Yu-Gi-Oh! (3-in-1 Edition), Vol. 8

The manga series that inspired the card game that swept the globe! Tenth-grader Yugi always had his head in some game—until he solved the Millennium Puzzle, an Egyptian artifact containing the spirit of a master gambler from the age of the pharoahs! Possessed by the puzzle, Yugi becomes Yu-Gi-Oh, the King of Games, and challenges evildoers to the Shadow Games…weird games with high stakes and high risks! It’s Yugi and Kaiba vs. the Rare Hunters in a tag team match atop a 13-story skyscraper. But a fate worse than death awaits Yugi when he finds out Mai and Jonouchi have been possessed by Marik! Brainwashed by the evil mastermind, Jonouchi fights to kill his best friend. Will he succeed? Original Yu-Gi-Oh! creator Kazuki Takahashi first tried to break into the manga business in 1982, but success eluded him until Yu-Gi-Oh! debuted in the Japanese Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1996. Yu-Gi-Oh! 's themes of friendship and competition, together with Takahashi's weird and wonderful art, soon became enormously successful, spawning a real-world card game, video games, and six anime series (two Japanese Yu-Gi-Oh! series, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal, and Yu-Gi-Oh ARC-V ).
