Naki no Ryuu Chapter 11

A new chapter of The Crying Dragon is here. Sorry for the delay (though I'm not too sorry since it was just a day, and we're doing it for free).

Thanks to Penchan for the cleans and typesetting. His exam season is starting once again in earnest, so the next couple of chapters will be similarly delayed.

Download

I just realized that the download links are going to be all out of order just because I forgot to put zeros in front of the first 9 chapters...oh well. In the end people will download the volumes, which won't have that problem since there's only 9 of them.



Andira (pronounced Anteira/Anchira in Japanese) represents the rabbit.

Personally I really enjoyed this chapter. Sakurada's demise was pretty emotional, just like Kai's. It's interesting how I feel for these people even though yakuza are actually pretty "evil" and "bad."

Though the thing that stood out to me most was how seemingly unskilled Ryuu's opponent was. Einstein, as I call him for his wild hair, kept thinking that Ryuu had honitsu hands when he probably should have also considered chanta/junchan. Literally every single hand Ryuu had was a chanta/junchan, and his discards probably should have at least given him a hint of that. It's too bad that his discards were generally not shown, though.

It was especially bad in the last hand. Why would you discard the 1-pin, a live dora tile, against a hand that's clearly junchan? He looks completely resigned when he discarded that tile, though, so maybe he was just completely flabbergasted by Ryuu's mad hax.

Anyways, I think that Ryuu's better out hand is my favorite so far. It just doesn't look like a better out, but the 3-man was sankantsu chanta chun dora 5, "only" a baiman,  while the 2-man was sankantsu toitoi sanshoku doukou chun dora 4, a sanbaiman.
