Tag Archive: Japanese manga

Manga is a type of comic art that's considered suitable for adult readers. In Japan is extremely popular, with themes covering every aspect of life. Gambling mangas feature storylines that revolve around the consequences of gambling. But we're not talking about addiction or problem gambling. The narratives follow a much darker theme. They often involve losing characters falling into some sort of criminal purgatory or having to perform illegal and violent acts in order to pay off their debts.

Though many Asian countries take a dim view of gambling, they all recognize the tax benefits. So, though many still have laws in place making gambling illegal, there are certain areas where gambling is permitted. This probably makes gambling something daring and more underground. In this manner, gambling has recently become a hot genre for box office takings. Today, you can find many Asian gambling movies that enjoy a massive following, with many sequels cashing in on their initial success.
