The series also includes segments covering a portion of chapters from "1-nichi Gaishutsuroku Hanchō", a spin-off manga about the foreman Ōtsuki. The opening theme is by Gesu no Kiwami Otome, the first ending theme is by Pistol Takehara, and the second ending is by NoisyCell. The series ran for 24 episodes. Sentai Filmworks have licensed the anime and an English dub began streaming on Hidive on August 3, 2018. Sentai Filmworks released the series on Blu-ray on October 15, 2019. The show is also available for viewing on Crunchyroll. The 2017 edition of Takarajimasha's "Kono Manga ga Sugoi!" guidebook ranked the series #1 on its list of manga for male readers. In 2018, the manga was among the top 20 best-selling Amazon Kindle books in Japan, ranked at #16, based on sales data between November 13, 2017 and October 31, 2018. As of November 2018, the manga had over 2.9 million copies in circulation. "Anime News Network" had four editors review the first episode of the anime series. Paul Jensen wrote that the series would mainly appeal to "Kaiji" fans, but that "it could be amusing enough to lure in other viewers as long as it gives its humor some much-needed breathing room". Theron Martin stated that just the few minutes of recap shown at the beginning of the first episode is enough to make the series accessible to newcomers. Martin had a positive impression about the comedy of the series, and stated that it could find its "own niche and faithful following". James Beckett said that the series is aimed "exclusively at middle-aged Japanese viewers who can empathize with the highs and lows of being the middle manager of a large corporation (criminal or otherwise)". He concluded; "It isn't very good, but it might work for some folks out there". Rebecca Silverman called it "pretty boring", and criticized the "over-narration", adding; "it feel as if we could just be listening to the show rather than it having a visual component at all". Silverman concluded; "There's just not enough in this episode to make me want to go any further with the series – because ultimately watching the game play out is more interesting than watching someone build it". Paul Chapman of "Crunchyroll" recommended the anime series, stating that it is "sure to appeal to any anime fan that's ever had to put their nose to the 9-to-5 corporate grindstone".
