==Characters== | |||
Of all the high schools in the tournament, two teams are specially featured from opposite sides of the national tournament: Kiyosumi High School and Achiga High School. Both teams are initially deemed as the "underdog" schools of the tournament. Relatively unknown, they made their way through the tournament encountering other schools along the way. | |||
===Special abilities=== | |||
Various characters feature special abilities surrounding different aspects of the game. For example, the title character Saki wields the ability to win via [[rinshan kaihou]] at abnormally high rates. These different powers with the different character personalities are then matched together in the mahjong games throughout the tournament. | |||

This is the general setup in both the regional and national tournament. | Participants play their games in a large and staged room.
