Oh, Koromo. You’re even more sinister than I originally thought. Zero points? That’s a bit cruel. Unfortunately, that falls into the generic villain habit category of playing around with your opponents when you could have finished them now. I would have preferred a more forceful victory and with this the satisfaction of a comeback will feel weakened. Well the match continues to be interesting now that Saki has awakened thanks to lesbian power. It’s clear by now that the three girls will have to work together to defeat the kodomo. At this point I have absolutely no hope for Kazekoshi’s player (who’s name I still don’t know). Even with an embrace from kyaputen she still plays like shit. Yumi may not have h4x, but at least she has skill so she’ll probably pull through in the next episode.

While Saki did manage to get Kazekoshi’s player back in the game, she lost points for that which just widened the gap with first. As talked about among Kiyosumi’s players, Saki may have to pull off a yakuman to get within arm’s reach of the kodomo. And oh Nodoka. Yes, a yakuman is incredibly hard to pull. Which is why there’s no better person for the job then a lesbian with supernatural mahjong powers. Also that reminds me Yumi almost pulled off Kokushi Musou (yakuman) in the first hanchan. It’s probably safe to say that Saki and Yumi will avoid winning off Kazekoshi at this point so that just leaves two options for points when calling ron. Though given Koromo’s track record, I don’t see her playing into anybody’s hand which will make this match seem ever more difficult. With only a few rounds left, their best chance is to hit her fast and hard.

    Try checking out the manga. It hasn’t been scanlated beyond vol 02 but after checking out the raws it is obvious that the anime is following the manga with little deviation. Oh and you are sadly mistaken if you think that Koromo will continue to dominate the game and that Saki and the others will have to band together just to beat her. Let’s just say that that Saki is on a level much higher than Koromo and Koromo is already having one hell of a tough time now that Saki is awakened. Episode 18 will probable cover the next 4 chapters of the manga(44-47).
