Description

From Yen Press: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's 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! 655246

Slightly above decent.

Other than the art and fanservice stuff it's very average, MC male is pointless to the point he isn't the story at times. It's no Kaiji, Akagi etc, think of this being more of a streamline dumb down version of it. It's a decent read, but not right up there with the best of Gambling manga.

Hidden Gem

I found this manga around when it first got released some years ago, and I absolutely loved the fast progression of the story, the art and the characters. We do have a "Mysteriously OP Protagonist" syndrome, but atleast we get explanations of what they do and how. While there are a few romantic undertones and a bit of fanservice, they are not the main point of the story at all. I came back to this yesterday, now that it has a whopping amount of 41 chapters from 9, and I can't get enough of it. I'm especially excited with the progression of the latest chapters and I absolutely can't wait to know what happens next. I totally recommend this.

First off let me say this, if you thought this is a manga about 'gambling and boobs' then you're either idiots/judging only by the cover/too-cheap-to-bought-manga-and-read-online (1 chapter fag), well just pick one.
As for the point above, i've bought and read up to vol 3 from Yen Press and EVEN UP TO THIS POINT THERE'S NO EVEN EFFING SINGLE CLEAVAGE SHOWN IN HERE, so please for the love of xxx tell me how could you refer this as 'gambling and boobs'!? I'm not a review type person and often lurk here just for summary and reference but i can't overlook this single idiotic comment.

First off, i'm a fan of psychological battle (i.e. Death Note or like Kaiji in this matter) and i've found Kakegurui really offer fresh theme to that, i mean a High School that use gambling (real money) and the losers getting abused like pet animal, how sick is that. As opposed to the 'gambling and boobs' comment, if you looking for a the good the bad and the ugly side of human being, then you're come to the right place, i really LOVE how the artist portrayed the characters face/expression in here. The art is great and lovely, but at the same time could get ugly real face as they shown their true color. The psychological battle or the gambling part is awesome and fun too, i could say its up par to Kaiji in of getting you on the edge of your seat.
Don't get the protagonist wrong tho, the main is not the male but rather the female. Even though he's shown at the begging, the male is more like commentator from the normal view or 'common people view', well mainly because the other students (the good one in gambling) is mostly insane (in a fun way... for me)

well like i said, if you want a good psychological, gambling, and awesome art/expression, you'll love Kakegurui!

Gambling and Boobs

Rating: 3.0 / 10.0

If you're interested in one or both of the above listed items, you may enjoy this manga.

I stumbled upon this series by accident, looked at the cover, read the description, and astutely thought to myself, "I bet this series is about boobs and gambling!" And then I read it, and, lo and behold, so it was!

Honestly, to give it some credit, this one isn't even trying to fake you out with the illusion of actual story or character. It's one of those boobs + gimmick = profit series, it's extremely obvious about that from the get-go, and it doesn't make any pretenses of being anything else. So good on you, manga!

Of course, since I'm not interested in either of its primary exports, this manga did absolutely nothing for me. I do wonder why it even bothered to have a male main character, though, when clearly, the spotlight wants to be, ahem, elsewhere.

Well.. Lemme just say this,
The art is freaking good.. on some places in this manga..
the art from her other manga's can't be compared, big leap.
As for story, can't say anything about that for now.
