Hate seeing a great series end, but I am so happy to have gotten such a great story from it all. Cannot wait to see what Kui-sensei's next work will be.
Well to be fair going to an underground casino is not exactly the same as the life or death gamble that they actually did together. Technically only Kaiji went to a casino that night.
I think the optimal way for this story to go is for Kaiji to actually pretend to be reforming to ease Granny's heart and he just has to work a shitty chain job until they move out.
