Kakegurui Plot
Unlike many schools, Hyakkaou Private Academy is a place which has many children of wealthy and influential businessmen and politicians in Japan. In the school, the student hierarchy is determined by contributions to the student council that is fueled by an intricate gambling system in which students bet their fortunes against one another.
Those who are unable to contribute because of their debts become “house pets”: slaves to the whims of those who hold their debts. Those who do not clear their debts at the end of their time at the school receive Life Schedules which dictate their career and with whom they have to marry and have children.
Transfer student Yumeko Jabami is excited to start participating, but it is soon revealed she is one who gambles for the thrill of it rather than the financial or social gain. With an exceptional ability to see through gambling scams, she quickly disrupts the hierarchy of the school, and the student council frantically tries to find ways to shut her down.
