However in the manga, Maho watches the matches on television with her parents.

Maho and Hiroko Murohashi are invited to the training camp by Hisa Takei. Hisa studied her play records from the intermiddle tournament, and figures that her copying abilities would put fear into Saki and help Mako Someya to learn how to deal with an eternal beginner. Together they have a match with Nodoka and Saki Miyanaga. Maho opens up by copying Yuuki Kataoka's "Taco Power", winning a haneman while first dealer. She then proceeds to copy Nodoka Haramura, playing at extreme speed and defending. Hisa suspects that this is the end of her copying, but is surprised when Maho wins after choosing a bad wait, copying Hisa's ability. Maho then shocks Saki by copying her ability and winning with a Rinshan Kaihou. After this Maho's play becomes weak and she ends up losing the game and the next two as well. Afterwards Nodoka reprimands her for not trying to get better, but Hiroko reveals that she has been studying lots of professionals and is going home late because she is training in the club room.

Maho's ability is to mimic other mahjong player's playing styles, but she can only mimic a specific ability once a day and she otherwise makes a lot of amateur mistakes and a major error at least once per game.

  • Maho's surname Yumeno means "dream, vision" (夢) (yume) and "from" (乃) (no).

Trivia[]

  • Nodoka Haramura is Maho's idol and she has started playing internet mahjong under the name "Super Mahocchi" because of this, but she is really weak.
