This is for the first 7 volumes. I enjoyed these a lot more then the rest of the Yu-Gi-Oh series.
It focuses a lot more on the characters and not just "The Heart of the cards" in fact it barely mentions duel monsters at all. Which I think makes it a lot more enjoyable that i'm not reading a card battle every chapter.
The volumes past 7 really goes into the duel monsters cards and doesn't really have an interesting story like the first 7 volumes.
I would recommend this to those who have seen the rest of the Yu-Gi-Oh series. It shows the original version of the characters. Who are much darker and more human.
It is a lot more violent, so teens to older teens. read more

I was very shocked about this manga.
I've never been a fan of the Yu-Gi-Oh! show with it's card battling EVERY SINGLE EPISODE, very repeative, so of course when my father bought me 4 of it's manga I was like, "Oh GOD, how will I survive this? Watching it is bad enough...". The manga, unlike it's anime, does NOT have to do with card playing at all times and is actually fun to read! It's more focused on developing it's characters, which makes you love the story overall. I still am cringing though, waiting for it to becoming like the anime and ruining its goodness.
So I clap to you Kazuki Takahashi, author of the story for making even me like this series. read more

Both of these manga series are about a trading card game, but with the game's fluid rules the focus of each match isn't strategy as much as creativity. But ultimately, the focus isn't the game itself, but enjoying it and discovering oneself through it -- Yu-gi-oh! in a standard shounen way; King of Cards in a standard shoujo way.
Even though Yu-Gi-Oh is a shounen and King Of Cards is a shoujo, both are about a trading card game which is very popular at school, and both manga also have fantasy and action. Even their titles are alike: King Of Games - King Of Cards.

Replace the game of Go with a Card Game and it's almost the same. Both Characters have someone else within them helping them play a certain game, both of which found these spirits within an old relic of some type. The Stories are different but the set up is very similar.
