Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Ten - The Blessed Way of the Nice Guy is an earlier series by the creator of Akagi and Kaiji, Fukumoto Nobuyuki. It was serialized in Kindai Mahjong Gold from 1989 to 2002, and compiled into 18 volumes.Takashi Ten is called to a Mahjong club one night to play against a young mahjong player. Having just robbed Ten's friends blind at mahjong, Ten arrives to take back his winnings. Ten's mahjong style becomes more apparent as the game progresses...amateurish! Ten cheats in the last round, using a move called the Tsubame Gaeshi, and winning with a Tenhou hand. Hiroyuki is angered once Ten admits he cheated after the game. Ten is a friendly guy who happens to be good at Mahjong. Or, more appropriately, good at cheating at Mahjong. If someone is betting on a Mahjong game and ends up in a pinch, they call Ten to win for them. He always does, and because he understands how frustrating it is, always has the courtesy to give the people he cheats against a chance to beat him up. With his friends Hiroyuki, Ken, Akagi, and others, he eventually decides to take on something much bigger than cheating in small gambles.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

A Good Way to Die | |
| Ten - The Blessed Way of the Nice Guy (Manga) / int_1950b76f | comment |
A Good Way to Die: Even though Akagi takes his own life rather than waste away by a terminal illness, his method of death is painless and peaceful. Not only that he invites the men closest to him to see him individually one last time. Each man discussed how they felt about the situation but by and large received closure. In the end Akagi died fulfilled with no regrets being able settle things with the people closest to him. If you are someone who fears death, you need to read this part of the manga. You will find that afterwards, death might just be a little less scary. | |

A Lighter Shade of Grey | |
| Ten - The Blessed Way of the Nice Guy (Manga) / int_d78ea1dc | comment |
A Lighter Shade of Grey: the West side acts smug and is willing to cheat more often, so they are portrayed as the villains, though the East side is also made up of yakuza who are only in it for the money and would cheat when given half a chance. Nobody is a saint, but nobody is a monster either. At the end of the story, the West characters who were invited to Akagi's planned funeral are also trying to stop him, and are seen crying like everyone else when he dies. | |
