>>267991127Question, I know literally nothing about mahjong, but I've noticed they all group their tiles together in their hands, even the opaque onesWouldn't that give the opponent an indication of what those opaque tiles are? Or is there a rule that forbid it?

>>267991582
>>267991599
>>267991619
>>267991640
>>267991401The grouping is just for readers' convenience. In-world tiles are probably mixed since the players don't look at their order.

>>267991790
>>267991401There's no rule about it. There were one or two times earlier on, where Akagi used an intentionally out of order opaque tile to trick Washizu into dealing in, but mostly they stick to sorting their hands normally even if it gives info away. Even then it hasn't stopped Akagi from using opaques to fuck with Washizu, as seen with the fake 7 pairs.And it's worth remembering sorted hands give off info even without transparent tiles. For example, if you know someone always sorts their man tiles as their leftmost suit in the hand, then if they discard a pin or sou from the left, you know they don't have many manzu in their hand.

What is Suzuki even doing rn, shouldn't he be pushing hard tooI don't like that we're not shown what he's up to
>>267993804
>>267993787Jesus Akagi, you're such a fucking shithead.
>>267993807I like when that happens but you check the replay and it turns out he was in tenpai for just as long as you were

>>267991834One thing that wasn't brought to attention here is that to get tenpai he had to deal either 4 or 7 sou. But a very subtle move Akagi did here >>267991429 was how he placed the new transparent 6 sou to the right of the opaque one in the sequence of 568, before discarding the 8. This narrowed the possible tiles the opaque one could be from 5678, down to just 5 or 6. And if it's a 5, the 6 would have given him a 4-7 sou wait, if the opaque 6 pin in his hand was actually a 1 man intentionally placed out of order.
>>267991335>Half of this year has passed. What has changed?Ha it's really true... For me most things have stayed the same as they always have, but I have walked on my path and lived more like I should.
>>267994192Thanks OP
>>267994192Thanks OPCan't wait to see our protagonist Washizu prevail over this evil
>>267990717>the climaxfreaking finally the last rounds were way too drawn out
>>267991582Oh snap!
>>267993768>bottom rightthe ol' spicy mahjong tile
>>267991779Ougi would have taken the deal, every time he's considered the loss he's thought "The money!" and "I'll lose an arm" he's not that attached to Akagi. Yasuoka is crooked but not evil, he just does what he feels like regardless of laws.
>>267990966>It's a blow to my pride, but I finally have to admit it: Akagi might be slightly better at mahjong than me
>>267993913Come on Ohgi, why would he ever discard a 6 man against a hand like that. At least imagine believable wins
hahahaa
>>267991401A normal Mahjong is non-opaque, so rearranging or not does not matterBut this is Washizu Mahjong, where opaque and non-opaque tile, so i dont know if are there any secret rule or not
>>267994016Buddha and Vishnu I understand because Washizu believes in karma, but why Zeus. And who does the lady represent, again? She was also there with the reaper in a previous metaphor, so some goddess of life? Or is she just "lady luck".
>>267995066Venus?
Washizu starting to look like a Moomin character.
>>267991318Helicopterbros...

I hope Mamiya gets picked back up by some group...
>>268004538Yeah really. Having a woman in a prominent role is unexpected in a FKTM manga, but it's pretty good from what I've read.Speaking of, I think there have been no new chapters of anything FKTM lately, what gives?
>>268004701What about that golf manga?
>>268004824Wasn't that Zero? I can only remember a golf arc, but not a whole manga.
>>268004851Nikaido hell golf
>>268004851No, he started a golf-themed manga a while ago.
>>268004907>>268004927Huh, I didn't know. Not really my favorite setting, but I'll look into it.
>>268004945It's not really about golf, it's about a guy who is pretty much the opposite of the typical FKMT protagonist. It's actually pretty depressing until the latest chapter.
>>268004998Sounds good, thank you.
>>268004945It's great but brutal. I wish FKMTKrazy would pick up the pace and catch up with the releases.
>>267995066>why Zeuswhen they say Washizu is favored by the gods. they mean ANY god. He's that gud.>And who does the lady represent, again? That's Fortuna (goddess of luck), if I recall it right.
>>268004851Fkmt followed through with his golf inclinations and made it into a full-time thingSadly though, not much actual golf yet LOL
>>268004701What's translated is really neat, the new rule variation has interesting consequences, hands are well written as you would expect from fkmt, it's much lighter in tone than his other mahjong manga but that's how nu-fkmt is

>>267994192Thank you for posting.

>>267990793YESSSSSSSSSSSS
>>267995066He's prayermaxxing.
>>267992583I'd be reasonable and barter for 300mil + Akagi's life, but Washizu can get both of Ohgi's arms.
>>2680109031 pin tiles can attain incredible sizes as they grow
Akagi!
Still laughing at this panel from the other day.
>>268004538>>268004701Is there a place where I can atleast find raws of it? I am afraid that its going to stay untranslated even after HERO manga's translation got finished.
>>267994192Thanks OP. The storytime was the push I needed to finally start playing some Mahjong and, even if I still don't get the more advanced shit, it has been fun.
>>267991529kind of washizu to translate the yen amounts for yasuoka>(this 600 million yen in 1965 would be worth 6 billion today)
thanks OP
>>267993674mahjong?
>>268004701last I heard he was on a fact finding mission to figure out what to do with Kaijiplease god we got the weird arc now let's have a big satisfying showdown
>>267990597Why do the Kaiji series have no female characters?
>>268020488they cover topics women could never understand
>>267993622>>267993645>>267993674Imagined the kaiji narrator while reading this
>>268017966But what's 6 billion of 90s "today" yen in today today yen?
>>268015190You can see the suffering on their faces.
>>268022157I think this chapter is from 00s
Keep going!
>>267993125That face.
>>268016261>raws>of Kindai MahjongGood luck. As far as I know there isn't a digital version either so you'd have to import and scan it yourself.
>>268027462It's available digitally on places like Amazon kindle, but I don't know how easy is it to extract, download or bypass kindle's drm.
>>268028538https://itsfoss.com/calibre-remove-drm-kindle/IIRC Rakuten is easier to rip from using Calibre and DeDRM
>>268024528Fukumoto introduced the 1:10 ratio at the start of the series and never updated it through the entire run
Hands completed in this volume: 1
>>268031484It's so funny when you think about it.
