Synopsis:
Based on the satirical mahjong manga by Oowada Hideki originally serialised in the Kindai Mahjong Original manga magazine published by Takeshobo, then switched to bimonthly serialisation on Takeshobo's other mahjong manga magazine Kindai Mahjong in April 2009.
The premise of the story is that international diplomacy is settled on the mahjong table, with real-life politicians depicted as masters of mahjong. The title, Mudazumo Naki Kaikaku (Reform with no Wasted Draws), is a parody of Koizumi Jun'ichirou's slogan, "Seiiki Naki Kaikaku" (Reform with no Sanctuary, 聖域無き改革).
Although based on real-life politicians, the characters are, as the disclaimer notes, "works of fiction and not really related to any real-life people".

[Triad] Episode 01 (http://www.nyaatorrents.org/?page=download&tid=151240)
First heard about it five months ago from :
The Guardian (http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/booksblog/2010/mar/01/best-contemporary-japanese-novel-manga)
Been waiting for this since I heard about it fair while back, glad Triad decided to pick it up.
Its broken up into ~7minute segments, each somewhat, kind of revolves around a mahjong match, which then turns into... well lord knows what.
It's fairly random (Bush Jr. & Chairman Mao both make appearances!), like it so far, and fairly curious what they do with the rest of the OVA.
