Originally created by Homura Kawamoto with illustrations by Toru Naomura for Square Enix’s Gangan Joker magazine in 2014, Kakegurui – Compulsive Gambler has since spawned an anime series (with a second season on the way), a live-action series (which also has a second season on the way), and a live-action film coming next year.

If you want to see what this cult favorite is all about, Kakegurui – Compulsive Gambler‘s first season is now available to stream on Netflix in the United States and is 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!”
