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.
