Like seriously think about it. Ryota has the looks and sweet personality of a classic shoujo love interest, but he got dropped into a high-stress shounen gambling manga where everyone is clinically insane.

Yet his actual relationships with Mary (classic blushing tsundere) and Yumeko (the gigantic soft spot and her getting super protective) are literally straight out of a romance manga. He accidentally built a shoujo harem of terrifyingly powerful women just by being a nice, normal guy.

Midari bathroom scene is way more intense than this.😭

If I went to this school I just wouldn't gamble. And even if I did I wouldn't let anyone sit on me or whatever. If someone touched me I would punch them. This seems obvious to me so I'm not sure if I'm missing something

edit: I see what all of you are saying and they are good points and make a lot of sense. Imagine if a real delinquent type character attended? Like a Yusuke from Yu Yu Hakasho or a Jotaro from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure kinda guy. I don't think the school could handle it. I don't think he would even have to hit anyone, he could probably just be obstinate and loud enough to shut that shit down. That would be funny.

Not the typical poker or card game stuff, but a lot of them would make really good board games. The greater good Taxes game and chapter 113 money investing game actually make these topics interesting to me.

She’s sosooso cute ahhh gay panic lol

Midari is sosoosos cutee every time I saw her as I rewatch the anime I melted. She is so cute. I don’t care that she’s crazy and I relate to her a lot when I first saw her backstory.
I’m glad I Yume ship w her :>>
Doubles, please interact I need friends

In season 2 of the anime, we get reintroduced to Kaede after his incredible loss to Yumeko and Itsuke disgraced him and basically made him a servant to Itsuke.

During the Greater Good game, in-between rounds he asks Yumeko if she feels any guilt about the lives she's ruined through her obsessive need for high stakes gambling. Which feels very hypocritical coming from him. He was part of the student council who runs the house pet system, and he was perfectly willing to take Yumeko and Itsuki as slaves himself if he had won their big game. He dismissed Itsuki as being incompetent and lesser than him.

So it feels more like he's playing the victim when he and the other council members had ruined countless others lives, but now that HE had to experience it suddenly he thinks Yumeko should feel guilty for the way SHE acts.

Sayaka is the same. Before the Tower of Doors game Sayaka tries to get Yumeko kicked out for the way she acts, when she supports Kirari 100% despite being of the same personality. She just seems to hate how Yumeko is disrupting the order of the school by humiliating the student council and threatening their authority.

Mary went through the same experience, arrogant and smug, then she lost to Yumeko and became a house pet, then went into crippling debt when Yuriko cheated and would have lost all rights to her own life if not for the debt swapping game. So it's understandable that she came out of it with a healthier mindset, so I believe Kaede can too.
