Gamble Fish review

Story:
So this story starts off a bit strangely. As most people are use to the characters being of high school age, Tomu and his friends are actually all of middle school age. The story was well thought out with a lot of twists and turns. Of course it also made you feel smart as Tomu explained each one of the tricks to the games. The only downside to the story is when the games started to get a little TOO complex. It really took away from how Tomu really was outplaying his opponents and generally just lead to 'yay, he won, I guess?'

Art:
I personally am not a fan of the art style, but for what it was, it was well done. There were times were there was too much detail and it took away from the enjoyment, but other than those few times, nothing else was too distracting.

Characters:
Characters are some of the most important parts of the story, and every character was well thought out. Of course, almost every character had some flaw to them, along with some tragic background, except for Tomu's best friend. Even then, I never really lost sight as to why these characters were doing what they were doing. Every action was part of something meaningful to that character.

Enjoyment:
Like I previously stated, when the games started to get a little too complex and there were walls of text just trying to explain how the game was played, the enjoyment of the manga seemed to leak away. As much as I like details and knowing how things are working, when there is a whole chapter explaining how the game is played, I found myself skimming the chapters because it was rather boring to read. Then I found myself lost as Tomu is trying to explain how the game is beaten.

Overall:
This manga was something I had picked up a long time ago and came back to recently only to find it finished. It was rather enjoyable and the only thing that really ended up bothering me was just how I was no longer trying to find loopholes with Tomu, rather I was just waiting for him to explain to me how he had seen the 'trick' and he would win somehow.
