The deep-seated detestation of mahjong that has rooted itself within Saki Miyanaga's heart can be traced back to the tribulations of her childhood. Averse to attracting attention, she guards her true capabilities closely whenever the game is involved. However, an unexpected turn of events unfolds when her friend, Kyoutarou Suga, drags her into the school's mahjong club. It is within these hallowed halls that she crosses paths with Nodoka Haramura, the reigning champion of the illustrious national middle school mahjong tournament, as well as Yuuki Kataoka, another devoted club member. As the club indulges in a few rounds of this captivating game, Saki meticulously conceals her gifted abilities. Yet, much to her surprise, the observant club president, Hisa Takei, discerns Saki's peculiar approach and intuits the immense potential she harbors.
