Kakegurui XX
Let’s start with the second season of Kakegurui, Netflix’s original anime produced by Studio Mappa (Ushio and Tora) based on the Japanese manga, written by Homura Kawamoto and designed by Toru Naomura.
The Hyakkaou Private Academy is famous for hosting the children of businessmen, politicians and wealthy and influential people in Japan, counting many future leaders and professionals among the student body. In the school, the student hierarchy is determined by contributions to the student council that are fed by an intricate gambling system in which students bet their fortunes against each other. Those who are unable to contribute because of their debts become slaves for the satisfaction of those who hold their debts. Those who do not pay off their debts at the end of their time at the school receive life programs that dictate their career and with whom they must marry and have children with. Gambling is still a risk in today’s society, but thankfully players have a lot of responsible gaming support and information, such as online casino reviews on casinocountdown.com.
