Hyakkaou Private Academy. An institution for the privileged with a very peculiar curriculum. You see, when you're the sons and daughters of the wealthiest of the wealthy, it's not athletic prowess or book smarts that keep you ahead. It's reading your opponent, the art of the deal. What better way to hone those skills than with a rigorous curriculum of gambling? At Hyakkaou Private Academy, the winners live like kings, and the losers are put through the wringer. But when Yumeko Jabami enrolls, she's gonna teach these kids what a high roller really looks like!

Gambling and manga are a combination I never thought would work. But from the moment that I read the first chapter of "Kakegurui", I was hooked. Why? For several reasons, including great art and a good story. But I'll point out my key three. One, the concept of a school system where your worth is determined by how good you gamble is intriguing, and one that has not been used in manga before, or if it has, it has not been done as well or been released for an English audience. Two, the characters are intriguing, human, and well fleshed out. Obviously my favorite is Yumeko, as the sometimes heroine sometimes crazy gambler that is bringing upset to the school system by challenging both the Student Council members and fellow students. The stakes are high, and as someone who has read the following volumes, the stakes get even higher. But for Yumeko, this is almost her lifeblood. Her reaction to the higher gamble is funny, yet disturbing to watch. Lastly, the heroine doesn't always win! This is something you are seeing more of in manga these days, like the deaths of the magical girls in "Magical Girl Raising Project" or "Magical Girl Apocalypse." But the great thing is that Yumeko reacts to her losses almost the exactly same way she reacts to her wins. You want to know more about her, and I hope eventually down the line we will get her backstory as to the way she is. In the end, one of the best manga of 2017.

It's the same as the anime but I honestly like the manga more.

As a student in visual arts, the artist's work in this manga is IMMACULATE. Before reading the Kakegurui manga, I watched the anime. I admire the way they go into detail when it comes to the rules of the gambling choice, I, myself am a visual learner so it was a lot easier to understand when comparing to the amine series. (if you are looking for the series, it is on Netflix). when reading it, I couldn't put it down. when I first started this series, it though it was going to be boring because the whole plot was surrounded by students gambling, but it taught me a lot about strategy. LOVE THIS ONE!
(I've also finished the 2nd one and am expecting the 3rd and 4th to arrive :))
Hope this was helpful!

As the headline says, the artwork on this manga is downright exquisite. The facial expressions of each character are drawn to perfection to convey their anger, glee, and sensual pleasure from gambling. Which sounds weird but is pretty fitting for the manga. The erotic nature of some of the artwork fits into the theme of the intense satisfaction certain characters get from gambling.
The characters are mostly pretty interesting. The male protagonist is fairly cut and paste but the rest of the cast makes up for his lack of uniqueness. I'm intrigued by the story so far and I'm very interested to see where it goes. If the quality keeps up like this I will definitely be buying the whole series.

The setting, gambles, and side characters are great and unique, but the main character Yumeko is annoying and will put her friends and herself at risk to feed her gambling addiction. While it is an interesting character design, it gets annoying very quickly.

The artwork is great and the storyline is interesting too. I especially love the characters. Each of them has a distinct personality and it's pretty refreshing to see the male protag not being at the center of attention for once amidst a cast full of female characters. He's honestly just a supporting character at best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kakegurui - Compulsive Gambler vol.1
Reviewed in India on September 2, 2023
Kakegurui - Compulsive Gambler has been one amazing revelation. I started reading this manga because I was fascinated by the art but I didn't expect the story to be this good.

Story- 8/10
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.

Art - 9/10
Art is stunning. I love the expressions characters make while gambling, in particular Yumeko's "crazy" moments are a pleasure to watch.

Characters - 8/10
"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.

Enjoyment - 9/10
Watching jerks getting owned by our main characters, it’s just too much of a pleasure for me.

Overall - 9/10
If you like psychological stories and crazy characters, everything mixed with an interesting story and universe, you won't be disappointed. I highly recommend this to everyone, especially to those who enjoy psychological genre. You will definitely love this from first chapter.

The vol.1 arrived in an excellent condition. No complaints
