The world of manga and anime has thousands upon thousands of titles. Popular in Japan since the 1950s, this medium keeps telling different stories, only to evolve over time to suit everyone’s tastes. As for gambling and betting, Kakegurui dominates the charts.
Available on Netflix, the manga and anime focuses on Hyakkou Academy, a respected private institution where students compete for positions of power. Gaming and betting are the basis of everything, but the balance is upset by the entry of Yumeko Jabami, the protagonist of Kakegurui. Along with other high school students, Yumeko will also push his limits several times. Mercury paid homage to the girl in this one Yumeko Cosplay by Kakegurui Preparing for a new game.
kakegurui is a manga written by Homura Kawamoto and drawn by Tooru Naomura, serialized in Square Enix’s Gangan Joker Magazine since March 2014. He therefore has a long serialization behind him and moderate popularity, which then convinced studio MAPPA to get an additional anime of Seasons. However, the adventures of Hyakkou High School also continue with Kakegurui Twin and other offshoots that have expanded the brand and deepened the story of certain characters over time.
