Gambler,
and it describes the series:
Hyakkaou Private Academy. An institution for the privileged with
a very peculiar curriculum. You see, when you're the sons and daughters of the
wealthiest of the wealthy, it's not athletic prowess or book smarts that keep
you ahead. It's reading your opponent, the art of the deal. What better way to
hone those skills than with a rigorous curriculum of gambling? At Hyakkaou Private
Academy, the winners live like kings, and the losers are put through the
wringer. But when Yumeko Jabami enrolls, she's gonna teach these kids what a
high roller really looks like!
A 10-episode
live-action show premiered in Japan in January, and Netflix is streaming the
series outside of Japan. A second live-action season and a
live-action film will premiere in spring 2019.
