Book Review: Trillion Game vol. 2


Self-proclaimed “world’s greediest man” Haru and timid computer whiz Gaku set out to make a trillion dollars. They start the company Trillion Game to accomplish this task and hope to iron out the details as they go. With charm, technical skills, and no business plan, can these unlikely friends reach their lofty goal?

Hoping to get their money-making efforts off the ground, Haru and Gaku enter a hacking competition sponsored by Dragon Bank. Competing against elite teams of professionals, the two implement a risky strategy that could lead to a life-changing payoff if it succeeds!

Trillion Game vol. 2 by Riichiro Inagaki and Ryoichi Ikegami will be published on November 19, 2024. VIZ Media provided an early galley for review.

Continuing the story right where volume 1 left off, we're back into the final round of the Security Championship competition. However, we are also introduced to several new characters in these next eight chapters. One is Mr. Kedoin, a smartly dressed hipster who is also very interested in the outcome of the competition and in our protagonists. If you told me that Johnny Depp were the inspiration of his look and design, I could absolutely see that.

The story is a slower burn but the art keeps me engaged. Between the language, sexual content and alcohol and drug use, this manga definitely gets a mature rating (as noted on the back of the book). It is recommended for adult readers - 18 and up.
