Probably the best manga I've ever read. The only thing that puts me off buying the Battle Royale series is the graphic nature of the comic - nevertheless, the story is captivating, the artwork fantastic and it leaves you hungry for more. ( )

Horror, Pulp ( )

Having read the original novel, I was surprised to see how the manga delved more in the backgrounds of the characters then it did. It did, however, ratchet up the level of gore and sex though I don't think that took away too much from the storyline. ( )
