Usogui (2022)

The Kaiji franchise is all about betting and risking your life. Finding the lie in betting and winning

The Liars game franchise is all about finding the trick and the lie to win the game. The main in Usogui is know as the "Lie Eater"

They play Games and gamble to their life to win. This one they gamble their freedom rather than life or death.

This is based on Majong and betting ones very own life. Akagi seeks the thrill of the game and is a genius.

I love love love love love Alice! Been my favorite since the anime came out and then I read the manga, and then when the show was here I was literally BLOWN AWAY. it's deep, well written, no shallow characters, nothing but just an honest, but messed up sincere story. As far as adaptations go this one is literally one of my favorites and I didn't personally like L s character in Death Notes adaptation (I did like Light though, he was different from the anime Light but I like both for different reasons.) Having Kento play Arisu dude just YES. But of course I also have a real soft spot for Machida! And I know everyone is recommending the usual suspects but Usogui is really another adaptation I really enjoyed watching. Another card game arena and Yokohama Ryusei is the perfect pick for the main lead.
