Kakegurui – Compulsive Gambler Season 2 is now officially available for streaming to Netflix. The second season runs for 12 episodes, and is available in Japanese with English subtitles and English dub.
If you want to see what this cult favorite is all about, Kakegurui – Compulsive Gambler‘s two seasons are now available to stream on Netflix in the United States and are described as such:
“Hyakkaou Private Academy. An institution for the privileged with a very peculiar curriculum. You see, when you’re the sons and daughters of the wealthiest of the wealthy, it’s not athletic prowess or book smarts that keep you ahead. It’s reading your opponent, the art of the deal. What better way to hone those skills than with a rigorous curriculum of gambling? At Hyakkaou Private Academy, the winners live like kings, and the losers are put through the wringer. But when Yumeko Jabami enrolls, she’s gonna teach these kids what a high roller really looks like!”
Kakegurui‘s second season, officially dubbed Kakegurui xx, adapts the Tower of Doors arc from Homura Kawamoro and Toru Naomura’s original manga and boasts a large cast of returning and new characters.
