The second season of the Saki franchise, Saki: The Nationals, has arrived on Crunchyroll, complete with an English dub. This installment follows the Kiyosumi High School mahjong team as they advance to the national championship, facing off against formidable opponents in their quest for victory.
The series delves into the intense world of competitive mahjong, blending school life elements with strategic gameplay. While the original Saki established the characters and their unique abilities, The Nationals raises the stakes as the team navigates the pressures and rivalries of the interhigh tournament, all while protagonist Saki Miyanaga pursues a personal goal tied to her sister.
Produced by Studio Gokumi, the anime is an adaptation of the manga series. With its 13-episode run now fully available, viewers can experience the strategic depth and character-driven drama of the tournament arc.
