遊☆戯☆王 R [Yūgiō Āru / Yu-Gi-Oh! R]

A spin-off manga serialized by Shueisha from 2005 to 2008, Yu-Gi-Oh! R unfolds across five issues as a direct sequel to the original Yu-Gi-Oh! storyline. The series pits Yugi Mutou and his friends against a new antagonist, Yako Tenma, a former student of Maximillion Pegasus who seeks revenge through a deadly card game. While not created by original author Kazuki Takahashi, it expands the Duel Monsters universe with a self-contained, high-stakes narrative that tests the bonds of friendship and strategy. For fans of the franchise, this compact run offers a focused, action-packed encore to the classic series.
