Gambling Apocalypse: KAIJI, Volume 3
Having escaped the Espoir, Kaiji returned home with debts over than
six-million yen still hanging over his head. The life-threatening
experience has motivated him to change his ways. But real opportunities
for advancement in the mid-nineties are hard to come by. Japan's
financial bubble has burst as the country's economy has recently
collapsed.
Kaiji, now working part-time at a convenience store,
resents society for his lack of prospects. So when approached with an
