I must admit I love the pacing of this manga. The characters have depth. The suspense in mahjong game play is given away to character reactions. Rivalry abounds. Looking forward to the anime. | I must admit I love the pacing of this manga. The characters have depth. The suspense in mahjong game play is given away to character reactions. Rivalry abounds.
