Sebenernya saya anti banget sama mangaka ini.... anti karena karyanya yang pernah kubaca dulu, How to Make a Prince sangat amat mengesalkan di berbagai sisi. Saya sebutin salah satunya yang amat sangat menyebalkan, serpis kipas yang seharusnya untuk komik shonen, malah dimasukan ke komik shojo! Saya ga masalah sama serpis kipas, asalkan letaknya memang 'benar'. Saya ingat di komik tersebut cukup banyak adegan-adegan telanjang atau yang cukup 'menjurus' yang bikin saya bertanya-tanya "Buat apa sih yang seperti itu dimasukin ke komik shojo yang ditujukan untuk pembacanya dibawah 15 tahun (karena dimuat di Nakayoshi)?"
Rasanya pengen begini
Oke, balik ke topik. Saya mencoba untuk membaca judul ini karena:
1. Teringat karyanya yang berjudul Pink Innocent, yang dulu kubaca dan menurutku cukup lucu dan menghibur. Harusnya judul ini juga sama kan?
2. Temanku bilang bagus.
Tapi setelah dibaca sampai akhir buku 1,,, Cukup! Cukup! Dari awal saya baca, pengaturan panelnya kurang pas, banyak adegan yang bikin dahi saya berkerut karena bingung ada kejadian atau ada tokoh yang tiba-tiba muncul. Terus banyak banget hal yang menurut saya terlalu... maksa dan ga masuk akal. Atau ini hanya saya saja yang merasa seperti itu?
Apakah saya bakal lanjut baca ke buku 2? Jawabannya tidak. Tapi kalo ada yang mau minjemin, saya akan dengan senang hati menerimanyalha, yang buku 1 saja saya minjem.

3.5 rounded up! With the premise being shojo Kakegurui I was immediately in. It's more juvenile with its setup though. It also seems to focus more on the pettiness of rich kids and really plays into that especially with the first round of the money game being glorified gossip about whether two people ended up dating. I don't mind it though I fear it might end up a bit too juvenile and unserious for my liking. But I'm cautiously optimistic!

I love this, seriously love it. I don't care if it has similarities to Liar Game, I love this one.
So I've finally finished this series, and I have to say, it's completely different to what it has been compared to. I'm a bit sad that it didn't go further than 11 chapters, but nonetheless, it was fun!
The Plot
Sachi has always been known for her gorgeous amber-colored hair that she inherited from her mother. She has a happy enough life, except for the fact that her mother is dead, which she keeps a secret. But when her family goes bankrupt and forced into playing "The Money Game" to pay off her debts everything becomes much more complicated.
The Characters
Sachi is your average won't be trodden down female protagonist. She kind of reminds me of Tohru from Fruits Basket, Volume 01.
Leon is the male protagonist.
Aki, the main contender of the million girl game. She's interesting too!
The Setting
Japan.
Writing/Artwork
I feel that the plotline was pretty ordinary. I was looking forward to more tricks and dramas and whatnot, since it ended to fast, but still, I liked it. The writing was good. The story was interesting. The Artwork, is the kind of artwork that I really like. I really enjoyed it!
Overall
For a quick read, this is fun. It also has a very interesting twist at the end!

Kinda adorable. Still going on, so will have to read on to see if its decent.
Basically, this is about a buncha rich high schoolers who go to a prestigious high school and decide that school is too dumb for them to waste time on, and instead make up this super-high stakes gambling game known collectively as the "Money Game". And poor Sachi, the main character, has somehow gotten into deep debt and owes one MILLION yen (or something like that; I'll confirm later) to some hotshot. So she, having no money, cuts off her beautiful amber colored hair to receive the entry level money to participate in the Money Game, introduced by a male mystery hotshot whom I suspect heavily of becoming the love interest.
Its simple, its cute, and its kinda boring. Like, le gasp! That dude just put down 5000 yen! He's so arrogant! Can this girl who's really poor afford to put down more? :/ Very dramatic, and stuffed with sensational gambling skillz. Gets very repetitive after awhile.
