On the latest issue of manga magazine, "Young Gangan", it was revealed that Igarashi Aguri's spin-off manga, "Saki - Achiga-hen episode of side - A", would be getting an anime adaptation in the spring of 2012.

"Achiga-hen", which started its serialization in the September issue of "Monthly Shonen Gangan", portrays a completely different story from the original "Saki".�"Saki" revolves around high school girls who train hard to win the national high school mahjong competition. In 2009, it gained popularity as it was adapted into a tv anime. "Achiga-hen" will focus on 'Haramura Nodoka', one of the main characters from "Saki", and her childhood friends 'Ako' and 'Shizuno'.

More details are scheduled to be announced in the December issue of "Monthly Shonen Gangan".
