Saki synopsis

Saki has never been a fan of mahjong. Forcing a lifetime to play it at parties with her family (and lose their money in the process …) has left her mouth feeling bad when she comes across the game. However, when he decides to play a game with his friends, he discovers that all these losses to his family have given him great skill in the game and he even enjoys playing!

Will this revelation be enough to reverse Saki’s rejection of mahjong? Will her classmates convince her to join the mahjong club? Or would it be a hopeless move? If you are looking for the best manga about mahjong then this is what you are looking for.
