With a mix of comedy and mahjong drama, the manga industry welcomes the release of the first volume of "Roukyou Bakuto Den SOGA", a spin-off of the cult comic "Ten - Tenna Toori no Kaidanji". The series revolves around the character Soga Miitsu, known as the "Monster of the West," as he faces off against legendary mahjong players like Ten and Akagi. The story begins several years after Akagi's funeral, when Soga miraculously recovers from a lung disease and decides to retire in a nursing home. However, the facility, Manoir de Bonheur, turns out to be a casino-style retirement home that far exceeds Soga's expectations.
Coinciding with the manga debut, a revised edition of the 2011 mahjong guidebook "Akagi Nyumon no Tōhai" has also been released, offering a fresh perspective for those unfamiliar with the game's rules. The story humorously follows Akagi and his friends as they embark on their journey into the world of mahjong by enrolling in a mahjong middle school. This edition features a new cover and colored illustrations by Tomoki Miyoshi from "SOGA".
