Totally expected from my part. Kokaji is undefeated but that's not important. I wonder who the MC is going to be, hopefully someone from Saki's family but of course that's just my speculation.

Looking forward to reading more about Risa.

Its not a spinoff of Side-A, its a spinoff of the main manga, just like Achiga-hen.

I don't see why this is complicated for people to understand.

Uhhh guys...

Ritz Kobayashi's original Saki manga is still ongoing in Square-Enix's Young Gangan magazine, although Kobayashi revealed in February that the manga is on extended hiatus due to her recent surgery.


Its been off hiatus for a while.

Unless you think the last half-dozen chapters have been a collective delusion.

Loyal fans are aware of it, ignore the morons. Expected another spinoff of main and not just Side-A being the only spinoff. Had this about a year or two ago...

Precisely. Note we also have those who watched Side-A before main so they could perhaps be unaware of anything that has happened in main's anime/manga.

I'm actually really looking forward to this spinoff, I haven't heard any "who cares" bullshit yet from other anime sites I'm on, but since this is my favorite franchise, what can I not be excited about?

Did we get any sort of detail on what the spinoff will actually be about? Because we knew that there would be a Saki spinoff manga for awhile now, pretty much since the Achiga manga finished up. So that's not really news, but I'd sure like to know what the heck it'll be. I'm hoping for a pro spinoff with Kokaji, Wakane~, Harue, and Fujita along with their lesbian partners.

Pretty much Kokaji, Harue, Risa, and Hayari being the known characters but it's not definite as to who the MC is going to be. I am predicting it's one of Saki's relatives.

Yes, actually. We did.

Its a spinoff focusing on the pros when they were in high-school, specifically during the High School National Tournament 10 years ago, the one where Kokaji crushed Akado so hard in the semifinals she just about died.

Here's Kokaji, Hayarin, Akado and Risa, both in the current time and ten years ago.

Though it seems that the actual main character will be this person, who is as of yet unidentified. But could perhaps be Ikuno

Not sure if that will be, but it certainly could be. Either way, should be well on board regardless.

I said I'm not sure if it's going to be Ikuno but I would not be surprised either if it was.

Apologies for vagueness.
