Welcome back to the Saki Series!
This article will be about second-year student Hajime Kunihiro who is also a part of the Ryuumonbuchi Mahjong Club!
Saki is a 25 episode long anime that describes the journey of the protagonist – Miyanaga Saki through her first ever Mahjong tournament. She disliked Mahjong but after meeting many people, she realises her talent in Mahjong; and leads her school team, Kiyosumi High School Mahjong Club, to victory in the Prefecture Qualifiers to attend the National Tournament. The first season of Saki introduces the main characters of the top four mahjong teams in ‘Nagano’ which is the prefecture Saki lives in and the following seasons describe Kiyosumi Mahjong Club in the national tournament until the semi finals as well as other teams. The Ryuumonbuchi Mahjong Club was the previous prefecture representative for Nagano and was one of the four school in the finals with Kiyosumi. The anime belongs to the Shoujo, School, Game, Ecchi, Slice of Life and Shoujo-ai genres.
Hajime is a second-year student and is Ryummonbuchi Touka’s personal maid who was recruited into Ryuumonbuchi High School because of her mahjong. Originally in middle school/primary school, she used ‘slight of hand’ to cheat in a mahjong tournament which lead to her team being disqualified, however Touka noticed Hajime’s special mahjong skills and pretty much forced her to join Ryuumonbuchi. Touka ‘bought’ Hajime by giving Hajime’s father lots of money as he wasn’t earning anything recently (he’s a magician). Hajime used to wear a moon sticker tattoo on her right cheek; however after being forced to play mahjong with Amae, she was scarred and took it off as it reminded her of that terrible night.
Hajime did help the Ryuumonbuchi Mahjong Club win the prefecture finals in her first-year however in her second-year, she lost the finals round to Takei Hisa of the Kiyosumi Mahjong Club.
