A story which uses incorporates a competitive event as a primary component of the story line, but which is not of a martial-arts or violent nature. While both being cooking based series, Yakitate!! Japan and Chuuka Ichiban are good examples of this genre.

 Kaiji |
Itou Kaiji is a bum who steals car emblems and slashes tires on what seems to be a regular basis. This routine changes one day when he is paid a visit by a man in a trench-coat. Once the two get talking, it seems that the visitor (Calling himself Endou) is a debt collector. The reason for his visit is an unpaid loan which kaiji had previously co-signed for a work-mate (Furuhata Takeshi). The original loan was 30000 yen and once Takeshi had disappeared, the loan then fell on Kaiji. |
