With Achiga it isn't nearly as believable, though.
In Kiyosumi you had Saki who was shown to be very talented from the get go, with Nodoka not so far behind. Hisa was also shown to be rather talented.
Mako and Yuki were the weak points of the team, but they could do some shit.
Achiga was a group of girls that hadn't played mahjong in years and suddenly decided they wanted in because their old friend got in. Kuro and Ako were supposed to be the big things in their team, but Kuro failed when she met strong opponents and while Ako did some shit, she isn't a monster player. Yuu and Arata are okay, but they're mid tier at best, and Shizu runs fully on plot armour.
Genau das, die anderen Teams hätten sie eigentlich schon längst aus dem Turnier hauen müssen die Faust des Nordsterns. D>
Aber egal, in der Wintersaison gibt es endlich die letzten Folgen, ich freue mich. >w<
