Closest thing: Saki's backstory involves her family getting upset if she won or lost mahjong, leading to her distaste for the game.

No sexual content is depicted, but Yuuki has a very vulgar way with words every now and then. Ex.: The team receives a video message and Yuuki jokes about it possibly being p*rn

There is a "tomboyish woman uncomfortable wearing dresses" joke, though: Sera in the Achiga arc is very averse to wearing dresses. Regardless, she is required to put one on for her matches. She seems quite uncomfortable doing so.

One character regularly eats tacos, if that counts, but this is more depicted as a character quirk than a severe problem.

Mahjong tiles clack. Also, a character wears a long, thin chain that makes a clink sound whenever she moves.

During the first competition, a character's good luck charm is stolen and destroyed. It is seamlessly restored soon afterwards.

While nobody actually soils themselves, a character does remark that she "should have gone to the bathroom" when she sees something that frightens her.

Yuuki seems to "need" to eat tacos, being unable to focus without them. But this is more depicted as a character quirk than a severe problem.

Nodoka is a famous mahjong player, and news reporters will sometimes take a stalker-ish approach toward her. She is never in any danger, as the reporters are more like a nuisance.

The show takes place in a few urbanized Japanese cities. Car horns are commonplace, but never utilized as a "jumpscare" or a threat to one's life.

Though there are a decent amount of actual explosions. The writers like to make fantasy violence metaphors for the games happening at the table. No explosions ever happen IRL.

rising water and drowning are used as visual metaphors for the state of a mahjong match, but this is imaginary.

Hatsuzumi has strong spiritual properties, and ghosts are present as a background element during her games. The ghosts do not hurt anybody.

Eisu team in the 2nd arc is composed of shrine maidens. During their games, some of the members allow themselves to get possessed in order to win. The possession is not at all perceived as painful, and the medium is unable to remember what happened.

Touki's ability depicts fast-moving images with a negative filter. A bit hard to look at, but it's brief.
