And we'll lose this time together too, won't we?
I...
Do not want to lose
I'm gonna do my best!
Ron.
11600.
Nice
Senpai
All will be improved
Believe in Senpai
Their faces do not look like the face of defeat
Their hearts should have been destroyed! Some link must have grounded them!
Especially Kiyosumi
Even Koromo is very rarely going to tell this
Pon.
6 pin pon？
What is she doing when she's almost 80000 points behind?
If it was not by the 6 pin pon of Kiyosumi, Amae would have drawn a 1 man and won with a baiman.
Koromo, don't rely on your senses.
Is Kiyosumi's hand coming together?
But it's not very large.
Kan
Late kan?
And another Kan!
She draws two 2 sou tiles from the dead wall in a row!
It's another rinshan kaihou!
Kan!
Eh？
She passes up the rinshan kaihou to call a third kan?
Her hand should have been poor!
It should not have come together!
And yet, in only one turn...
Tsumo. Rinshan kaihou, tanyao, toitoi, sanankou, sankatsu!
8000 from each all.
Saki-chan was great!
Amazingly, Kiyosumi High School's Miyanaga has gotten herself a dealer baiman!
Her 2000 points hand blossomed into a 24000 point hand!
An opponent that can take a cheap iishanten hand and turn it into a dealer baiman just like that?
That's not you playing.
You're being made to play.
Kiyosumi, you think you can pull off a comeback?
Yes
I'm going to win.
I'm going to go to the nationals with everyone from mahjong club,
and make-up with my sister,
and then we'll all live together as a family again!
Family?
This kid was really depress...
And then to get involved in such an accident because of it...
Who will adopt this child...
I could not bring her at home...
Since that day,
There's nothing left to Koromo
Touka pull me into a mahjong club
But I know,
When Koromo playing mahjong,
No one wants to play mahjong with Koromo
After all, Koromo is still lonely.
I should just burn you to ashes!
A power outage?
The lights do go out sometimes during full moons back at the mansion, too, but...
This is the first time something of this magnitude has happened.
Koromo... Will your heart remain forever like the full moon, alone in the night sky?
The power's back on!
It seems its already recovered
The match is resuming.
The game continues. Continues!
Pon.
Tsumo.
Haitei Raoyue.
3000/6000
It's the fourth haitei!
She has ended Kiyosumi's chance to put the pressure on her as dealer just like that!
At the same time, there are two demon.
This is the last round of the match.
Which team will proceed to the national competition?
Kazekoshi has no hope
Possibility is not necessarily zero.
Goodluck, Senpai
Kana
Oh, just great. Now I get a suuankou single wait tsumo...
I can't make a comeback if I win with a yakuman now.
I have to pass it.
Kazekoshi choosing not to win is outside my realm of expectation.
This isn't the 5 man?!
Kiyosumi has me in her clutches!
About 12000 points, maybe?
But, during the last hand, she turned a 2000 points iishanten hand into a 24000 points win in an instant.
Woe is me.
Koromo's at loss?
Seems like you're finally starting to have fun playing mahjong.
This is the first person I've ever played against that I might lose to, even if I play the way my gut tells me to.
Mahjong sure is fun, isn't it?
Eh
It's been a lot of fun.
I enjoy it very much.
Playing mahjong against Koromo is fun for you?
Yeah!
Let's have fun together!
I'm not just a puppet for my instinct!
Would I take this?
Then I'm gonna choose this pin.
If I believe in the hand I sense from her, even if she wins it,
Koromo will be the winner!
Gonna win on it?
No. If I ron on that, I lose.
But...
Kan.
Creating an open kan...
"The responsible one pays"?
The responsible one pays, what it is?
When you declare a kan from a tile someone discards, it's called an open kan.
It's a rule stating that if you win with a rinshan kaihou from an open kan,
the person dealing that fourth tile has to pay the whole winning hand by herself.
Rinshan Kaihou?
So in this case...
Amae would have to pay 12 000 points all by herself.
But those 12000 are no different from the win by ron she could have had before.
That means, she won't stop there.
And once more... Kan!
Again?!
That's another rinshan kaihou, this time with the 4 pin!
But that's still just 12000!
Which means...
And one more kan!
I've always chosen to play as myself, the same way, up until now.
But if, like this, I also end up defeated in this manner...
Koromo might be born anew.
Chinitsu! Toitoi! Sanankou! Sankatsu! 1 red dora!
Rinshan Kaihou!
That's 32000!
Kazoe Yakuman!
A second Kazoe Yakuman!
And then...
Kiyosumi High School is the winner!
It's great.
It was only because of Ryuumonbuchi's 1 pin that gave her an open kan and that resulting kazoe yakuman.
And because of that, Kiyosumi High School is the champion of the team tournament!
They've earned the spot in the national tournament!
That was fun.
Yes, it's very fun.
It's over. I want to keep playing.
Would you play with Koromo again, too?
Yes, naturally.
Kiyosumi, what's your name?
Saki
Miyanaga Saki
Saki
Miyanaga-san
Kana...
Ikeda.
Why is your face so sad?
You've been playing nice.
Beat the crap out of her next time!
Okay
Kana
Nice work
Senpai
Good work.
I wanted to bring everyone to a national tournament.
Okay
Koromo
Let's go home
Do you hate Koromo?
We do not hate you.
You work hard for us.
The right Koromo,
Thanks
Let's go.
Come
Touka-sama
Iy's the first time Koromo is smiling.
Koromo finally got freedom
Thanks to Kiyosumi riinshan-chan
Because it was a coincidence
I once again met with mahjong
Initially I hate mahjong
But now that we know each other through mahjong and I have friends
Well, let's start practice.
Come.
For the purpose of mahjong summer contest
Everyday, we practice mahjong.
My sister is waiting for me in the nationals.
