Ako, Shizuno, and Nodoka were best friends in middle school, often going to Achiga Girls’ School to play Mahjong.  But as time passed, they saw each other less and less of each other.  That was until Shizuno saw Nodoka win the middle school Mahjong Singles tournament.  She is determined to meet her friend again, at the inter-high mahjong tournament!
I think I probably won't 
be here next spring, either.
لا أظنني سأكون هنا في الربيع المقبل
Probablemente yo...no esté aquí 
para la próxima primavera.
Probablemente yo no siga por aquí en primavera...
Je pense que je ne serai plus là 
non plus en avril prochain.
È probabile che debba andarmene anch'io,
 la prossima primavera.
Acho que também não vou
estar aqui no ano que vem.
