About the Series
Kazuhiko Mitarai is an ordinary banker working at Karasuma Banking Corporation who feels disillusioned with his mundane administrative duties. His life shifts dramatically when he discovers the bank's secret underground gambling operation.
In this subterranean arena, wealthy elite gamblers bet enormous wealth and even their own bodily organs or lifespans. Bank employees serve as junket hosts, managing risk and enforcing fatal contracts upon those who lose.
Mitarai becomes assigned to team up with Shin Harama, an eccentric gambler possessing terrifying intellect and unshakeable composure. Together, they navigate a succession of deadly original games designed to break mind and body.
