One of my favourite kakegurui characters is Midari. I adore how insane, sick, and deranged she is. I adore her even more because of her aura, her piercings, and the fact that you can never imagine what she is thinking.

Yeah it was just weird. Liked her more as a support cast member but not as a main character 🤷🏼♀️

I had high hopes for this series and if it gets translated I'll read it again to see if my impression of it not being very good holds up. Part of the big problem is that I was reading an online scanlation of this comic, and the book is only as good as the translator.
Apart from the art.
This spinoff of Kawamoto's wildly popular, very fun Kakegurui series isn't drawn by the same artist who does the original series, so there's a lot of compression of what people look like, for starters. There were times I wasn't sure who was who, which could also be laid at the hands of the writing/translating, but visually there were times I thought one character was someone else.
This series is a prequel to the original and tells the story of the craziest of students in Hyakkaou Private Academy where Kakegurui takes place, Midari Ikishima. Masochistic, suicidal, impulsive, weird, and a total horndog to boot, it's easy to see why she's a fan favorite. However, the writing here is so thin that we never really delve deeper into the character, partly because of the book being told from another's perspective.
I had high hopes for the series, but unfortunately it was very disappointing all the way through.

Il mio primo manga🥺 Su un personaggio che nell'anime ho adorato tantissimo~~ Grazie ai miei amichetti nerd che finalmente mi hanno dato il coraggio di entrare in questo mondo💘 Mi incuriosiva da una vita, ma mi sentivo sempre di non appartenerci, di essere fuori luogo. Adesso posso dire che non sono mai stata così felice di entrare in un mondo totalmente nuovo; non vedo l'ora di scoprirlo, sarà una grande avventura✨
