I steered clear of this one due to my lack of any knowledge about Mahjong. I have similarly stayed away from a couple series (including manga) in the past that have focused on shogi since I don't know anything about it. I am glad that it exists for the people with interest in it, but it still needs to be a good story.
I am familiar with Mahjong, and I still found it boring.
Of the more Japanese/Asian-centric game manga/anime, I hear Hikaru No Go, and Chihayafuru are both good, but I'm not motivated to watch either of them.
Hikaru no Go and Chihayafuru work because they're more about the characters than about how the game they're playing works (although in both cases, the anime does take the time to explain the game—I've never played go or karuta, but I had no trouble following what was going on). They take the standard coming-of-age concept (plus a love triangle, in the case of Chihayafuru), and do it well.
I have no intention of trying out Pon no Michi, though, since I have no reason to believe it will be up to the quality of those other series.
