~~'''Yagi Arc'''~~

The manga starts with Nangou, a gambler who has desperately bet his life insurance in a mahjong match against the yakuza. He has been losing for a while, but at just the right moment, Shigeru Akagi wanders win. Akagi does not know the rules of mahjong, but senses that Nangou is in trouble, and says "you'll only survive if you die". Nangou, encouraged, discards a dangerous tile, enters tenpai, and wins the hanchan. Afterwards, Nangou asks Akagi to play in the former's stead. Akagi does not make an impact at first, but through luck, skill, and sleight-of-hand, eventually overcomes the yakuza. Akagi asks to raise the stakes, but Yasuoka (a corrupt police detective, investigating Akagi's participation in a game of "chicken"), impressed by Akagi's performance, suggests to arrange ~~the~~ match at a later date. The former states that, if the stakes were too high, the yakuza wouldn't pay. ~~Since~~ Yasuoka ~~would get~~ a cut ~~from~~ the next match, he drops investigating ~~Akagi's~~ game of chicken.

The former states that, if the stakes were too high, the yakuza wouldn't pay. Akagi agrees, and waits for the next match. (Yasuoka, getting a cut of the next match's earnings, drops investigating the game of chicken.)

~~Akagi, with~~ Nangou waiting outside, pays a visit to his future opponents. He meets the blind mahjong master, Ichikawa, his next foe. He also picks up a revolver, challenging Ichikawa to a game of Russian roulette. Ichikawa, unnerved, allows the trigger to be pulled on him, then points the gun at Akagi, who also allows an empty shot. The gun had a second purpose - while Yasuoka dropped his case, the gang members who played the game of chicken wanted revenge. Akagi visits said gang members, allows himself to get injured "so he could claim self defense", and shoots twice at one of the member's legs. Akagi then points the gun at the member's head. The gang member, not as fortuitous as Ichikawa, faints, and the others run away.

Akagi's incursion makes him late for the mahjong match - Nangou is forced to play in his stead. Nangou plays a simple style of mahjong, which Ichikawa takes advantage of, until he is left at 2000 points. Akagi arrives at the nick of time. With 0 safe tiles left, Akagi plays a trick - he discards a tile, but shoving the previously discarded West to the current position, and announces he had discarded West. Ichikawa notices Akagi's cheating but is unable to prove anything.
