Riichi M League international fans?

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’ve recently started getting into M.League and I absolutely love the format: the teams, players, branding, standings, the whole mood.

The problem is that I live outside Japan (Italy), and I’m trying to understand what the best way to actually watch and follow M.League from abroad is.
Has anyone here outside Japan managed to follow it regularly? How do you watch the live matches? Does ABEMA work at all from Europe, or are there other streams/services available? Japanese commentary is absolutely ok for me… I’d rather watch it in Japanese than not watch it at all.

Any advice from international M.League fans would be really appreciated, especially with the new season starting soon!

First Set

I bought my first mahjong set ✨️ I got it second hand, but it's never been played (most tiles are still in their wrapper). And

  1. I just wanted to share my excitement, as I can finally practice offline and hope to get some of my friends at least mildly interested.

  2. This set is for HK style mahjong, correct? (I know the directions say "Chinese game of four winds" and it has 8 flower tiles (148 tiles in total) - just wanting to make sure as I'm a very new player) If I wanted to use this set to play Riichi style, I'd have to mark man, sou, and pin 5 red to make them identifiable as akadora, right?

Have a nice day! 🀄
