Happy Halloween

Hi there, its Biggums. No new manga chapters yet, just wanted to wish everyone a happy Halloween

I chiseled a Kaiji Pumpkin

For this blog post I spent some time scouring for the frighteningest, chillingest, spine tinglingest images that Fukumoto sensei could conjur up. There's a whole bevy of ghouls and monsters straight outta the online pages of these gambling mangas. Be warned, below the cut are some severely spooky FKMT metaphors!

Mahjongkrazy & Death Pie

Hey, this is gonna be a pretty short blog post, but for those of you who have been asking if FKMTkrazy would ever consider doing Mahjong Manga that isn't by Fukumoto, the answer is no. However, that's why we put up the Mahjongkrazy branch for all that stuff that wasn't written by Fukumoto, but is still Mahjong. And yes, we're going to scanlate Tetsuya at some point... when is the question. For Death Pie, I'm not really gonna do any blogging, even though I am the translator, because the releases are primarily for HappyScans. I'll still post a link to their blog posts here and leave the comments open, but I won't be opening up a new blogspot page or anything until we start releasing stuff that's exclusively on Mahjongkrazy. You can find Mahjongkrazy's mediafire here, but I'd suggest downloading it at HappyScan's mediafire, the link to which can be found at their blog.


...though I just gotta say, this manga is really, really crazy. Kazuhiko dug it up when he was looking for some Shimamoto manga that HappyScans could do, and saw in it the perfect collab between the two of us (Kazu is a member of both groups). It's got Mahjong, Shimamoto awesomeness, espionage, the works. It's a lot like Legend of Koizumi in that regard, but while still maintaining some semblance of seriousness about it.

Mahjong Day Kraziness

Okay. I've noticed that the attendance rate for Mahjong Days has dropped down sharply in the past weeks. So, to hopefully remedy that situation slightly, here's some of the crazy stuff that goes on at Mahjong Day! Which will mostly consist of screenshots. Mahjong day is every Saturday at 23:00 or 00:00 GMT! Come and join us sometime!

First, we have an incredible 24-Han Yakuman from Noname, who has shown up to every Mahjong Day since it started:

Bear in mind, you only need 13 Han to make a counted Yakuman. So essentially, Noname got nearly two times what you need to make a Yakuman!! Talk about overkill! And it didn't help that all the new Dora were from his San Kan Tsu, which is rare enough by itself! Some day, I'll get a Yakuman myself and join the ranks of Noname and Kazuhiko in the Yakuman club. Great job!
