What it gets right, where others fail, is Kaiji is distinctly human. You'll see him struggle to come up with new strategies to turn the tables on his situation, you'll see him break down and get angry. Most importantly, he won't always win; and the price of those losses are harsh and impactful. This isn't your run of a mill gambling manga with a perfect, cocky protagonist who outwits all their opponents with a smirk. The manga is a a story for those society has failed, and a testament to trying as hard as you can regardless of how badly you get screwed over. Take this first volume, which centres around "restricted rock, paper, scissors". What initially seems like a game of chance opens up into a deep arc of manipulating economics and preying on people's mental states. You won't get the boring, last second "Haha actually this was my plan all along" twists that pollute the genre. It's rough for Kaiji, but you see him develop his tactics, strategy, and frustration as the game unravels. I cannot stress this enough, this series is gambling manga as good as it gets. I am so grateful it's FINALLY being released in English Review: ZAWA ZAWA... - Although I brought my copy of rightstuf Because it was out state side before uk and I needed it as soon as possible. Kaiji is a fantastic series and I feel that it’s underrated as hell! Probably because of the art stile (which imo is great) but nevertheless I thought this manga would never see the light of day to get an english release until I herd news in earl 2019 that denp licensed it. So if you are interested in great gambling ,characters and intense ,anxiety thrill ridesthis is it. Now it does have a lot of text in it which depending on who you are may be difficult but this is coming from someone who hates reading lots of dialogue in his manga and comics but for whatever reason I still love reading it. Now my main concern is that it wont sell because of (art and being underrated) but if someone reads this review and loves all thing Fukumoto and gambling please spread the love of Kaiji I would love to be at all the parts of this series in print as possible. And more of Fukumoto’s works would be great to thank you Denpa! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 524,411 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 684 in Gambling (Books) 5,216 in Crime & Mystery Graphic Novels 12,230 in Manga (Books) | | Book 1 of 5 | KAIJI | | Customer reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (178) | | Dimensions | 14.61 x 3.81 x 20.96 cm | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 1634429249 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1634429245 | | Item weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 544 pages | | Publication date | 23 Jan. 2020 | | Publisher | DENPA BOOKS | | Reading age | 16 years and up | ## Images ![Gambling Apocalypse: KAIJI, Volume 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71WaBhq7UoL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gambling manga doesn't get better than this *by P***E on 24 March 2021* This is the the pinnacle of the niche genre.

The story is very much like Squid Games on Netflix. ## Frequently Bought Together - Gambling Apocalypse: KAIJI, Volume 1 - Gambling Apocalypse: KAIJI, Volume 2 - Gambling Apocalypse: KAIJI, Volume 3 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/83413560-gambling-apocalypse-kaiji-volume-1](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/83413560-gambling-apocalypse-kaiji-volume-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
