Readers of suspected nopan mahjong manga Saki are lately marvelling at the manga’s profound transformation into a loliblob manga of epic proportions…
Whether this actually constitutes improvement is a matter of some debate – although given its readership the consensus is unlikely to be hostile.

Must be the power of tacos.
I kind of liked... the old president.
Such a drastic change in style. She had the elder sister aura about her and this lolification isn't an improvement.
Hopefully it's just a short term candy.

Taco Bell ring any bells?
I got a craving for some tacos now.
tacos will save the world from aging
Better living through mahong.
Better living through mah dong? I agree.
This is simply change in character design as it happens with all the improving mangaka. The change in Keiichi Morisato's design was immense. Besides, the new Saki looks great!
There's simple stylistic changes as a creator gets more experience, and then there's pandering to the lowest common denominator for a hopeful increase in sales.
And I'm fully betting the editor had two hands in this artistic direction.
I wouldn't say the change is as immense as Belldandy.
I own all volumes and from what I can see, Belldandy's face didn't just warp in one way. Volume 1, volume 6 and volume 23(the one she's settled with) looked as if Belldandy was drawn by 3 different people.
Though that isn't as much to nitpick as Fujishima modelling Belldandy's behavior to Kikuko Inoue. When shown in the manga not directly following the storyline, Belldandy didn't look as perfect and dreamy as she is in the first 3 volumes compared to later adaptations. To me, that sucks in a way, because the Belldandy that we see today sometimes look too pretentious.
Wow, you weren't kidding!

This guy just can't commit to a solution, can he? He should have stopped right about it the middle of the chart, I think. It looked good and classic without being forced.
Volume 8 Belldandy was best imo
Toldja.
I think Fujishima tried too hard in his pursuit for perfection in Belldandy. Although certain story arcs actually played directly into her insecurities and darksides, Belldandy is otherwise increasingly becoming a forced representation of perfect beauty and elegance. Sure, she's supposed to be a First Class Goddess, but so is Peorth, and the latter's behavior with Keiichi was anything but 'perfect'. Therefore, I can't see why should Fujishima try too hard to make her a Goddess in the most strict sense of the word.
Any true explanation for all that would reside with Fujishima, but honestly, I thought the Belldandy that I saw until halfway through Volume 5, and briefly in the last chapter of Volume 9, was her least pretentious period.
basically, he level-ed up?
He HAS been racking up the experience points over the years.
More lolis is always a good thing.
there is no such thing as too many Lolis.
So long as boobs aren't lost in the transition, I'm happy.
Depends, i don't particularly like giant boobs on my loli.
That pretty much defeats the point of loli. ;)
LOLIS FOR THE LOLI GOD! MOE FOR THE MOE THRONE!
Why are more lollies a good thing? Too much sugar is bad for your health.
sure if you are a lonely pedophile in your mothers basement
Confirmed, then!
Is there really such a thing as too many lolis?
Needs more lolis.
any more lolified and this will turn into mitsudomoe
mitsudomoe is pretty damn funny
I'm down with that.
some big breasted lolis might help the balance
then they are not lolis, they are midgets or dwarfs : /
didn't watch kodomo no jikan, eh?
Please lolificate my wife. (^_^)
Either they aged backwards or someone shot them with a shrinking beam somewhere in the middle of the series. Can we see the recent Nodoka, please? I would like to know how she'd look like now as a small body delicious loli with big bosoms..
Nice! No Way Can I Complain! =)
The more the lolis the best
Keicocku doori!
Way to fucking ruin it. I mean it had already hit rock bottom but apparently that did not stop it from taking another dive.
Now it looks like children competing against each other in mahjong.
I don't think it's an improvement so much as it is them saying "look we have lolis!"
Well how else to draw attention from otaku's.
Nonsense. This is obviously a fake - the images are clearly from a hentai doujin. Right?
Profound transformation my ass. You sure the original artist didn't die or something? Not that I'd dare to object. Er, with the change in style of course.
so cute!!!
Clearly an upgrade.
the characters now look like the way they act. I've always thought Saki characters were out of place. Their head look young, but their body look too large
I dunno I liked the older art style. I don't like the lolified art style because some characters are meant to look mature.
Another epic fail
