Ryouma needs one billion yen for his terminally ill sister--but instead of a loan, he loses his life! Now he's stuck in Limbo with a sadistic angel named Kroel and four other victims of fate. If he can gamble his way to the top, he might just escape with both his life and the money he needs to save his sister. But if he fails, it's ashes to ashes, dust to dust--for all eternity!

Well, that was strange. It's embarrassing to admit (because look at that fucking cover) but this was kind of decent! Since the author died so I don't expect to read much of this, though I'm curious about who will die first and how...

Now this.. this was a banger. Picked it up on a whim and I already can’t wait to have volume 2 in my grubby little hands already!! Gore, gambling, high stakes risks and a deliciously dark atmosphere. Characters were all super interesting and I look forward to learning all their backstories and purposes for entering the game. Definitely continuing this one!

Shockingly amazingly good. Very fast paced manga about gambling, life and death. Don’t let the cover truck you. This is no goody goody Manga With a bunch of fan service. This is a bit of gore, violence, gambling, psychologically thrilling, Manga with a very thin coat of sex appeal. Definitely going to get volume 2!

I really liked this one alot and will be reading the rest of the series. Didn't really like the angels tushie hanging out but what can I do it's very minor compared to fan service now a days so im happy that's all that's hanging out lol

Not a fan of gambling based stories. I got it as the preview was of a brother trying to save his sister. Took a deal with what was presented as an angel.
I am also not a fan of the gender bending trope. So if you are a fan of a gambling gender bending anime this might be for you.

this was a different read for me as i don't really read much of the gory manga and i haven't really read or seen much of the gambling for your life in manga though i do now there are some other series out their

The cover and art style seem to be pretty misleading so far. I was so scared buying this book because as much as I love death games... I do not like lewd content. But this volume SERVED. What a great death game. I really cant wait to see what comes next and how there are six volumes of this

This manga is brutal and very interesting. The story line is simple yet very compelling and the characters are very complex and intriguing. There are twists and turns in every chapter. I can't wait to see what happens next.

Not nearly as trashy as the cover suggests, while still feeling like the latest Danganronpa ripoff.
