Saki [TV]

Saki
Plot Summary

Saki Miyanaga is a high school freshman who dislikes the game mahjong. Since her early childhood, her family would always force her to play. The game would always conclude with Saki at the losing end, even when she technically wins the game. Due to this, Saki had learned to play mahjong in a way that her score would remain at a neutral 0; a skill said to be more difficult to learn compared to actually winning streaks.

Unaware of these circumstances, Saki’s friend from middle school naively takes her to their high school mahjong club. There, after discovering Saki’s unique skill, the club recruits her and convinces her to win instead of breaking even. Since then, Saki discovers her new love for mahjong, and thus their journey to the national high school competition begins.
