Akagi isn't a show about mahjong, and it's not really a show about yakuza. Akagi is a show about the main character: Akagi, and how he's a total badass. He shows his lack of fear and cool calculating mind in the direst of situations. The show is like Kaiji except with a very strong lead as opposed to a very weak one. Similar to One Outs in feel, but better.
