Fukumoto Nobuyuki's Kaiji on Hiatus

Hello everyone, it's been a while! As I'm sure many people are wondering, there has not been a new Kaiji chapter posted in quite a long while now. Fukumoto has put Kaiji on Hiatus while he researches information regarding it. Originally this was going to be a 2.5 month hiatus, but it has continued with no new information going on 5 months. As of now there is no word on when Kaiji will return, but we will patiently wait for Kaiji to return. We hope that you will wait patiently with us as well.

Thank you as always for being loyal fans to Kaiji and Fukumoto. Please take care.

New FKMTkrazy translator: Substar!

Hi everyone! It is my pleasure to introduce you to our newest translator, Substar! He is a 2nd-generation Japanese man living in America and he loves Fukumoto and mahjong so we feel he is a great addition to our team and enthusiastically brought him aboard! He will be translating Kaiji alongside Spanish starting at Chapter 408. His work is so similar to Sonickrazy's that it's practically indistinguishable, so I think you all will love having him here and he is very excited himself to be working with us! He is very shy so you probably won't see him in the comments or on discord or anywhere, and he didn't even want to write his own introduction post, but we are super thrilled to have him aboard and think his inclusion will be to the benefit of Fukumoto fans everywhere!

Some old posts have been re-posted

Since it seems like people are still visiting this blog for whatever reason, I just re-published 55 posts that I found particularly noteworthy. Of these, some had particularly meaningful rants, some had interesting information you can't find anywhere else, some were just cute, and I also re-posted all the early posts that explained what was different between the manga and anime of early Kaiji and Akagi. Of note is that I re-posted most of the later Pen-Chan posts since they were all pretty meaningful, and most of the one-shot posts as well since they typically had some kind of philosophy in them. If you would like to read them, you can click the "Archived Post" tag on the right sidebar, otherwise you'll just be seeing my downward spiral into insanity. If you want me to re-publish more posts, please let me know in the comments of this post. That is all, thank you.
