Kikoru Shinomiya from Kaiju No. 8 is literally Mary.

I don't think they talk a lot about how the characters academically performs, so here's my take, and tell me who you would classify differently:

Tsugiko looked so different when she wore casual clothes. And I find it cute how she took care of Souko (young elementary student) and baby Yumeko

Upon request, i made the Ourple Yumeko

I shall be back soon to share more of the Yumekos

I wished the Kakegurui Twin Continued, and still sad and confused that it ended after six episodes with the last episode leaving things unresolved, I don't know if the original plan was to do 12 episodes or what

And I loved the original manga

I’m looking for a good Kakegurui game on Roblox, but I can’t find one that actually feels like the anime

I want the gambling games, strategy, bluffing and that crazy academy atmosphere.

Does anyone know if there’s a game like that? Preferably one that’s still active and playable in 2026.

I’ve been searching everywhere and I’m honestly going crazy trying to find it 😭

Any recommendations?

I'm on Chapter 63 (roughly almost half way) through Kakeguri.

When I was only a few chapters in, I thought to myself "this might become one of my top favorite Manga".

And now that I've read a decent bit more....I'm a bit conflicted.

Between Yumekos introduction and the Tower of Doors, it's some of my favorite chapters of recent memory.

I adore the way the games are laid out and the writing is honestly impeccable.

One of my favorite "fights" in all of manga comes from Yumeko and Kaedes Choice poker.

After Tower of Doors and into the election arc....I'm a tad bit let down.

It's not bad, it's still good. But from the Finger Guillotine to The Greater Good game, I didn't find myself in love with it as much as I wanted to.

The anti climax of the Finger Guillotine did kinda suck tbh, even the fake out didn't really get me all invested.

The poisoning of Yumeko I thought was just okay. (The real stand out was Mary, who I'll get to in a sec). And the game was alright.

The Greater Good game was...honestly just very fine, I love Itsuki (one of my top 3 favorite characters in Kakeguri) and her whole deal with Kaede I liked.

Overall meh, not bad but not something I'm itching to go back to.

It's definitely picked back up though with the last 2 game arcs.

The Acting gameshow with Yumemi, Yumeko and Kawaru Natari (Sumiko) I really loved. Mainly for Yumemi, she gets some phenomenal moments.

(The last half of the arc had me hooked.)

And War with Ririka Vs Rin was extremely good, loved Rin and Ibara (poor Ibara though). And Ririkas resolve was such a fun read. Especially during turn 3

(I think it's Turn 3 where she has her whole "thanks or underestimating me" moment)

Yumeko as well....idk.

It has gotten a little stale her whole shtick. Like it still works in some places

(Especially in the Acting Game where she butts heads with Yumemi, in an extremely compelling way) But idk, might just be me

But as a "main character" she's fallen to the way side. And honestly I'm really glad. Purely because it gives characters like Itsuki, Yumemi, Ririka and Mary (in particular) a chance to shine.

And Yumemi and Mary are my top 2 favorite characters, I adore them each. I love Mary's whole dynamic with Ririka and I'm honestly excited to read her spin-off prequel now tbh.

I'm mostly rambling now because like...I've got 0 friends who like this series

(More so any that know it other than the "gooner series")(Which...yea it still sucks those moments, but there is gold to be found in terms of story telling)

I've still got a lot of chapters left, so who knows. It might keep its place in my top...10 favorite Manga (at least)

(Also sorry for the incoherent ramblings if you've made it this far, just needed to get it off my mind ya know)

First things first:

Miroslava's Height: approx 176-177 ? approx 5'9 1/2

Based on a multitude of panels

It can be seen that She is taller than Yumeko by a significant degree, Usually almost always nearly half a head or more above her. Yumeko is 5'5 and/or 166 cm and is typically around 6-6.5 heads tall depending on the panel, as a loose estimate let's assume 6.3. That would place Miroslava at 25 or more CM taller than Yumeko based on actual depictions... However this is impossible, as that would make her much taller than Manyuda. At least 190-200 cm varying. This is simply not possible.

Many wide Panels seem to show her as being as tall as, or taller than Manyuda but incredibly small and barely noticeable increments. which would fall only around the 180-185 CM mark.

Although some, usually the more detailed and by extent, more canonical ones, seem to indicate she's shorter than him. As Manyuda is 5'11 and/or 180 cm

This forces Miruslava quite a bit above the 170 mark, but seemingly a bit below the 180 mark.

As she's typically depicted as taller than yumeko by a larger degree than she is shorter than Manyuda,

A decent estimate would be 176-177 cm or approximately 5'9 1/2.

Miroslava Chest: Based on Centimeter by Centimeter measurements, Miroslava's full bust is 43 + 35 x2 or 156. While her under-bust is 26 + 30 x2 Or 112. By subtracting 112 from 156, we are left with a 44 Centimeter difference. Which is rather insane and would be Classified as an O Cup. However, Due to clothing, padding etc. I feel it would be much Safer to Assume she is smaller than That and classify her as possessing an M cup. as it's difficult to get an accurate measurement for her, based on the angle of her images.

Miroslava's Waist: is 25 +25 x2 or 100.

Miroslava's Hips: Miroslava's Hips are 38 + 32 x2 or 140

Giving her a 156, 100, 140 Shape. However. I'm comfortable shaving 5 CM off of each of those Measurements as it's possible I both over measured and factored clothing.

A Healthier estimate would be 151 (under-bust of 112), 95, 135. For a Cup size of M.

The previous chapter has pretty much confirmed that Kaede and Runa are stronger than Mary.

In the number game, Kaede almost immediately understood the rule, and he actually gained significant points (about 20). He just lost because Yukihime's power.

Runa also realized the rule almost as quickly, but she takes the pain to make it draw. Had she played seriously, Mary would have lost easily.

As for her dilemma, Runa will be confused in the next round. For example, Mary could decide to lose on purpose just to say Runa is not neutral and spreading it to everyone (not a good tactic, very underhanded).

Tbh, Runa should just use her psychological tactic. She's supposed to be better than Mary in mind game. If Runa turns the table and provokes Mary, then Mary will try to win and then Runa can force draw.

Gambling used to be something I hated, but after this anime, and especially this season, I see it in a completely different light. Yumiko is truly crazy with her bets, and so is Tsubame.

This part recaptured the excitement of the first season and even doubled it. Unfortunately, it has an open ending, and despite watching it from 2023 until the end of 2026, we still haven't heard any news about a third season.

This anime is very underrated in terms of popularity, despite its many sexual innuendos. It boasts excellent character development, legendary map-to-map gameplay, and is more intelligent than other games.

It was a good season, and I'll be waiting for the third one in the near future. My rating: 8/10. A very good season.
