Yes, started reading this, so put in a bit of more technical info here. I haven't played the game so much, but I watched enough competition mahjong to know its rules. If possible I use terminologies from the TabletopGame.Mahjong.


[[OutSick A nasty bout of the flu]] left Sae Kitaoji bedridden her whole first week at the prestigious Ootori Academy. Returning to school to find her classmates have all solidified into cliques, she instead chooses to spend her lunch break playing mahjong on her phone and lamenting her fate. Despite her love for the game, she's embarrassed about being seen playing it since [[GamesOfTheElderly it's something only uncles are into]] ... so imagine her surprise when the ClassPrincess Chise Kannami pops up behind her and takes an interest. Although Sae is flustered by the attention at first, as she teaches Chise and a growing circle of friends how to play mahjong, they bond over their mutual appreciation for the game.

!! ''Good Day to You, How About a Game?'' provides examples of:
* AnimeChineseGirl: The mobile game the characters play has a strong Chinese aesthetic (since mahjong is a Chinese game). Aside from their {{Digital Avatar}}s being fancy animal girls wearing elaborate Chinese-style clothing, the CPU players are dressed in stereotypical Mandarin garb with OdangoHair.
* BehindTheBlack: In chapter 3, Sae and Chise go all-out dueling with each other ... only for the CPU player to take them by surprise and win when they weren't looking.
* ChristianityIsCatholic: The series takes place in what seems like a stereotypical Catholic academy -- Chise even prays to God for Sae to win her mahjong game in chapter 1, and a little cross pops up from her steepled hands.
* ClassPrincess: The very first page of chapter 1 shows Chise surrounded by fawning admirers, begging to eat lunch with her. Sae's monologue remarks that she's known as "Chise the Goddess" by her fellow students.
* DeepImmersionGaming: When playing their mahjong mobile game, Sae and Chise imagine themselves as their {{DigitalAvatar}}s, seated around the mahjong table having a heated battle.
* DigitalAvatar:
** Sae uses a bunny girl in a ''UsefulNotes/{{Qipao}}'' as her avatar when she's playing her mahjong mobile game.
** When Sae challenges Chise to get her own account, Chise uses a twin-tailed (not the hairstyle, she literally has two tails) CatGirl.
* {{Exposition}}: For a game as complex as mahjong, both Sae and the scanlators' notes have to lay out the rules as they come up. The many, ''many'' rules.
* {{Expy}}: Saionji is a red-haired sycophant who idolizes the popular girl and is introduced spying on the main characters before ambushing them with a condescending, ''tsundere''-like attitude. In other words, Kana Ushiku from the author's previous manga, ''Manga/AnimaYell''.
* FishOutOfWater: Sae attends an elite girls' academy, but sticks out among the fancy young ladies like a sore thumb. She keeps her love of mahjong secret, since she's afraid they're snooty and will look down on her.
* FootnoteFever: The scanlations come with multiple pages of notes explaining the byzantine rules of mahjong.
* GamesOfTheElderly: Sae is deeply embarrassed about her mahjong hobby, since it's "the thing ''uncles'' usually play," as her classmate Saionji put it. However, once ClassPrincess Chise states she plays it, the easily-swayed sycophant Saionji immediately flip-flops and praises how open-minded she is.
* GenkiGirl: Despite seeming like your average cool beauty at first, Chise gets as excited as a puppy when she watches Sae play mahjong in chapter 1. Sae offers to let her press the button to win the game. It's enough to make Chise break out into a huge, beaming smile.
* GuiltyPleasures: Sae loves playing mahjong on her phone, but decides to keep it a secret from all the elite young ladies at Ootori Academy since she's afraid they'll dismiss it as a game for peasants. However, when Chise sneaks up behind her and takes a peek, she's intrigued by what she sees.
* OddCouple: The series is about an extroverted ClassPrincess, Chise, befriending a friendless introvert, Sae, over the game of mahjong.
* {{Ojou}}: Ootori Academy naturally attracts ''ojou'', due to its prestige. The manga's title even uses "''gokigenyou''", an excessively-polite greeting stereotypically associated with [[ProperLady Proper Ladies]].
* OneGenderSchool: Ootori Academy is a private Catholic academy that only accepts girls.
* OutSick: Sae was out the first week of school due to the flu, so she missed her chance to join a clique and feels left out.
* {{Pastiche}}: The manga takes place in a prestigious, all-girls' Catholic academy ripped straight out of ''Literature/MariaWatchesOverUs''-land.
* SliceOfLife: It's the latest in a long line of ''Magazine/MangaTimeKirara'' manga about the daily lives of ''moe'' girls doing an activity together. Last time, Unohana-sensei wrote [[Manga/AnimaYell about cheerleading]]. This time, it's TabletopGame/{{Mahjong}}.
* ThrowingDownTheGauntlet: In chapter 3, Sae is mortified at the thought of [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics dropping honorifics]] when speaking with Chise ... until Chise quips she might get another ''Suuankou''[[note]] Think a straight flush in TabletopGame/{{Poker}}[[/note]], at which point Sae sprouts some CrossPoppingVeins and ''gladly'' accepts her challenge.
* {{Yonkoma}}: Like its ''Kirara'' brethren, the manga is a four-panel comic, but it uses the wide layout (four panels that stretch all the way across the page) instead of the more-common ''Kirara'' style of two columns with four panels each. However, it also gets double the page count (16 pages) over a standard ''Kirara'' series (8 pages), so it's still about the same length.
