Hello everyone! I’m Saori from Otaku Republic!

The news I’m introducing this time is—believe it or not—the manga that does everything except get an anime has finally been greenlit for an anime!!! And it starts airing this October!? Everything is moving so fast!!!

I was so happy and excited when I heard this news! JUNKET BANK, which depicts the ’new era of gambling’ and has been featured in these articles several times, is finally becoming an anime!

To briefly explain the plot of JUNKET BANK, it’s a unique gambling battle manga set in the place where ’the most money-obsessed people in the country gather’...... in other words, a bank! Akira, a rookie bank clerk, is suddenly ordered to transfer to a mysterious department called the Special Business Division. The place he is guided to is actually a massive gambling den operated secretly by the bank! And there, he encounters Shin, a gambler who exudes an overwhelming aura!

The charm of JUNKET BANK is precisely the bizarre presence of the gamblers who appear! Usually, gambling means the winner gets a large sum of prize money, but most of the gamblers in JUNKET BANK have absolutely no interest in ’that sort of thing.’ What they desire more than anything is to watch their opponent, who has bet everything, lose miserably and pathetically right before their eyes. To expose the opponent’s entire hand, deceive them, and reign as the winner! It’s a manga where gamblers who live for that thrill, even at the cost of their lives, gather!

Actual fan letters have reportedly said things like, ’I can’t fully understand the rules of many of the gambling games, but the intense psychological warfare and brain battles are so interesting that I keep watching.’ It’s incredibly ruthless, but JUNKET BANK features so many outrageous gamblers that you can almost understand that feeling! Plus, the anime starts airing in October 2026! That means it starts in about half a year!!? That’s too fast...... Everyone, especially those who love psychological warfare and brain battles, and of course those who love characters who have lost their minds, please check out the JUNKET BANK manga before the anime airs to get ready!
