Mahjongkrazy Happenings

Hey mahjong fans! Did you know that mahjongkrazy has been releasing new mahjong manga?! Well now you do! I'm here to announce THREE series that are getting releases! Go check them out at "Mahjongkrazy Branch" up there in the top bar! Thanks to Denji and Chuck for keeping releases coming!

First, there's the ever-popular Legendary Gambler Tetsuya, which had a long gap in releases, but that gap has been broken by our resident damn punk, Chuck190! Tetsuya is a manga about post-war japan and the mahjong games that happened around the 1940's, which involved some heavy cheating. Releases done sporadically.



Then, there's Naki no Ryuu, one of the pioneers of the mahjong manga scene, which popularized doing crazy stuff while playing and looking cool doing it. It stars a guy named Ryuu who plays for Yakuza in high-stakes mahjong games, and plays in a way that defies explanation. Released every friday.


Finally, I'm doing a manga called Mukoubuchi, a tale of high-stakes underground mahjong. The 1980's saw a big economic bubble that led to high stakes games unlike anything the world had ever seen. And in it, a man some call Kai lives as a Mukoubuchi, a lone-wolf gambler that lives off high-stakes games. Terribly sorry, but releases will only be every other monday.

FKMTkrazy Mahjong Tournament

Yes, you read it right, FKMTkrazy will be holding its first-ever Mahjong tournament on Friday and Saturday, September 18th - 19th! I originally wanted to have it on the 25th-26th, but the NYC mahjong tournament is being held then and I don't want to have to compete with them. What will the prize be, you ask? The winner of the tournament will receive... the right to choose which manga I translate next!!! But fear not, this will not interfere with our current release schedule. We will still be doing Kaiji as planned each week. More information below the cut.

April Fool's 2015: Akagi Zawa... Zawa... Anthology

So, to continue the tradition we started last year, here's a triple-dose of Akagi "Zawa..." "Zawa..." Anthology! This time, the theme is "Oneshots written by other famous Gambling Mangaka"! A big thanks to Denji for doing the translations for this one, and to Tambur for the ever-stellar typesetting, AND cleaning!

I will not be streaming this Sunday, because I'll be at Sakura-Con Friday-Sunday this week! If you're going, you should stop by the mahjong room and look for a guy with messy red hair and glasses so we can shoot the breeze! There will be a mahjong night this Saturday on the FKMTkrazy IRC, and I will not be there for similar reasons.
