Synopsis: Itou Kaiji, a bum, gets in trouble after the friend whom he cosigned a credit for disappeared. Is there hope for him aboard the ship Espoir? I never expected I would be blogging about Kaiji. First, I don't like the graphics and second, I am not into gambling. usagijen suggested that I give the series I try. Well, I did and though it isn't something that I would rave about, the plot is pretty decent. Kaiji is one fresh alternative if you're sick and tired of the schoolgirls of this season. I also found out the manga won in the 1998 Kodansha Manga Award under the General category. Basilisk won the same award in 2004, Mushishi in 2006 and Ookiku Furikabutte this year.
