Synopsis

Hyakkaoh Private Academy is a common elite school for the rich－except that it has a peculiar tradition: gambling skill is all it takes under the rigorous hierarchy and the student council oversees all gambling activities.

A transfer student Yumeko Jabami, seemingly graceful but actually a "compulsive gambler" who finds pleasure in taking risks, gets entangled in the most intense gambling battles to win the position of student rep that whole school is vying for.
