As the stakes grow higher and the rules become increasingly more bizarre, Kaiji must finally take the future into his own hands!

The inspiration for the infamous anime by the same name and the Netflix live-action film Animal World takes readers into the dark side of Japan’s post-bubble economic society by thrusting them into a world of debt, debauchery, and delusion.”
