It is: Endō and Itō.

Who cares about the horrendous art ?
I certainly don't.
Nor do I care about the story, the narration, the characters' development, the athmosphere, or lack thereof.
In these respects it's on a par with Liar Game : it could have been serialized as a series of power point pages with bullet points and diagrams, as far as I'm concerned it would have reached the same enjoyment level, which is... pretty good.

I read it mostly for the puzzles, for the sake of using my brain before it's taken over by Alzheimer.
They were well thought out, didn't require too much suspension of disbelief.

I also need to mention (some of) the dialogs : I couldn't help but piss myself when interchangeable cardboard figurines (aka the characters) referred so roughly and yet almost casually to another or themselves as "trash", "garbage", and so on (hence the title of my review) ; or when the teammates took their goldfish stance while their leader was explaining the logic behind his moves ; or when, at every game twist, they envisioned their sinister fate. (EDIT: i might deserve to be called a cynical nihilist soab)

That being said if you're not fond of mangas with walls upon walls of text, you might go crazy at the length of this series, and the time it takes to move the plot forward, as Shintoshi said.

Finally there is somebody scanlating it. This is actually one of the awesomest mangas, the plot, depth, characters are just perfect. The art may seem kinda weird at first, but once you get used to it you will find it ingenious, original and overall awesome. All in all a must-read for anyone who's into gambling or psychological mindgames

As an anime, I found it to be wonderfully deep and introspective, though quite slow. I can only hope this project gets picked up by a group or liscenced so that I can enjoy the full story.
