20 years ago today, the first chapter of the Saki manga was published in Young Gangan (February 3, 2006).

After the first three chapters, the proper serialization of the manga began in June 2006 (and the chapters were called "Rounds" since then).

Ritz was always somewhat inconsistent with breast sizes. She also increased them because they are growing girls and had to increase the size of other characters. So yeah, someone could very well make such a chart (Nodoka became K cup in 2021).

Ritz seems to stick to a few ground rules when it comes to boob size
Kasumi should always have the biggest boobs
Characters known for having huge tits like Nodoka are larger than the rest
MCs like Saki, Shizu, pre-high school Shino, and Toki must be flat
Lolis like the Kodomo, Hatsumi, and Hajime must also be flat
Everyone else depends on how horny Ritz is while drawing them

>Perhaps they will do something in June...
Ritz did state there will be a SakiFes in June but the wording did not indicate that it will be any different from the annual festival where they release everything together
It's even weirder that Toki gets a volume release in March now but I assume it will get new arts for SakiFes release
>>
I don't remember seeing this many distraught Japanese fans over no 10th anniversary news... The 15th anniversary created quite a precedent huh
And it might not help that last year we got a character poll and a new mahjong set... And Ritz made stuff for the 20th anniversary of YG...

The trend with Awai was too good to be true. I knew the day would come where it would have to be reined in, and sure enough she "spent" a special resource, removing the only reason I was keeping up with this insane comic.

And then there was that chapter where Ritz showed that Nodoka's huge tits were a result of both her evolving art style AND Nodoka's in-universe breast growth

Re-reading the original 3-chapter one shot, there was surprisingly little to no emphasis on Nodoka's breasts
I guess Ritz was being cautious after Fatalizer was axed since the character Nodoka was based on was an oppai loli from the start

Two girls with small or medium tits won't have the hugging problem so couples like Touka x Hajime are fine
But there aren't really any serious big tits x big tits couples in Saki

If Saki gets a new season, I hope it's done by a studio like Passione
The casual ecchiness is a core part of Saki's identity

Speaking of the Shindouji ace duo, it's weird how Ritz never showed their backstory
All the other couples and aces got at least a chapter or some extra comics that showed their history, but I don't remember these two getting one
