Good job! :D @Orion: Cheers. You've reminded me to track down Akagi too, since I'm really beginning to dig the manga-ka's approach to storytelling. Yeah, manly tears are okay, especially if you're gifted with Mullet Power! @Iknight: “Gar-mbling” If I was wearing a hat I’d take it off to you. Good job! :D

You might be interested to know that there are a couple scenes with women in the Kaiji manga, but not until later. Even then, of course, they're hardly notable and don't get much attention. And I don't recall there ever being any females at all in Akagi. Also hooray for manly tears. The moral of the story is that it's ok to cry as long as you're also thinking of devious comeback strategies at the same time. ;P lol @ “gar-mbling”

I think I'm going to refer to <em>Kaiji</em> as a gar-mbling show from now on. Sticks out from the crowd like a really pointy nose.
