The donations support the complex gambling system in the school. Students’ rankings are determined by how much they contribute to the Student Council. Like in the original series, the student council, under Kirari Momobami, rules over Hyakkaou with an iron fist. Although Mary loses her first match and finds herself in 200,000 yen debt, Tsuzura lends her the same amount, and Mary gambles again, winning this time. Shortly after her arrival, Mary has her first gambling contest against Kokoro Aiura, the top gambler in Mary’s class. The first friend she makes at the school is Tsuzura, whom she has known since grade school. Unlike most of her peers, Mary doesn’t come from a wealthy family and has enrolled at Hyakkaou on a scholarship. Hyakkaou is where the future leaders of Japan are created. The prestigious school is soon going to celebrate its 121 st year of foundation. Both the manga and anime renditions of ‘Kakegurui Twin’ are set a year before the events of Kakegurui – Compulsive Gambler.’ In episode 1, titled ‘A Girl Named Mary Saotome,’ Mary arrives at Hyakkaou as a transfer student.
