This was not at all what I was expecting. This is my very first introduction to Yu-gi-oh and not gonna lie, I thought this was just an manga about some guy named Yugioh only playing a card game.
But like it was super charming and I think really well paced. The characters were lovable and well rounded with flaws that make sense. I’m really looking forward to the next one.

What is not to love about Yugioh. I mean the manga has got everything you could ever want from these characters while completely going off the rails from the anime. Theres questionable Egyptian archaeology, teenage perverts, saucy old grandpas, gangs of teenage children, life or death games with the stakes being way too high, cute school romances, and much more. Oh and how could I forget the overall moral being the power of friendship? Truly a motivational message for all. So far it is like a wackier version of Death Note, which is why it is my new fave thing right now.

Ich war anfangs sehr begeistert, weil es überhaupt nicht wie im Anime ist, aber der Manga zieht sich irgendwann sehr. Es sind im Grunde immer wieder kleine Kurzgeschichten, die meistens auch unabhängig voneinander gelesen werden können.

I really enjoyed it. First time reading the manga and I have only seen the show. But it is nice to learn a little more about the back story and my god is it darker than I thought.

This manga was really different than expected. I used to watch the anime and I played the game a little bit, but the manga is what came first. These first 3 volumes don't even really touch the card game, there are maybe like 20-30 pages that are about the card game and all the rest is about these shadow games that Yugi plays. This is really interesting to see because from what I remember, the anime starts off way later in the story. The manga feels more like a prequel at the moment if anything, which I don't mind. The story is also more mature than the anime, which is a welcome change.
Normally I don't really count a regular manga as a book for my Goodreads reading goal of the year, since it's quite short. I wouldn't feel like it truly counted towards my goal. This book however, is a 3 in 1, which means that you got 3 manga volumes in 1 edition, which is around 600 pages. So that's good enough in my book.
Anyways, back to the book itself. At first, the story took a while to get going for me, but when it did it was great. It was also interesting to see that so far Tristan (Honda) plays a much smaller role in the story, he's not even there for the vast majority of it. Téa, Joey and Yugi are the main friend group so far.
Anyways, I really enjoyed reading through this and I will definitely pick up the next 3 in 1 volume!
