Gamble Fish review

Gamble Fish is about a boy and his quest for money. Lots of money. But unlike us humans who have to get an actual job and put in actual effort for our money, this 14 year old boy can gamble his way to fortune. This super human talent of his is what keeps you coming back for more.

Story - Pretty basic. The main character, Shirasagi, goes through a series of matches, picking up a new girl when he wins. There's a little bit of his past revealed after each victory, which only seems to spark more questions about where he came from. All of this is interesting, but it's during Shirasagi's matches that the manga really shines. The boy's extraordinary skill and intellect is, as I said, super human. But all his tricks and schemes would, in theory, work in real life. This makes it fun to read about the impossible corner he's gotten himself into and wonder to yourself: "How's he going to get out of this one?" Exactly how he does is always revealed after his victory.

Art - Nothing to complain about here. It's sharp, well drawn, and looks like it should. Sometimes the people in the stands look like the little critters in Wii baseball, which is to say it lacks detail. But unless you really study the pages, your eyes will be happy with the art.

Character - The main character is, as I said, brilliant. This mystery surrounding him and his circumstances is slowly being revealed as new chapters are released. The many side characters could definitely benefit from some development, but since there's been only 29 chapters so far, I'm holding back criticism on this one.

Enjoyment - I would pick this up while you wait for new chapters of your favorite manga to come out. Is this going to eclipse your current favorite? Probably not. But you'll find yourself engrossed in Shirasagi's world of professional gambling long enough to forget your want of that next chapter for a while. Go ahead; give it a try. You won't regret it.
