Synopsis
In the prequel Kakegurui Twin, set one year before the events of Kakegurui, we follow Mary Saotome in her first days at the elite Hyakkou Academy. At this private school, students must compete against each other in high-stakes gambling games. Though dangerous, winners gain social status and benefits, while losers essentially become employees of their more successful classmates. Mary has just arrived and will gradually establish herself at the school and create enemies within the academy's student council. Mary finds herself on a hot streak until she runs into a former classmate who is now a loser. Now, Mary must not only avoid debt through luck and wit, but also try to make friends in a new, highly competitive environment.
