It was serialized in [[Shueisha]]'s [[Shōnen manga|{{Transliteration|ja|shōnen}} manga]] magazine ''[[Weekly Shōnen Jump]]'' between September 1996 and March 2004, with its chapters collected in 38 {{Transliteration|ja|[[tankōbon]]}} volumes. The series follows [[Yugi Mutou]], a teenager who solves the ancient Millennium Puzzle. Yugi becomes host to a gambling alter-ego or spirit who solves his conflicts with various games. As the manga progresses, the focus largely shifts to the [[card game]] ''Duel Monsters'' (originally known as ''Magic & Wizards''), where opposing players "duel" one another in mock battles of fantasy monsters. The manga series has spawned a [[media franchise]] that includes multiple spin-off manga, [[anime]] series, video games, and a real-world card game, the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game|''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' Trading Card Game]], based on the fictional ''Duel Monsters'' game. The first anime series adaptation, simply titled ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (1998 TV series)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' and produced by [[Toei Animation]], aired from April to October 1998, while the second one, ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters]]'', produced by [[Nihon Ad Systems|NAS]] and animated by [[Gallop (studio)|Gallop]], aired from April 2000 to September 2004. ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' has become one of the [[List of highest-grossing media franchises|highest-grossing media franchises]] of all time.
