Live-action film adaptation announced in 2016

The second 2018 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Young Jump magazine revealed on Thursday that Toshio Sako's Usogui manga will end in the next issue on December 21.

The story of Usogui follows a brilliant gambler named Baku "Usogui" Madarame as he lays down his life as the wager for various games.

Sako began the manga in 2006, and Shueisha published the manga's 48th volume on November 17. The series inspired an original video animation (OVA) bundled with the manga's 26th volume in 2012. A live-action film was announced last year but it has not yet debuted.

Sako created the new character "Shiden" who debuted as part of a collaboration in Wright Flyer Studios' Bukiyo Saraba smartphone game on September 4.
