Time rewinds to the days when a young Time rewinds to the days when a young Yumeko and her big sister, Souko, live in quiet bliss. But there is no true peace for the Jabamis—as the compulsion for gambling courses through their veins! When the grinding gears of the two sisters’ world begin to creak, is the sound they hear the rasping of despair…or the first notes of grace?
In Yumeko’s past, the battle between her sister and aunt for the Jabami name reaches its climax. To love is to deceive; to love is to destroy another’s will. Endless risk and despair also make for pleasure, forming the cradle that transforms a young Yumeko into the gambling fiend she is today. And as the story returns to the present, what new stage awaits the students of Hyakkaou Academy…?
The Hyakkaou Academy Guardians Society is an alumni organization meant to protect and guide students. But while they carry the beautiful and lofty title of “Guardians,” their real methods involve violence and oppression—and they’ve abducted Kirari Momobami while planning to abolish the student council presidency! Now it’s up to Yumeko and the newly assembled student council to win her back. The curtain rises on a field trip like no other…the Gamble Cruise!
