rarnom Wrote:Battle Royale is a book that you can get (translated by VIZ), 600+ pages. It is about a government program that puts 42 fifteen yearolds (9th graders) on a small island, arms them with different weapons, and they are forced to kill each other. The last one standing wins. The book is AMAZING. I have recommended it before on this site and actually have ranted in the rants section about how much I hate the film.
It is a manga, and I like the manga, but at times it does go waaay overboard with the sex, cussing and violence. The translation is not the best, but it is still quite consistent with the book.
I thought that was it from reading a review from another site about the movie. The concept is very sick but at the same time it is a true represensation of the modern worlds truths. I myself havent read it only heard of the film till now but I guess I will have to check it out sometime. BTW who is the author exactly and how much does it cost?
