Tbh no

no

The show doesn't explain the game. I went through it understanding nothing.

Still entertaining, though.

It's honestly better just knowing the basic explanation they give you. I enjoyed it more that way.
Once I learned/played mahjong and revisited it the series just felt like asspull after asspull.

it'll take you an hour or two to understand it max, you might as well learn it if you're going to watch 9 hours of akagi

I liked Kaiji a lot better, but then the manga goes to shit when it becomes about fucking mahjong too

Same, besides the times he straight up cheats. I'm still a sucker for keikaku though

Nobody knows what Akagi is doing.

Seriously? The show explains everything. I was able to understand rules by ep. 6 or 7.

Do not declare riichi's shit advice, a lot of times it's the only way to get anything out of an otherwise garbage hand or rush a win

When can we get more FKMT, tonegawa was great.

It's not a hard game to learn. On account of being a game.

Ten already did the more realistic mahjong route. Akagi was a spinoff about a legendary player's youth, so being over the top made sense. That being said, it's still way more interesting if you know the game, especially parts like the post-Urabe match explanation.

Wait so it really possible to enjoy Akagi and other mahjong manga by FKMT without knowing the shit out of mahjong? I was excited to read kaiji after watching s2 then it turns out it was a mahjong arc. Ive googled mahjong rules and i pretty much went braindead after reading those.

>Once I learned/played mahjong and revisited it the series just felt like asspull after asspull.
mahjong is like that, if anything Akagi's rounds are more realistic because most mahjong anime is yakuman spam

Akagi uses copious, bizarre metaphors to explain the meaning behind certain situations and hands.
Having basic mahjong knowledge helps, but you can get through the show with zero.

DKaiji seems like a very steep shift compared to the earlier games but Minefield is actually really simple
The best way to explain it is that they already have their hands ready and all they need is the 1 tile that either one discards to win
Try to keep this alone in mind if you read it without learning regular riichi rules

Don't read, play.

Just remember that tanyao and pinfu are the fundamentals of mahjong and that the sands in the depths of hell are magical sands and you'll be fine.

We had a Mamiya thread yesterday if you weren't there.
