I love riichi mahjong, and I've been on a quest to watch/read every mahjong anime/manga. You'd be surprised how much media exists for a board game.
Akagi is peak, my favorite anime/manga of all time, and everything else by Nobuyuki Fukumoto is fantastic too. Saki has very entertaining moments during the games... but is kind of insufferable between games. Legend of Koizumi is hilariously silly, though the manga ran way too long after the joke had run its course. Tohai starts off very strong, becomes ridiculously edgy, and then kept going until I just ironically enjoyed how stupid it was. Legendary Gambler Tetsuya feels like it was made to piss me off as a mahjong player.
But the most underappreciated manga-only hidden gem has gotta be Tetsunaki no Kirinji. This one really feels like it was written for serious mahjong players, the moment it started lampooning the differences in playstyle between online and IRL play I knew I was reading something special. Praying it someday gets an anime adaptation.
Great! I already had Ultimate Survivor (from another niche list) by Fukumoto on the list so I will definitely be checking out Akagi! Thanks
