aw man, I wish the story wasn't so dull and repetitive, because the art is really something special. i'll maybe continue later in hopes of actual plot, but I was just scrolling through to look at the pictures on that last chapter once i got sick of "LOOK AT HOW CLEVER I AM [posits ridiculous theory that is, of course, correct, but so inorganically presented, impossible, and stupid]"

but these great faces though. and lots n lots of female characters!

Ooh, a guilty pleasure! In this over-the-top series, our point-of-view character is Ryota Suzui, a loser who has found himself on the bottom of the caste system at his private high school where all the students are socially ranked by how well they do at the mandatory extra-curricular gambling. Like Food Wars there are a lot of challenges and contests between the students, but the fan service is much creepier here, with lots of upskirt- and panty-shots.

Most of those shots are provided by the Mary Sue transfer student, Yumeko Jabami. A compulsive gambler who takes sexual pleasure from risk and rewards, she disrupts the status quo by placing big bets and turning the tables on the rigged games of the student body's big shots.

This could be fun to follow for a while, but alas, my library has only the first volume, and I'm not sure if it is worth buying. Hmm... ( )
