My favorites are ofcourse Akagi, Ten, Usagi, Tenpai, and most of what Katayama made. Saki is getting close to the list too.
What I like about saki is that mahjong is drawn to be more of a sport rather than gambling contrary to other typical mahjong-manga-worlds. The gameplay itself basicly reflecting realistic mahjong (internet mahjong, to be particular) adds to it. Yakumans don\'t happen every 2 games, and players don\'t resort to hell waits every so often. The logical type of player (Nodoka) doesn\'t get swatted like a fly as in stereo type mahjong manga and actually does pretty well. Know what I mean?
