Original subtitles

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

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

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

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!

Do your best!

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...

Captain...

Captain...

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

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.
