Synopsis

Kicked out for being loud, Nashiko turns her dad's old mahjong parlor into a hangout and discovers mahjong.

When Nashiko Jippensha's mother kicks her out of the house for being too loud, the high school girl needs to find a new place to hang out with her friends. Luckily, Nashiko's father owns a closed-down mahjong parlor that is perfect for her needs. While cleaning out the place, Nashiko discovers a talking bird who introduces himself as a mahjong spirit, encouraging her to try playing the game with her friends. Realizing that they enjoy the game immensely, Nashiko and her friends decide to continue playing and enjoy the new space they have to hang out.
