can you explain the last page? Does that mean Sumire lost the game and bet?

 

[ScarecrowB]

I would like to say Souko was being too petty but Sumire sort of deserved it for being so dense. Still a dick move tho.

 

[DesertStorm]

She gets better with spite WTF

Souko: secretly the main character

(only makes sense because this manga is about hitting rock bottom and climbing back up, and no one is/has a bigger bottom than sushi-karma)

can you explain the last page? Does that mean Sumire lost the game and bet?

From the last chapter, they are playing a Hanchan:

So Sumire hasn’t lost the game yet, but she did lose the East round.

Edit: According to Wikipedia, the shortest Hanchan, assuming no one falls below 0 points, is 8 hands long. The game can be extended through Renchan or shortened if someone is bankrupted. It can also be extended if the target score isn’t met. So, yeah, Sumire has already lost the game.

Edit 2: Maybe Sumire still hasn’t lost the game.

Game Rounds

Games begin with the East round, lasting from East 1 to East 4. After East 4, the game moves into the South round, lasting from South 1 to South 4.

If the target score is not met by any player after South 4, and the rules allow overtime, the game proceeds into the West round.

A Renchan, or dealer repeat, occurs when a new hand is started but the wind seats remain unchanged. Each Renchan adds one extra hand to the game.

A Renchan happens when the dealer wins the hand, or after an abortive draw. In many rulesets, it also occurs if the dealer is tenpai (a hand in tenpai, is a hand that needs only one more tile to complete) at an exhaustive draw.

How a Hanchan Can End

Under standard rules, a Hanchan can end in the following ways:

• If it’s the end of the South 4 hand, the dealer hasn’t renchaned, and at least one player is above the target score, the Hanchan ends.
• If the target score isn’t met, the game continues into one wind round of overtime. If anyone reaches the target score during this round, the game ends immediately. After West 4 ends, the game concludes even if no player has reached the target score.
• If a player falls below zero points, the game ends immediately.

These rules may vary; some rulesets don’t allow overtime, while others may not end the game if a player is bankrupt.

Souko being the beginning & the end of Sumire's round of Mahjong is so fitting to her character. I just didn't expect it be over in a single chapter. I really thought Ayumi or Souko would be the first to go down but Sumire's gambling luck being so dumpsterfire levels of low trumps them. Thanks for the translations.

haha I was right that Souko would be the Mahjong assassin. I was wrong to think it would benefit their cosplay, since Sumire just lost the best thanks to her.

Next prediction: Old man crypt keeper finds this situation insanely fun. He laughs so hard he decides to let them do the cosplay anyways, so long as they uphold the terms of the bet- all the money from their cosplay goes to him. This leaves Sumire in the dumpster fire, yet again. Hilarious!

Locked in to hate and be petty...I respect it

 

[Angelnickl]

I feel like everyone is at fault here. Aside from the Old Man, he just wants to play a game.

 

[Junomano]

When that one friend who takes lot of Ls finally gets angry

 

[rabidfish]

Souko is so cute, even if she is a gooner, a creep and a vindictive b. She holds all of the grudges!

 

[SilverMajeh]

I want to see her reaction when she remembers that this is NOT the result Yusei wanted.

 

[ACEG]

A cornered animal is the most dangerous.

 

[Jachinz]

Spite fueled Locking IN.

 

[darkeden112]

She doesn't care about the bet anymore lol. Let them taste humiliation!

 

[outinthegardener]

Spite fueled Locking IN.

Not one bullet. She had the strip to underwear bullet, and the fuck up the whole operation bullet. 2 bullets.

 

[Siendra]

Even when dominating Souko is a failure.

 

[Zondeck]

She is so petty i love her

 

[tomatomandarine]

If you have only one shot to take, you cannot miss. Souko has understood this.
