Resumo
Hyakkaou Private Academy is a school for the privileged and influential, playing host to the children of businessmen and politicians. However, unlike other schools, students at Hyakkaou do not pride themselves on academic achievement. Instead, they value strategic prowess and the ability to read people. Come nightfall, many places on campus transform into gambling dens overseen by the student council, where players compete for rank, money, and more.
Ryouta Suzui spends his days as a "house pet"—a student ranked in the bottom one hundred, forced to serve his peers. His circumstances soon change when a mysterious new transfer student, Yumeko Jabami, arrives at the academy. Despite Suzui's warnings, Yumeko quickly becomes immersed in the school's gambling scene, facing off against several high-profile opponents. Her exploits draw the attention of the student council members, who start meddling in her affairs. Suzui tries his best to keep Yumeko out of trouble, but to his chagrin, she turns out to be the type of person best suited to attend Hyakkaou: a compulsive gambler.

Kakegurui review
Here's my take after reading 45 chapters (8 Volumes) of Kakegurui by Tooru Naomura (Art) and Homura Kawamoto (Story).
First and foremost, when I see that the manga that I am reading is manga created by a duo of writer and artist, I immediately get excited and my eyes light up. Not all mangakas are geniuses like (Togashi-san and Odachii) so I really appreciate it when one person steps down for another person to improve the story by his art and give life to his art by the writing. Kakegurui is a story revolving around the compulsive gambler Yumeko Jyabami and her gamble escapades at the Hyakkaou Private Academy. From the very start of the manga, you will notice a distinct treatment on the art. All characters drawn pops out, and their expressions are strongly portrayed on every panel. You will feel the sense of tension from every raise, call or challenge in every game that the characters gambles on. But what really grabbed me and glued me in the story is how the main character Jyabami characterized. Her split persona is reminiscent of Yugi (Atem) from the Yu-Gi-Oh franchise, but magnify the lunacy and gambling perversion by ∞. This is simply amazing and so addicting to consume from start to finish. I would say that the games played here are mere tools for the characters to show their quirkiness and characterization and most of the characters are not too fleshed out but I believe this was intentional for the main characters in the story to stand out and do their thing. You may feel that the story is fan servicey at some points; however, this was not forced and perfectly written and executed. All in all, if you like gambling manga aside from Kaiji, this is a must read, or if you like psychological/mind game type of stories I advise you to bet on your time here and you will surely not regret it. I gamble 9 Jyabami chips out of 10 on Kakegurui. (I want to keep 1 for myself) |
Kakegurui review
I have never written a review before but I feel like I have to mainly because how outstanding this manga is. The world needs more manga like this. Why?
STORY 10 /10 I'll start from story. Pacing is perfect. At some point in manga you start to think "I think I know how this'll end up". But here's the best part - even though you KNOW how it will end up, you enjoy it either way - that's how good the writting is and it furthermore amuses reader. It's amusing to read and just see in which direction everything falls and the more you read - the more you're hooked into the story. ART 10/10 In my opinion from the very cover of this manga you can clearly see just what a gorgeous drawing this manga has. CHARACTER 9/10 Now this is something I have noticed not in many manga. This is just my opinion, but the way these antagonists are introduced you begin off of hating them. I would often find myself irritated by their arrogance and wishing these people would get what they deserve. And this is the point - the way their true intentions, true personality show up after they're completely crushed it makes you to feel pity for them and it furthermore proves my point that characters are built well. And as I read more and more - they developed, changed. So that alone is a valid proof of why this manga is so great. ENJOYMENT 10/10 Enjoyed every page of this manga. OVERALL 10/10 Although some characters needed a bit more to be explored, I'd say that this manga is far from finished and it'll all come together in the end. Anybody that is looking for some kind of different high school settling - this should fit to your liking. |
Kakegurui review
In this age of anime and manga infested with average goody two shoes main characters, wouldn't watching the assholes, sadists and psychos take the spotlight be quite fun and refreshing? If your answer is yes then Kakegurui is for you.
"Gambling is the reason to exist." Apply this quote to every student in this school.. Why? Well, that's the damn reason why the institution where our characters enroll is even standing erect for. Hyakkaou Private Academy, where the wealthiest of the wealthy come and enroll to show their prowess in gambling and deceit... or in other words, where the spoiled brats who think highly of themselves come to gather and fuck each other up. Everything here can and will be treated as a gamble. Looking to play Rock, Paper, Scissors? Why not toss in a bet of 100 million yen for each player while you're at it? Want to play a game of dice? Well, why don't we double up the stakes at 200 Million Yen? Huge amounts of money here is treated as cheap change, yes, but once you do run out of it, please prepare for the worst. Not even your human rights are safe once you do fall in a debt, is all I can say. Abuse of power, trickery, sadism, as expected of a system that is driven by money, it's all in here. It really is screwed up but that's what makes it fun, does it not? The characters are what makes this story what it is. From bastards and bitches to evils geniuses or just plainly insane, that's what makes most of our cast. Just seeing them interact with each other is a lovely sight and the development they get from doing said interactions is what drives me to read further and further into the story. The art is fantastic. It just perfectly captures the characters' various emotions and moments. Ecstasy when they're winning, despair when they know they're good as fucked, shock when shown deceit, desperation when they're way behind the game, hell even orgasms.. you name it and it's done beautifully. Enjoyment is a 10/10. Watching jerks getting owned by our main characters' (who are by far no pure-hearted people themselves) intricate trickery and plain ingenuity is just too much of a pleasure for me. |
Kakegurui review
Facial expressions! This manga has some of the best facial expressions i've ever seen!
The story is intense, thrilling, interesting and satisfying. The Art is amazing, smooth and memorable. i'm giving it a 10/10! for this manga. This manga will keep you in the edge of your seat. So, In this review i'll focus on critique of the manga. and i'll try to keep this spoiler free. Our main character, Yumeko transfer to a Private Academy filled with rich students. where everything is decided by gambling. The academy has its hierarchy, where winners rule over the losers, debt is going to affect their entire life. nothing is going to be fair and square. which is a perfect stage for our overpowered main character to prove their strength by exploiting strengths of opponents against them.. This reminds me of my favorite anime, No game no life and Shokugeki no Soma. but the problem is, here the setting doesn't feel realistic enough. kinda feels far fetched. of course, it's not supposed to be realistic. but we need more info and justification for why this academy encourages gambling among students. anyway, it is too early to judge this manga. The logical aspects of gambling games and puzzles are sometimes hard to follow, you might need to read two or more times to understand everything. It is not like you need to understand everything to get excited. even if you have no idea whats going on you can enjoy this manga to the fullest. pacing is perfect as it is. it'll keep you excited. Yumeko's background is complete mystery, for now. I hope the main character's background will be strong. a gambling main character shouldn't be from moderate/poor family. An overpowered background for Yumeko is much preferable in my opinion. again, it is too early to see where this is going. If you want an intense manga experience. read this. i totally recommend this manga. |
Kakegurui review
Kakegurui has been one amazing revelation.
I started reading this manga 'cause I was fascinated by the art but I didn't expect the story to be so good too. Here's why you should read this series: Story: 9 Games. There are plenty of series about games but you won't find one darker than this one. The story is set in this school where your social status, school life, and your whole life is determined by how good you are at gambling. You can play everything, from rock-paper-scissors to something more dangerous like Russian Roulette. If you manage to win you gain respect, other than enormous amounts of money. If you lose you become a "pet", an insignificant student that everyone can bully and it won't be easy to come back being a "human". The villains are the Student Council, a group of students who rule the school and has created the pet system, ruled by the pragmatic Student Council President. The story begins with the male MC losing a game and becoming a pet, until the real MC come and save him, which lead us to the characters. Characters: 9 "Madness" is the key word to describe characters of this series. Starting with Yumeko, the protagonist: she looks like a lovely school girl but she shows her true nature when gambling. She's crazy for gambling and risk, toying with their opponents in order to enjoy the thrill as much as she can. What I like about her is that she's not evil, she's just crazy for the thrill. Watching her suddenly showing this part of her personality out of the blue is amazing. As for the other students they're well developed. The only important male character, Suzui, is a simple guy who starts the series being a pet, being saved by Yumeko and then thanks to her he becomes stronger as the story progress. Mary Saotome is the bully who made Suzui a pet but later become an ally. As for the villains, the student council, basically they're all crazy. Everyone of them has their illness for gambling, some of them reaching crazy level like Midari, and on top of them the Student Council President, a mysterious and feared girl who leads the whole thing. Art: 9 Art is stunning. I love the expressions characters make while gambling, in particular Yumeko's "crazy" moments are a pleasure to watch. Character desing is good and there is some funny moment too, altough not very common. Enjoyment: 8 I'm currently at chapter 17. I look forward to see how the story progress. I'm sure it won't disappoint me. Overall: 8 I give this an 8 that could become a 9 depending on how the story ends. By now I'm really enjoying this series, I recommend you to read it. If you like psychological stories and crazy characters, everything mixed with an interesting story and universe, you won't be disappointed. |
Kakegurui review
Story: 2.5 - An interesting and striking premise undermined by incompetent storytelling and baffling decisions in narrative direction.
Art: 6 - Character designs are, while nothing spectacular, are more than adequate and the artwork is for the most part competent. The over the top facial expressions are what push it up from a 5 to a 6 for me. Character: 2 - Easily the weakest part of the work as a whole. I will expound on this later, but for now just know that everything interesting about the characters at the beginning fizzles out into nothing. Enjoyment: 4 - As much as I rag on the individual aspects of the show, it still is engaging nonetheless is still highly readable, despite the at times clunky panel composition. It is, while at times incomprehensible in its direction, never quite boring. Overall: 4 - If you think about any of the narrative concepts for more than 5 seconds you'll break the logic into over a thousand pieces but it's still pretty readable. |
Kakegurui review
Kakegurui is one of my most favourite manga ever.
It's absolutely brilliant. It's a masterpiece. 1. The art is AMAZING. The art is beautiful. It's very different and so unique. I frankly love reading the manga just for the art. 10/10 2. The story line. One word. Crazy. There's a shit tonne of gambling, half the time you don't know what's going on, and it keeps you on the edge of your seat. 9/10 3. Characters. The mfc is absolutely badass. She's a fucking genius. And for once we don't have a male dominant manga, but a female who challenges the student council. Yumeko is absolutely brilliant, and a freaking lunatic, and all the characters are very intriguing, each having their own personality and insanity. The mmc is kinda there, not exactly doing anything. It''s honestly funny how he reacts to the crazy antics of Yumeko. 9/10 4. The overall experience is awesome. I'm still reading the manga as it is still publishing, but trust me once you pick it up you won't be able to put it back down again. It's non-cliche, badass, intense brain games, and the stakes of the games are absolutely demented. 9/10 I'd give this outstanding manga a 9/10 |
Kakegurui review
A short review for the people that are too lazy to read:
Story: 10 The story starts with a mysterious girl aka MC, enrolling a private school for rich kids (no I mean really, really rich kids,seriously). What's so special about the school is that gambling is everything in this school. Your social rank, status, and everything will be lost if you are bad at gambling or if you run out of money, and vice versa, if you have loads of money on your hands and you're good at gambling, you can have it all. OP MC enrolls into the school and basically kicks ass at the people who underestimate her, which gains a lot of attention, making her a target on the student council black list. Thus begins the story of MC vs. the mighty student council. Art: 10 Brilliant. Just brilliant. The art style captures the character's nature perfectly. Character: 9 All of the characters are pretty unique and different, so I think it's quite fresh. It's definitely interesting watching the characters as their layers of personality crumble. Enjoyment: 10 Proud to say I stayed up all night reading it. Made me cling to the manga like a sloth to a tree. Overall: 10 10/10 would recommend/brainwash/hypnotize someone into reading it. Please do so for your inner otaku. |
Kakegurui review
Wow, again, we seem to have people who love a manga about crazy people in a school with a dumb premise. This must be one of the worst trends ever, the trend of having a special school which makes people insane and exploring their psychology. Oh, and by Psychology, I mean seeing them be crazy. So why is this Bad?
THE PREMISE IS THE WORST- A school built on ILLEGAL acts, aka gambling, which has people who are rich betting MILLIONS of yen to build a social class that only lasts for about, like 3 years? Except the money and SLAVERY which continues outside of school. Sure, the world wont go insane and shut down the school, and the politicians and media (SOME OF THEIR KIDS GO THEIR!!) wont jump and say anything on the school which the MC says has been rumored, aka people know it exists. this premise is broken just because no one with 3 brain cells will ever let this school exists, let alone lend millions of yen, or even entire companies to their high school kids. I thought Caste Heaven had a dumb school, but at least it makes some sense why the school is built in its way or HAS TEACHERS. TWO DIMENSIONAL CHARACTERS FTW!!!- Good god are the characters bland. They have two modes (some at least, others only get the first one): 'Insert a type of personality here' and crazy. Our MC also gets a third one-sadism. The manga cant be taken seriously because it doesn't show how the school effects the people there, because they are always in cray cray mode. Except blonde pigtails who, even with her minimal development (that is just a privilege here) she still has these two modes. At times characters may have panic attacks but that's not development, that's just nothing. ITS ABOUT...?- There is no theme to this story. Well, it may be a "commentary" of the human condition and the sin of pride and greed, but with such deep, complex and grounded characters, this message makes as much sense as chocolate in clam chowder. Caste heaven had a theme. This has nothing EDGY- good lord is this edgy. If they didn't have pools of blood I would have thought this was by the guy who wrote Mirai Nikki or any other over the top horror. Sure the art is detailed, but it only makes the characters look more crazy, instead of giving nuance to their body language, everyone is just CRAZY FACE MODE ALL THE TIME. In conclusion, it didn't offend me like Caste Heaven, but its way dumber and worse then that manga. Everything here has been done better elsewhere. After all, why read a complex story instead of pretending to read a story that is complex. Lets say its deep and imaginative compared to other manga and lets make it so good manga and anime with a complex story, characters and ideas, with real heart and passion be thrown away so we can see crazy girls gamble. Because that's the state of this art form. |
