26 eps

Suspense

Mahjong might be a casual pastime for most people, but in the underground gambling world, it's a matter of life and death. Nangou's buried himself under three million yen in debt, and he's out of options. His last shot is to risk everything—including his life—in a mahjong match against the yakuza. As the tiles fall, though, it becomes clear he's losing, and fast. Things look hopeless until Shigeru Akagi, a teenager fleeing the cops, crashes the game. Desperate, Nangou passes the buck to this kid after a quick tutorial. The mafia laughs it off. But Akagi isn't your average kid. He's a natural-born gambler with ice in his veins and no fear of death. He's the kind of player who becomes a legend.
