Saki not Sake

Miyanaga Saki is a high school freshman who doesn’t like mahjong. Ever since she  was a child, she would lose her New Year’s gift money during her family mahjong  game. If she won, her parents would be upset, and if she lost, well, she lost.  As a result, she’s learned to play in such a way that her score always remains  plus/minus zero: not good enough to win, but not bad enough to lose. When we  meet her, she’s being dragged to her school’s mahjong club by an old friend. How  will a girl who hates mahjong, yet has become adept at the game as a result of  her upbringing, survive in this environment?
