The review contains slight spoilers of the first few chapters.

The story is really nice. It reminds me a lot of the hunter exam in Hunter x Hunter. Everyone competing is supposedly murdered by some girl with a cannon and brought to live in another dimension(?) where they are all granted a random supernatural power that they are supposed to use to pass multiple trials. Each character has their own goal, the MC wants to destroy the system, others want to just leave, and some even decide to just live inside of the trials and build a settlement.
The art is the best part of the whole ... manga. Each panel has so much attention to detail and every character is distinguishable and personified by the appearance. The characters look really nice and the background is always amazing.
The main character's ability is incredibly unique to the other abilities, and his ability is just whatever "the other person believes [his] ability to be". This makes most of his fights psychological mind games, which is good for him, because he's basically a boy genius. The other characters are pretty straight forward. There is his self proclaimed rival who is an airhead, the girl deuteragonist who gets kind of angry sometimes, a big muscley guy who is very levelheaded, a typical psychopathic girl who takes interest in the main character (actually there are a couple of them), and other fun supporting characters.

(Note: People are seeing this review because the anime adaptation is now airing. This was my first review i ever wrote for anything. It's not the greatest)

Verdict: Mid - High 8

...
I´ll make this simple:


1.-The anime is not a great reference.

2.- The begging is not the greatest but the third program is the real inflextion point in the story.

3.-Predictable? Not at all. The MC´s ability makes everything as complex as itself.

4.- The great amount of the abilities (not the usual superpowers) and their restrictions are the directive of everything.

5.- The character development shows at the perfect time justifying their thoughts pretty well.

Give it a try, not the usual thing after chapter 63.

Perfect to read it in a lunch time, because almost every chapter will keep your mind and interest waiting for more.

Hey i was so invested by first episode of anime with superpower of MC
"Sophist" the opponent should believe in your power to be working.

But then it turns out that is scaring the girl let this happen and then more more dissapointment comes. Silly playground. Turning of the stress( Hey you have quest for 30 minutes : get thousand points but there stupid amount of time instead)

Hey let's add more usless features.



What was the sophist power in MY opinion and what we would like to inspect.
Talkiing battles. We have kind of these in Naruto (Orochimaru/Pain/Naruto had power to confess opponents join their side) Jojo (Battle ... Tendency : hey im more smart than you, see my move
oh no you outsmart me but I already predicted it and now i have this card in my hand)
And so on.


I hope you started getting my point. I'm not big fan of Kakegurui but it has these Mindgames.
My dissapointment after watching almost perfect first episode (yes it was silly at some point but there was mindgame part) reading this and getting facepalm after facepalm.

Please forgive me fans, or people who really liked this story.manga.show. Sorry Author.
Maybe it wasn't supposed for me at all sides.

Maybe i shouldn't even try watching first episode of random show with names i like and picture i like. And then trying to read manga.

i get off the train. I didn't finished the manga.
My disappointment is immeasurable, but your day shall be bright
