About FX Senshi Kurumi-chan

Written by Demunyan and illustrated by Daisuki Tansan, the original manga began serialization in the pages of Kadokawa’s Comic Flapper magazine in February 2021. The story follows Kurumi Fukuga, a young university student who decides to enter the risky world of the Forex market to recover the 20 million yen lost by her late mother in investments. Believing it will be a simple process, Kurumi crashes headfirst into a reality where extreme gains and losses happen in seconds, facing stressful margin calls and wild charts alongside other girls risking their money in the stock market.

With Forex market risks pushed to the extreme and a star-studded cast on screen, do you think Kurumi will recover her mother’s money or end up suffering total bankruptcy in the attempt?
