dorkoblorko's manga / #Beating the odds(2)

While I've read a few chapters of Kakegurui - Compulsive Gambler, I can say with certainty that Twin has given me a much more enjoyable reading experience. Twin follows Mary (or Meari, if you prefer) when she first starts attending Hyakkaou. Like Yumeko, she makes a strong entrance by beating the class bully. Unlike Yumeko, however, Mary feels like she's actually trying to strategize and win. In general, Mary was much more likable as a main character, and following her journey through Hyakkaou was beyond riveting. If you wanted Kakegurui but less horny, I believe Twin has got you covered. Also, Hoshizuka is for sure gay for Mary.

Kumo-chan is a very good main character, at least in my opinion. Her ability to beat the odds and attempt to strategize during a fight makes her eventual escape into the overworld extremely satisfying to read. She has a personality, a lot of spunk and the ability to think quick on her feet, which makes every successful battle not only satisfying (due to her being born weak), but believable too. Not to mention the current chapters are popping the fuck off. If you have the time, please give Kumo a read.
