Description
After surviving Tonegawa's dastardly schemes set outside of the hotel tower, Kaiji was let inside the building for what may be one last chance to pay off his debts. But while his last two tests were partially physical and emotional, this new game is a test of wills. E-Card is a simple card game but when played against someone who says he can read minds, it may be an impossible game to win at consistently! Kaiji has gone too far now, so he'll literally put his body on the line as payback!

About the Author

Nobuyuki Fukomoto made his manga debut in 1980 and
has penned more than one-hundred and fifty volumes over his illustrious
career. In 1998 he was presented the Kodansha Manga Award's Comic of the
Year for his work on Gambling Apocalypse: Kaiji.


Known
to incorporate both elements of gambling and finance in his works,
Fukumoto's most memorable titles tend to focus on the consequences of
Japan's economic culture. Kaiji was recognized by the
publishing world for how it rendered a changing social landscape after
Japan's economic bubble had burst. Outside of Kaiji, Fukumoto is best known for his other international best-sellers, which include: Akagi (Take Shobo), Gin and Kin (Futabasha) and Kurosawa: The Strongest Man (Shogakukan).

Critical Reviews

"If the contestants in The Hunger Games had been forced to kill
each other by playing rock-paper-scissors instead of with bows and
arrows, they might have earned a place at the gaming tables of (Kaiji)." --The Hollywood Reporter
