Description: "Always looking for an adventure, Sanshiro is whisked away to a backwards universe to play BakéGyamon-- a game pitting monsters against monsters. Clearing each game with just moments to spare, Sanshiro meets other contestants who aren't as happy that he's succeeding. Mick will do anything to get ahead-- lie, cheat, or steal-- and he's out to take advantage of Sanshiro's trusting personality"--Page 4 of cover.
Notes: In keeping with the original Japanese format, this book reads right-to-left, and back-to-front.
