Their choice for the gateway game would be Marrakech, a tile-laying with a die roll element. For a first episode, they probably weren’t going to pick something more involved. Houkago Saikoro Club’s Gateway Game: Marrakechīut what made it better was how Miki and Aya were introduced to gaming. What I found gives me the impression that this is one well-stocked game store! A few examples of the myriad games on the shelves include titles like Patchwork, Splendor, Azul, Descent, Bunny Kingdom, and a whole lot more! Exploring a friendly game store is usually enough to make me feel giddy and Saikoro Club’s environs are no exception. I found myself scanning the Saikoro Club’s shelves to see what games were on display. In a good way! It starts with Miki and Aya entering the eponymous Saikoro Club and seeing shelves and tables stacked full of games. And in this regard, the anime also falls in line with my expectations. The Saikoro Club’s Main Attraction: Gamesīut then again, I remarked in the prologue piece for Houkago Saikoro Club that I’m really here for the fanservice. There’s nothing particularly novel here, which means Houkago Saikoro Club mostly falls in line with my expectations. Up to this point, the plot goes pretty much on the rails of the misfit trying to find her place in the world. The action starts when Miki and Aya start heading home, but catch Midori heading towards her afterschool job as a clerk in a game store. The first episode of Houkago Saikoro Club opens with Miki talking about her socially awkward disposition and then proceeds to have Aya pushing Miki to open up with an impromptu tour of Kyoto. ![]() She also serves as the class rep in the series. School rules, club rules, and, naturally, board game rules. Finally, we have Midori, who is all about rules. Aya is the energetic girl with the heart of gold, but who I predict will bear the brunt of other people’s in-game jabs. Except less timid, though having a few extra decades of life experience might have something to do with that. She gets my fullest sympathies since I’m sort of the same way. Her background is that of a socially awkward person who doesn’t enjoy “fun” activities that most other people would enjoy. For one, the show’s protagonist, Miki, isn’t a new student. ![]() Most of my predictions for Houkago Saikoro Club were a bit off.
