I'm glad to see Manyuda San back and relieved not to see Suzui San in this volume because the man is an eyesore. When can we witness Kirari San's match? We see her winning though in this volume. By now, anyone can tell that I'm fixated on Kakegurui and Kirari San.

Who knew paying taxes could be so thrilling?!

Well, this is the first truly dull volume of the series as the focus is mostly on boring side characters as they play an overly-complicated, visually static game about -- yaaawwwwnnn -- taxation.

Oh, no, someone isn't paying their taxes. How opposite of exciting.

[Katie]

Character development 😍

The stakes weren’t as high in this volume/game, but it was still a compelling read. My only issue is I found there were a number of leaps of logic (more so than usual, anyway) which made the conclusion feel very far-fetched. The bet-within-a-bet thing was weird too.

Despite my quibbles, I can’t seem to tear myself away from this series. I’m liking the larger story-arc and that the plot has more direction, as well as there being more focus on the secondary characters.

guys, nie wiem co jest ze mną nie tak, ale uwielbiam manyude, totalnie. jeszcze jak czytałam jego interakcje z itsuki, to aż się uśmiechałam sama do siebie cały czas (coś definitywnie jest ze mną nie tak)

[donutdot]

never thought i'd see the day government taxes becomes a gamble

6/10 ⭐
Encuentro que está bueno, pero siento que igual, me falta contexto de esta familia que quiere controlar la escuela

[Mich]

The game was meh, the interaction between so many characters was nice. Great character development

[Paula]

Eh, they had to make one of the girls here straight...

[Jessica]

All of the stuff with the family isn't interesting to me. I wish it wasn't such a driving force in the series.

Ad ogni nuovo volume nuove appassionanti sfide! Yumeko affronta nuovi membri del Clan dei Cento Bami, Ibara e Miroslava, ma insieme a lei a mettere in palio i suoi numerosi voti ci sono Sumeragi e, a sorpresa, anche Manyuda, il senpai sconfitto dalla stessa Yumeko e senza più speranze e forza di vivere. La sfida è il Gioco dei Beni Pubblici, interessante e attuale, ma quando sembra esserci un traditore che vuole vincere a scapito degli altri ecco che Yumeko convince il senpai Manyuda a sfruttare la sua intelligenza per trovarlo e vincere il gioco e i voti... Ma la misteriosa e pericolosa Totobami trama nell'ombra e a rimetterci sono anche gli stessi membri del Clan Bami... Che bella sfida e mi ha fatto piacere rivedere Manyuda e rivederlo in forma! Insomma una sfida avvincente e mi è piaciuta la riflessione sociale che c'è dietro al gioco. Che volume! C'è anche la questione di Mary e la vicepresidentessa che viene lentamente portata avanti ma sembra molto interessante e mostra come la sfida per le elezioni è ancora aperta...

Although the Greater Good game takes a while to get going, I do understand why Kawamoto included it as one of the gambles. It shows how human nature can be fickle when it comes to trusting each other in collaborative scenarios. There were some well-executed twists that were adapted well into the anime. I was impressed there weren't as many differences as I was expecting. Maybe those happen later on?

Compared to the past few volumes, not knowing as much about the Momobami family members who join this gamble does lower the stakes. While both Ibara and Miraslava have distinctive personalities, their backgrounds remain mostly a mystery. I also feel like Manyuda's characterization and him "coming back to his old self" doesn't feel as earned despite his calculations having a role in identifying the traitor. On the plus side, we do get to see how much unconscious faith he and Itsuki have in each other. This is an avenue the manga might take more of a glance at since at this point, this is where the second season went back and then onto new content.

[Zian B.]

More of a 3.5 star rating;
This is one of the more slower paced volumes since the gamble wasn’t of physical harm or penalty; it was about tax with silver coins. It was really interesting to see some more members of the Momobami family and to see everyone interact. I think Sumeragi-san’s reasoning for believing in Manyuda-senpai is adorable. I hope he gets it through his thick skull that she likes him.

Me encanta este juego de las monedas porque siempre recuerdo cuando Zedd lo adaptó para que lo jugáramos entre nosotros cada que nos aburríamos. Recordé momentos lindos con amigos <3 También me gusta porque Yumeko y Manyuda se unen y eso es hot digo qué!

[Bailey Wakeling]

the presidents seat is still up for grabs but terano now also wants to play. once again yumeko is plunged into a game of death with the stakes getting higher and higher. once more this proves to be a great series with volume 9 and with more lovely illustration once more

[Brittany McMillan]

3.75/5

[tammy]

3.5*

the game was meh. mary and ririka served tho.

[Michelle]

Fascinating social experiment, but a bit complicated to follow.

[Sua ☭]

QUE VIVA EL AMOOOOR

[Sarah]

So sad Sumeragi dropped out of the election :(

[Brenton J]

Paying taxes… the coolest gamble ever!!

[Kristen]

🐖🐖🐖🐖

[Kingy_T]

I really liked the greater good game probably the most interesting so far! I really wanna see what Terano is planning!

[Leziga]

This was one of my favorite episodes on Netflix and this version was even better!

[⋆｡˚꒰ঌ worm ໒꒱˚｡⋆]

While this volume wasn't much more interesting than the previous- I did find the dynamics between the characters more compelling and I just enjoyed the game they picked this round.

[Less]

The teasing of Yumeko's backstory is great! I enjoyed Manyuda, but the truth is Sumeragi is not really interesting to me. I liked her presence against Manyuda, and the game sounds incredibly fun.

But this wasn't as good as I expected it to be. I feel like branching out of Yumeko, Mary and Suzui is hard to do for the series, right now. But, of course, I'mma keep going.

[juuls]

yumeko ropes sumeragi, manyuda, and members of the momobami game into a game of "greater good" where sumeragi wins big by tricking miraslava honebami into teaming up with her; however, sumeragi announces she is dropping out of the race when she loses a side bet to terano totobami but is in full support of a recovered manyuda

[georgiaotaku]

Eh I didn’t need a whole volume to tell me that Sumaragi was dropping out.
