Take an artist who decided not to care about realism for a change (AT ALL) and have him draw the most outlandish hero set against the backdrop of a school whose students learn absolutely nothing in an environment of gambling with constant life-and-death stakes. Throw in the most laughably demented villain who would have to be gay is he wasn't so evil, lots of fanservice that doesn't apologize to anyone, and snappy writing that makes you think twice at every turn and what do you get?

Gamble Fish. This manga is so incredibly bad, it's awesome. And when I say awesome, I mean I can't WAIT for the next chapter.

Shirasagi Tomu is a genius gambler searching for his captured dad, so he enrolls in Shishidou, a gambler school, to find challenges and earn enough money to get him back. Turns out, the headmaster, a psycho nutcase that makes this story so great, is the one holding Tomu's dad prisoner. That's convenient right?

There's really nothing else to explain besides that. The manga is a series of arcs where Tomu goes up against the best of the best in gambling showdowns. Cards, pool, dice, riddles - it's all game and the author shows he's a master of wit and surprises.

Seriously, give this manga a shot. If you remember not to take it seriously, you're going to be hooked!
