About this title

Synopsis

Taking risks is a part of human nature, and to gamble means to risk losing something important in the pursuit of obtaining something greater. However, the world of gambling is neither welcoming nor forgiving, and some will lie and cheat to win. Therefore, a powerful organization, "Kakerou," exists to ensure that all bets maintain a semblance of fairness. Baku Madarame, often referred to as "Usogui," is a genius gambler willing to bet more than just money. Putting his life on the line, he faces off against psychotic opponents in deadly psychological games. With his cold and calculating nature and high level of intellect, Baku challenges the liars known as gamblers while aiming to seize control over Kakerou itself. [Written by MAL Rewrite] Included one-shots: Volumes 12–15: Igyou Tobakusha Usokui Volume 25: Yakou-san

Baku is known as a genius gambler, he is a legend among the underworld. During gambles, there are many instances where he intimidates and tosses around his opponents as if he is eating them. And even outside of gambling, he is prone to danger and likes to take risks in everything. His true feelings toward people are unknown and a mystery. However, he seems to treat people based on what he sees through his judgements. He shows his disgust toward people like Kaji's mother who selfishly trample on others, but on the other hand he shows kindness to people like Marco who have been living in solitude. Baku considers his friends and allies very important.
