Synopsis — from MyAnimeList
This is the story of "Shinemon Nitta", the future manager of Card Capital. 10 years before the reunion of Aichi Sendou and Toshiki Kai, the card shop run by the Tokura family "Card Capital" was going out of business. Then came the attempt to take over the store by Esuka Hibino, the owner of a major card shop. In order to protect Card Capital, Shinemon Nitta stands up as the "Self-proclaimed Manager!"
Audience Consensus
Audience reception is mixed. While some appreciate Shinemon's character and Misaki's development, many find the plot repetitive, the side characters underdeveloped, and the fight choreography uninspired. The reliance on critical triggers in card fights is a point of contention, detracting from the main character's credibility.
Strengths
- Character development of Misaki
- Compelling motivations of the main character Shinemon
Weaknesses

- Underdeveloped side characters
