The cover of this issue features the "too cute to stop playing mahjong" Enako! The booklet contains "Mahjong Combo Theory," a novel approach to estimating punggol rate and push-pull tactics. The DVD includes three full games from "Mahjong Saikyosen 2025 ~Master and Disciple Forever Bound by Fate~," featuring an Atomic Reach showdown?

Popular manga series include "SOGA," "Mukoubuch," and "Peak Out." "Reminiscences of M," which delves into the lives of M.League players, returns with a powerful comeback featuring Kotaro Uchikawa, who transformed from the Knight of Roses to the Crimson Samurai!
