10th grader Yugi spent most of his time alone playing games–until he solved the Millennium Puzzle, a mysterious Egyptian artifact! Possessed by the puzzle, Yugi becomes Yu-Gi-Oh, the King of Games, and challenges evil-doers to the Shadow Games–weird games with high stakes and high risks! These graphic novels contain new stories not seen in the anime, including the origin of Yugi and his friends!

Notes: This is a section of the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series and contains the Duelist Kingdom and Battle City arcs. Originally just called Yu-Gi-Oh!, Viz renamed it to its current name.
