description Kakegurui Overview

Unlike many schools, attending Hyakkaou Private Academy prepares students for their time in the real world. Since many of the students are the children of the richest people in the world, the academy has its quirks that separate it from all the others. By day, it is a normal school, educating its pupils in history, languages, and the like. But at night, it turns into a gambling den, educating them in the art of dealing with money and manipulating people.

Money is power; those who come out on top in the games stand at the top of the school. Yumeko Jabami, a seemingly naive and beautiful transfer student, is ready to try her hand at Hyakkaou's special curriculum.

help Kakegurui FAQ

Who is the main character of Kakegurui?

Yumeko Jabami is the lead, a transfer student at Hyakkaou Private Academy who turns out to be a compulsive high-stakes gambler. Her fearlessness at the gambling table disrupts the school hierarchy, where wealthy students rank each other through games and the student council president Kirari Momobami rules from the top.

How many seasons of the Kakegurui anime are there?

There are two TV seasons: the original Kakegurui from 2017 and Kakegurui ×× from 2019, both animated by MAPPA. There is also the prequel spin-off Kakegurui Twin, which Netflix released in 2022 and focuses on Mary Saotome.

Is Kakegurui based on a manga?

Yes, it adapts the manga written by Homura Kawamoto and illustrated by Toru Naomura, which has been serialized in Square Enix's Gangan Joker magazine since 2014. The anime covers only part of the manga, so several arcs continue beyond the TV series.

Does Yumeko ever settle things with student council president Kirari Momobami?

The confrontation builds through Kakegurui ××, which centers on a student council election triggered by the arrival of Kirari's relatives, the Momobami clan. The anime ends before fully resolving the manga's storyline, so the final reckoning remains in the ongoing manga rather than on screen.
