Someone actually spoiled this part in the comments section when I was watching the anime. I'm reading it knowing what will happen... like why💔😖?!
Anyways.. Kaiji's problem is that he never stops trusting people, no matter how many times he gets betrayed. Man Kaiji, you need to stop gambling or stop trusting people!!!
Can't wait to start the next volume!

[3rd Kaiji arc, volumes 1-13] 80% of the gameplay in this match went over my head because I don’t know how to play mahjong, but it’s always worth it for when a Kaiji character starts to go into their wiggly ugly crying meltdown. Also, one of the two Kaiji yaois is finally introduced in this arc (the Austin Powers one)

side note: stop being addicted to gambling, kaiji!!!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ما عجبني

[Young Gamer]

This part of kaiji is a tad slower than the other parts. Besides that the death game here uses mahjong. Here it is quite easy to understand how the game works but I feel like it still can be a bit confusing on a first read through. (I sure was confused a few times.) However the twists are still as brilliant and I really love the villain of this part. He may be no ichijou or Tonegawa but he is definitely great as a standalone character.
However it is comparatively weaker to the future parts and most of part 1 and 2. Hence I will have to give it a 3.5/5.

この本のテーマ、特に人が自分のペースで立ち上がる瞬間を描いている部分にすごく共感しました。自分も似たようなタイミングで、実際にあるプラットフォームを試して、思いがけず「自分で動いてみる」きっかけになったことがあります。例えば、こちらのリソース（https://1xcinta.com/en/casino）を使ってみたん...。
