Even his hair turns white.Īgain, Yumeko sets her sights on the council president.Kakegurui – Compulsive Gambler is a Japanese manga series written by Homura Kawamoto and illustrated by Tōru Naomura. But does he - and his omnipresent middle finger - win the hand? No, he loses everything - money, influence, his position in the council and his chance to ever become council president. Kaede bets his life - cause they're a dime, a dozen - and wins the choice. She is in reality the council president Momobami. Kaede contests the decision which prompts their dealer to remover her mask. The dealer - the nameless mask girl and ciuncil VP - accepts the raise as being worth 10 billion. Then Yumeko bets Sumeragi's life, which would effectively turn her into a slave if she loses. The pot rises to 3 billion yen with the last bet made by Kaede. During the next round, not even those are sufficient. He overthinks everything, but it seems to pay off in the end.

As expected, Yumeko screws with his brain even without trying. Kaede has the obvious advantage because he has more money, so he is more likely to make the choice on each hand. Yumeko and Kaede play a variation of poker called Choice Poker where the betting is limitless, there is no call or fold, and the player with the highest bet can choose whether the stronger or weaker hand wins. You would think he can afford glue or tape. He doesn't have a nose, does he? That must be it - he is holding his glasses so they don't fall off his face. Dear God, is this guy's middle finger melted into his glasses? He's flipping the bird more often than there are occurances of the letter 'e' in his dialogue.
