Synopsis:

Hyakkaou Private Academy presents a unique educational environment where academic studies coexist with a rigorous system of gambling. The academy caters to the offspring of global elites, fostering skills in strategy, negotiation, and risk assessment through nightly games. While daytime hours follow a traditional curriculum, evenings transform into arenas where fortunes are won and lost, shaping students' futures based on their success within these competitive scenarios.

Yumeko Jabami, a new transfer student with an enigmatic demeanor, quickly becomes a focal point within this unconventional setting. Driven by a peculiar fascination with the thrill of gambling itself, her unconventional approach challenges established norms. As she navigates the academy's intricate social dynamics and high-stakes games, Yumeko’s actions suggest she may fundamentally alter the very nature of competition at Hyakkaou. The series explores themes of power, societal inequality, and the psychological impact of calculated risk within a meticulously crafted world.
