Akagi





Synopsis
Akagi is a young boy who is a very talented gambler and makes remarkable wins in the story. In the first story he starts to play mahjong against Japanese mafia (Yakuza) for the first time in his life, but learns the game quickly and wins. Mahjong is a game that involves huge amounts of money and the Yakuza gangs use it to earn money, so when Akagi first won, it was his first step into the underground business. Akagi shows incredible talent throughout the story, but he also is a heretic that makes him different from others - his playing style is characterized by extremely risky and far-reaching bluffing techniques, which excite and terrify experienced players, as does his cheating ability, which he uses rarely, but to great effect. In the end he becomes a legend in the underground world.

Member Review
It looked really crappy at first, but I'm glad I watched it. The story is good and unique. The main character is very cold and clever (which I like ^^ ).
The mahjong battles are cool, though they got kinda boring at the end.

I'd give it a 7/10

Characters
Shigeru Akagi
Being completely fearless, very manipulative and calculating, Akagi takes risks other high-ranked players are not capable of, and in short order not only wins his first match, but also moves up to even higher stakes games. With this talent for gambling, Akagi's rise as a mahjong legend is inevitable.
