The current mahjong boom is largely credited to the M League, founded in 2018. Earlier mahjong manga mostly treated the game as gambling. Saki is credited with pushing the high school club reading and the girls' club cast, a shift from the strip-style games of SUPER Real Mahjong. The manga has spawned anime, live-action drama, and spin-offs.
