Sure is! Kakegurui originated as a manga and has since been adapted into various forms like anime and live-action series. The manga provides the foundation for these other adaptations.
Some shows like 'Ozark' can be considered similar. It has elements that seem like they could be based on real - life financial crimes and the underworld. 'The Act' is also a good one. It was based on a true story about a mother - daughter relationship gone horribly wrong. And 'Unbelievable' is based on a true story about sexual assault investigations.
Kakegurui manga is definitely worth a read. It offers a fresh take on gambling-themed stories, and the tension and drama are maintained throughout. The visuals and the writing work together seamlessly to create an immersive experience.
Some shows like 'True Story' are 'When They See Us'. It's about the Central Park Five case and how the justice system failed them. 'Unbelievable' is also a great example. It's based on real events regarding rape investigations. And 'Dirty John' which is based on a true story of a con man and his relationship with a woman.
