Spring 2019 Anime: Official Twitter Hashtags & Pages
That was it for the first season of 2019. Many good titles graced our screens, but if we want to be honest, there are too many series in the new season we have been waiting for quite a long time.
The second season of Kakegurui revealed a new visual and the introductions for 11 new characters. The new visual focuses on the main characters Yumeko and Kirari, who are in the center, and around them are other students of Hyakkaou Private Academy. That’s a total of 23 characters on one visual, which means there are many characters that can spice up this second season for us viewers!

Children of wealthy houses attend the Hyakkaou Private Academy. The school’s hierarchy is measured by the students’ gambling skills. Reigning as the top of the school, dominating the lives of the weak and even influencing political and business affairs, were the student council. However, student council president Kirari Momobami suddenly declares the dissolution of the student council and calls for a general election.
The rule for the election is that each person can vote once. All students have the opportunity to aim for the top of the school. Kirari seeks chaos and pleasure with this election campaigns. Moreover, a new threat takes advantage of this time to appear. It comes from the Momobami and its branch families, connected to Yumeko and Kirari.

In this school, the rules of the jungle apply. So will you be the ‘bait’ or the one that eats the weaker animals? The last-minute choice of the inspirational ‘Ultimate Election Battle Royale’ begins.
