That’s exactly what bothers me. We finally get a normal pace where I can understand some of the drama happening during the mahjong match, but then suddenly, we get the “main character effect,” where our beloved protagonist somehow wins out of nowhere. I understand the whole “heart of the cards” idea (like Yu-Gi-Oh!), but here it feels like, “They have to win because the show must continue.” The good thing is that we now have a subplot involving Harue, which adds some extra flavor to the story.
