What began in the pages of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine (between September 1996 and March 2004) grew into two anime adaptations (one by Toei Animation and one by NAS). The manga itself is very gaming focused and the in-story fictional game of Duel Monsters becomes a narrative element driving the broader tale. Here we follow the trials of Yugi Mutou, a young boy who unlocks an alter-ego version of himself after solving an ancient puzzle. Yu-Gi-Oh! began life as a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Kazuki Takahashi. What happens when a fictitious game within a much-loved Japanese manga spawns a real world card game that becomes almost as culturally important as the manga that started it? This is the story of Yu-Gi-Oh! and the trading card game that grew out of it, eventually going on to sell over 22 billion cards (and counting).
