There are a lot of things to be sad about in life. But Pon No Michi not being legally streamed in the West is pretty high on the list.

Currently airing on WatchPonNoMichiHD.com. Pon No Michi has a plot that most parents wish they could follow. When Nashiko Jippensha is being too loud for her mom’s liking, she kicks her out. Since she can no longer make a ruckus at her house, Nashiko asks her dad to lend her his abandoned mahjong parlor, and it quickly becomes her not-so-secret base.

But while seriously taking on mahjong is far from her mind, her companions, both old and new, want nothing more than to play with those sweet mahjong tiles. Because of this, her new hideout becomes a gathering place for her now mahjong-addicted friends, who do everything except properly explain/play mahjong.
