Sega's MJ Mahjong App Opens Haruhi Suzumiya Tournament
Sega is using a licensed TV anime property as the reward layer for a competitive mahjong ladder rather than a standalone cosmetic sale, which ties tournament participation directly to item collection.

Sega launched "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya CUP" on Monday, October 26, 2026, a collaboration tournament for the app and arcade versions of Sega NET Mahjong MJ. Two preliminary rounds run from October 26 to November 1 and November 2 to November 8, with finals November 9 to 15. App players collect an evolution-type SP character (UR) Mikuru Asahina, a Tsuruya-san SP character, table backgrounds, EX backgrounds, win buttons and win effects.
Preliminaries split into two weekly blocks, each closing at 29:59 on its final Sunday. The finals run the third week. Players compete for total score in two categories held at the same time: East-round games and three-player games, with a score threshold deciding who advances.
The app version pays out event points for an evolution-type SP character (UR) of Mikuru Asahina and a Tsuruya-san SP character, alongside five table backgrounds, three EX backgrounds, two win buttons and one win effect. A separate gacha carries 52 collaboration items, including an evolution-type SP character (UR) of Haruhi Suzumiya, plus BGM, win animations, EX frames and EX backgrounds.
