The story follows a broke, directionless young man dragged into underground gambling and desperate survival games after co-signing a massive debt for a former coworker who disappears. With no special powers and no safety net, he must outthink and outmaneuver systems rigged entirely against him.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\n        The anime adaptation, produced by Madhouse, aired from 2007 to 2008 and ran for 26 episodes, followed by a second season in 2011.
