Saw this anime not long ago and got curious about it, just based of vibes alone it reminded me of Liar Liar which had a good premise but fell flat.

So I’m curious on like generally what kind of vibe this anime will have?

I'm up to date on the last chapter that came out, the art is beautiful and I think the story is quite strange, but with each chapter it gets more interesting, there are only female characters so don't expect a male protagonist, I'm looking forward to the anime, it will undoubtedly be one of the most different of the season, I didn't say anything about the story because you can read that in the synopsis, if you really want to know the story I recommend you read the manga.

@ReMightyRon Thanks I appreciate the small heads up, im fine with or without male characters but I always like seeing more female leads, I'll definitely read the source material if I end up liking the anime.

Hell I might just read it for the art if it really is that good

@ReMightyRon

Are the waifus all gonna make it to the end or are there gonna be any traumatizing deaths?
I'd like to know if it's the latter as it would mean this anime is not for me and can just skip.

Never mind, I read the wiki. This is basically My Dress Up Darling + Squid Game. Guess it's a skip for me...

@Aeliasson Yes, it has a similar feel to what you describe, but I recommend reading about 3 chapters of the manga because that's enough for you to get an idea of ​​whether or not to watch the anime.

You’ve got my attention, though Kaiji sets a pretty high bar! 😁

Cute girls do Saw. Especially with the amount of story saw ends up having, let's hope it keeps up the pace of the LNs!

@CreamLemon87 As of now, I have read 4 volumes of the light novels. So I will rephrase it:

Kaiji: Hot Girls Edition.

I just noticed that the girls are pretty hot after reading several more volumes.

Yuki has terrible social skills as compared to the dude in Kaiji~

I don't intend to watch the anime though-

Went to check the manga after the 1st episode too see if they were censoring. While in that regard they seem faithful, I stumble they aren't portraying the psychological aspect well... they skipped a lot of internal monologues and made the MC more apathetic and collected then she is. So I guess the adaptation won't be that faithful.

@Snaita The mc and the story is based on VN, I read and watched all 3 versions...
She slowly loses personality, While gaining it... All 3 personality are 3 different dere's...
I liked anime the most...
SO, They are trying to give her a multiple personality disorder...?
LN MC was checking momono's thigh and body for 2 full page...
Manga MC blushed when Aoi grabbed her hands...
LN further describes it as she was happy? about being surrounded by gorgeous women...
So she isn't sure if she is happy or she's faking it...
She at one points says that Aoi is here because she is unable to converse her feelings...
So, she couldn't find employment
So she is the most likely to became a regular...
I think they can do something interesting...
If they can pull it off...

FYI for anyone reading this thread. The original source is the light novel. I've read up to volume 4 of the novels (the latest one officially translated).

The first episode captures the feel of the novels, even down to the very format itself, extremely faithfully.

As for what to expect... Well, if you watched the first episode, you know the gist of it. I'd say to go into it with as few expectations as possible. It's a journey, one best taken without expectations.
