Kakegurui - Compulsive Gambler -, Vol. 04 by Homura Kawamoto

5.0

 Better pop that popcorn, because we're watching a live-on-TV gambling competition!

Even though the actual games were perhaps more based on luck than skill, it's always been the mind games that interested me in this series rather than the physical games alone. To that end, we're given an interesting character and a good level of backstory in Yumemi Yumemite, as well as continued scheming by the Student Council. The president being away allows the other students' personalities to shine, and boy do they ever. Even Mary and opponent-turned-potential-ally Itsuki Sumeragi's asides during the competition are funny and contribute a good bit to the story.

In short, I basically went from the most skippable volumes in the manga to one of the least skippable ones.
