Overview
Set in the nineties at Tokiwagi Middle School, this five-volume manga collection follows Hajime Kano, a diligent student who has always lived in the shadow of his magnetic classmate Emi Sawatari. When the Magic: The Gathering craze sweeps their school, card games become the new arena for popularity, rivalry, and friendship. Written by Katsura Ise with art by Takuma Yokota, the series captures nineties tabletop gaming culture with humor and genuine heart. Volumes 1 through 5 build a complete story arc, tracking tournaments and the bond between two kids who find common ground over a shared deck of cards.

About the Books
This collection gathers the first five volumes of a manga series that turns competitive card gaming into a coming-of-age story. Hajime Kano is the kind of student who tries hard but always finishes second to Emi Sawatari, the effortlessly popular girl who seems to succeed at everything without trying. When Magic: The Gathering arrives at Tokiwagi Middle School in the late 1990s, the social hierarchy Hajime has quietly accepted starts to shift, one carefully built deck at a time. Katsura Ise, known for co-creating the cult indie series Catcher in the Toilet! with artist Takuma Yokota, returns to the page with a story that blends slice-of-life school drama with the strategic tension of tabletop dueling. Yokota's linework brings both the emotional beats and the card-table showdowns to life, giving readers a visual rhythm that moves easily between classroom banter and high-stakes tournament play. As the volumes progress, references to real-world Magic: The Gathering history, including the Urza's Saga expansion, ground the story in an authentic nineties gaming timeline that longtime players will recognize immediately. Beyond the nostalgia, the series explores how a shared hobby can rewrite the rules of friendship, rivalry, and self-worth for two kids who otherwise might never have connected. Fans of character-driven manga and readers who grew up shuffling their own MTG decks will find a lot to love in this five-book run, which reads as a complete, satisfying arc rather than a series of disconnected chapters.
