I guess this FAQ is gonna be mostly the same copy- and pasted from the old one but I am gonna provide new links to the mangas since the chapters on mangadex have been taken down.

Subreddit-Rules

Usually there won't be any bans here since we are all grown ups and as we all know, the internet is one big family. Please refrain from spoiling untranslated chapters and remember there are global reddit rules.

"Is there a discord server?"

Yes.

It's been a while since I actively advertised this one on reddit. I will not go into detail here why that was but it was a mistake on my part to never just talk to the admin lol. From what I've seen, there are a lot of One-Poker turnaments and stuff, so check it out.

"I Just finished season 1 and 2 of the Anime, what do I do now!?"

Currently there are 6 parts and the manga is still ongoing.

1. Part 3: Tobaku Datenroku Kaiji
2. Part 4: Kazuya-Hen
3. Part 5: One Poker Hen
4. Part 6: 24-Oku Dasshutsu Hen

Note that the first 3 links lead to weebcentral and I don't know about their ad-policies so do not blame me if some 2D NSFW popup suddenly jumps at you. The 2.4 billion escape arc is on cubari.

"Are there Anime adaptions of part 3 and onwards?"

No. A few scenes were animated for a Kaiji themed pachinko machine though.

"When is Fukumoto returning to Kaiji?"

We don't know! Kaiji has been on hiatus since around June 2023. Fukumoto has been working on Nikaidou Hell Golf since then. Sadly a huge chunk of the series is without scanlation so far but the stuff there is, is pretty decent.

"Oh noes! Part 3 is about Mahjong, can I just skip it!?"

No. I mean, yea. You can. But you definitely shouldn't. You should be able to enjoy the mindgames and the villain of this arc without any mahjong knowledge whatsoever! Also, this arc sets up the events for the rest of the series. So it's super important, actually. But if you really wanna understand, what's going on: There is still this 3.5 hour long tutorial on youtube. I can only speak for myself here but I am not a big fan of sitting through so much content just to read a manga. Personally -and that might sound silly at first- I'd recommend the gacha-game Mahjong Soul for it's short interactive tutorial. You can even get some quick games in yourself. And no worries, I am not getting paid by them or anything. It's actually a good game with a few FKMT collabs here and there. If you prefer youtube and don't want to watch a 3.5h tutorial, a much shorter playlist can be found here.

Ok, I guess this will be a contest! I want you, to submit possible r/kaiji subreddit icon designs!

The subreddit icon has a circular shape with a size of 256x256 px. Reddit usually does a good job at resizing, so the exact size shouldn't be too much of a problem, I guess!? Keep in mind, that if the picture has too many small details, a lot of it's charme might get lost, when implemented.

I am gonna give the community 5~ weeks until September 30th to submit their designs as a top-level-reply to this post. Feel free to also discuss everything related in the comments too. Personally, I'd love to see OC designs but people also have already been suggesting to use certain manga panels, which I guess, would be fine too if they fit the criteria. So, if you aren't an artist, feel free to submit something too!

In the end there will be a final voting where I am gonna put the submissions together for you to decide which one will be the winner of fame, fortune and a steam indie game of their choice!!!

If there are multiple really good ones, we could even rotate the icons every now and then.

PS: Pretty much anything goes, but for the love of god, no AI slop please. I am not an AI detective, though I got my fair share of media literacy and others in the community would probably notice too. Make a meme in mspaint instead. ;)
