KAKEGURUI TWIN

Logline


Adapted into a TV anime series in 2017 with Kakegurui, and again in 2019 with Kakegurui xx, this popular series has garnered many passionate fans both domestically in Japan and overseas.


One year before the black-haired beauty Yumeko Jabami transferred to her school, Mary Saotome, a girl from an average family, enrolls as an honor student in Hyakkao Private Academy, where many young women from elite political and financial circles attend. But the school has a strict hierarchical system that is determined by gambling. Academic achievements or athletic prowess mean nothing here — gambling skills are what matter most. Students who fall into debt due to gambling must live their school lives as “house pets.” Can Mary Saotome carve out a future for herself at this academy ruled by gambling?



Based on the manga Kakegurui Twin by Homura Kawamoto and Kei Saiki
