Anime fans who can’t wait for the Kakegurui Season 2 release date are going to be taking a backseat to Netflix watchers. Japanese viewers may have just watched the recently-released Kakegurui Episode 12, but Netflix’s delay for English dub audiences in the United States will probably delay any announcement of the second season. What’s more, the Kakegurui anime only complicated the situation with an original ending. While reading some spoilers can numb the sting of waiting, the fate of the second season really depends on the source material.
The story of the Kakegurui: Compulsive Gambler manga started in 2014 when writer Homura Kawamoto and illustrator Toru Naomura began serializing the story in Square Enix’s Gangan Joker. The manga is up to Kakegurui Volume 8 as of August of 2017.
