Try the book that started it all. It's better than the movie and the manga put together. The story is a bit different, but they have the time to get inside the characters' heads about what's happening to them and what they're going to do about it. The characterization is fantastic.

Yeah, the characters were fairly well developed and interesting for the type of movie that it is. And c'mon you gotta love Chiaka Kuriyama! Beat Takeshi is cool in it as well.
B/R also shows a darker side of human nature, and poses the question how far people will go to survive. So it's interesting to see friend betraying each other, etc.
