Ryanmenten 「両面」 is a wait pattern, that is actually a combination of two ryanmen (open wait). This pattern utilizes a string of five consecutive numbered tiles in the hand. The exact middle tile of this string is one of the waiting tiles, while the other two hand off the edge of the string.
Tile pattern
Waiting for: 
- or 
Fu
Just like ryanmen, this tile pattern does not reward any fu.

Ryanmenten is a powerful wait due to the large number of waiting tiles: 11 maximum possible. That number cannot be 12, due to one waiting tile (the middle number) already present in the hand. With suji, the waiting pattern involves one of the three mahjong intervals.
