Kakegurui – Compulsive Gambler (Japanese: 賭ケグルイ

Hepburn: Kakegurui) is a Japanese manga series written by Homura


Kawamoto and illustrated by Tōru Naomura.
Unlike many schools, attending Hyakkaou Private Academy prepares
students for their time in the real world. Since many of the students
are the children of the richest people in the world, the academy has
its quirks that separate it from all the others. By day, it is a normal
school, educating its pupils in history, languages, and the like. But at
night, it turns into a gambling den, educating them in the art of
dealing with money and manipulating people. Money is power;
those who come out on top in the games stand at the top of the
school.

The story is set in Hyakkaou Private Academy, a high-class elite


school housing the children of Japan’s most wealthy and influential
people and with many future leaders and professionals among the
student body. However, the student hierarchy in this school is not
determined by academic performance or athletic ability, but
rather by gambling. Students are ranked by their monetary
contributions to the student council, which fuels an intricate
gambling system where students freely bet their fortunes against
one another after class.

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!

Kakegurui Anime Synopsis:

As Yumeko Jabami’s fame grows and the reputation of the student


council dwindles, Kirari
Momobami decides to revolutionize the group. To this end, she
announces an election for its next president. The rules are simple:
each student in the school receives one chip. Whoever has the most
chips by the end of thirty days becomes both the new president and
the head of the Momobami clan.

Upon receiving news of this development, the Momobami branch


families spring into action. Eleven transfer students arrive at
Hyakkao Private Academy, each aiming to lead both the school and
the Momobami clan. Equipped with unique talents, they will
compete to get as many chips as possible—but their chips are not
the only things on the line.
