Line 7:
It turns out that Endou has been searching for Kaiji for a while, ever since he co-signed a contract for his friend Furuhata, which left him with a large debt. Endou also wants Kaiji to compensate for the car's damages. Kaiji is left with a choice; he must either spend 10 years [[Work Off the Debt|working off the debt]] in a labour camp, or board a gambling cruise called "Espoir" (French for "hope") where he will be able to pay off the debt in one night... If he wins.
 
And that's just how the first series begins. ''Gambling Apocalypse Kaiji'' is probably the most famous work of Nobuyuki Fukumoto, a [[Seinen]] [[Manga KaMangaka]]. Starting in 1996, it has since then received critical acclaim for its [[What Do You Mean Its Not Awesome|ridiculous yet brilliant]] gambles as well as the complex psychological analyses of the characters. There are currently four series, the first two of which have gotten anime adaptations by [[Madhouse]] (much like ''[[Akagi]]'' before it), and eventually [[Live Action Adaptation]] films and pachinko games. Kaiji also makes an appearance in ''Girls RPG Cinderellife'', a dating sim by [[Level 5]], for [[Nintendo 3DS]]. As of 2012, the fourth series has been put on hiatus and will resume in a year.
