Completing a so-called "elementary schooler trilogy" along with "Ro-Kyu-Bu"(https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...) and "Angel's 3-Piece" (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...), it's no surprise that it consists of a boy coaching a team of elementary schoolers, in this case about (No Limit Texas Hold'em) Poker.
In this case, the coach has to earn money to help his hospital-ridden sister, and while managing a meager team ravaged by a certain "ghost of the past", he suddenly finds a rookie that becomes enamored with the game. He'll soon find himself entrusting the hopes of the team to her, along with the rather-mechanical president and the sly girl who is a master at reading tells.
The problem is, unlike a novel such as "Gamblers Do Not Pray" (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...), even though that one features cheating, this work just can't quite reach an interesting psychological element. The card battles do have a good technical side to them, but they kind of peter out when it comes to the resolution, and the themes of "believing in coincidence" and "making friends through poker" don't really resonate. Seems like the author still can't bring back "Ro-Kyu-Bu's" quality...
