{{Nihongo|'''''Zeni Geba'''''|銭ゲバ}} is a Japanese [[manga]] series written and illustrated by [[George Akiyama]]. The series was originally serialized in ''[[Weekly Shōnen Sunday]]'' from 1970 to 1971. ''Shōnen Sunday'' was once specified as "harmful" in some prefectures when the series has started, because of its violent and drastic depiction.<ref>{{
The story was about a boy named {{Nihongo|Fūtarō Gamagōri|蒲郡風太郎}} who lived in extreme [[poverty]], who gained affluence and influence through a series of murders.<br />
''Zeni'' means money in Japanese and ''Geba'' means die Gewalt (power) in German, so the title can be translated into "Moneypower".
The series was dramatized into a [[TV drama|TV series]] in 2009, and was aired from January to March by the [[Nippon News Network|NNN TVs]] in Japan, starring [[Kenichi Matsuyama]]. The original story was released shortly after when [[Student activism]] was on in Japan and thus reflected such historical backgrounds as represented in its use of the word {{nihongo|ゲバ|geba}} in the title. The background of the TV series, on the other hand, was adjusted to reflect the 2009 world, including positioning of the main character as {{nihongo|a temp worker|派遣社員|haken shain}} working at a factory.<ref>{{
