It is a story about a high school girl, Shinonome Karin, who is unlucky and transfers to a high school in a sacred place for gambling called “Tobaku Island”, where she and a male teacher, Kumode Nagisa, who hates gambling, engage in a gambling battle.

Since it is a shonen magazine work, it has the momentum and vibe of a shonen manga.

Gamble!

出典 : Amazon.co.jp

The manga was serialized in Weekly Shonen Sunday from 2007-2009.
I have the impression that the majority of shonen manga dealing with gambling are in magazines, but there is a surprising number in Sunday as well.

This story is set in the near future in Japan, which has become the world’s largest gambling nation, and is about a 12-year-old boy who has to fight with a professional gambler.
The sequel “GAMBLER!” has been published in the Modern Mahjong original.

It is a work that can be enjoyed as a romantic comedy, and although it has not been made into an anime, it is one of the works that supported Sunday in the 1990s.

Katsutoshi Kawai Sensei’s “Obi wo Kyutto ne! This is a boat racing manga that began to be serialized in Sunday as a follow-up to
The work was written based on detailed interviews with actual boat racing players, and it depicts the other side of the race and the players’ daily lives in great detail and fun.
It is a popular work that has sold 10 million copies in total and has been made into an anime, but in a way, the development of Hatano Kenji’s two-timing while being the main character of a boys’ magazine was more of a gamble than any other manga.

summary

A characteristic of gambling manga is that even if the game is based on the same gambling subject, it’s a completely different genre depending on how it’s presented.
Surprisingly, there are also many manga that are published in shonen magazines.

On the other hand, because it is a subject matter that selects readers, because it is difficult to balance the interestingness of the gambling setting with the fun of the manga, and because the creator’s intelligence is essential… For these reasons, few works last for long, and it is also known as a genre that is often discontinued.
In such a situation, a work that is serialized for a long period of time may be considered to be an exceptional manga.
