Pattern example

Aryanmen 「亜両面」 is a variation on the ryanmen waiting pattern, where the two tiles completing the sequence are next to a pair of one of the waiting tiles. As a result, the hand also has a pair wait on that tile. It is generally a weaker wait, however, as the pair uses up two of the eight possible waiting tiles, leaving only six possible tiles to win off of.

Tile pattern

Waiting for:

In this example, the underlying ryanmen wait is based on the 67m, but additionally, 567m can be viewed as a complete sequence, in which case the other 5m creates a pair wait.

When aryanmen is won with the waiting tile not already present in hand, the wait can only be interpreted as a ryanmen wait, and it will score 0 fu.
