Synopsis

In the year 1947, the people of Shinjuku are down on their luck. With little money to buy food or necessities, some resort to gambling in order to survive. Traveling Tetsuya chooses to spend his time at Mahjong parlors where he is wiping the floor clean with his adversaries. However, when Tetsuya meets the intensely skilled Boushu-san, he realizes that his skills are still lacking.

To be honest, I have played Mahjong a little, but I don't know everything about the rules. However, I found the setting of post-war Japan interesting enough to give such a niche anime a chance. And I was satisfied, because despite the specific subject matter, the story is more than understandable even without knowing ...
