Plot preview[]

Saki Miyanaga is a high school freshman who doesn't like mahjong. When she was younger, her mahjong-obsessed family -- usually her older sister, would get upset if Saki won. However, if she lost, she would lose her New Year's gift money. Despite being emotionally scarred, she is curious enough to follow her friend to the school's mahjong club. There, she rediscovers her love of mahjong but at the same time she reawakens an inner demon. And that's not all she loves, nor does she only have one demon. Together with her Kiyosumi clubmates, she takes aim at the national mahjong tournament to pursue both her loves and her demons.
