Quick thoughts: Interesting premise that's held back a bit for the sake of a more accessible formula. I wish there was more straight up game skill. The concept of evaluating intuition via gambling loses steam with so much cheating going on.
That said, The game variations are interesting, as are the various "methods" of play. Yumeko is both compelling and rather disturbing at the same time, and a strong lead. 3.5 rounded down. I'll likely be continuing. ...more

Having watched the first season of the series, I can only say that this suffers from many of the same problems. The games are short with the tension more on the person facing Jabami, not Jabami herself. You do not see the struggle as Jabami searches for the key to the puzzle, only the clever reveal at the end. As a result, we don't get to go through the same sort of struggle and triumph as you would feel in Kaiji or other non-fight battle manga. Fanservice is mildly obscene.

The author seems to take games you are familiar with (rock, paper scissors) and make a slight twist to them that makes it even more challenging. All that imagination and creativity to making these games are extremely impressive. The strategy is a ...more

This was so good, and I didn’t expect it to be THAT. And yes, this like Prison School but in gambling and no boys, and the live action got me here.
