Having seen the film I was very intrigued to see how the story would be told in manga format. I wasn't disappointed!
This manga is very graphic with a lot of violent scenes.
There are a lot of characters introduced very quickly, so it can be hard to keep track of them at first. It helps that they are all very stereotypical though, so even if you can't remember their names you know that's the martial artist, that's the gang member, etc.
I really enjoyed this manga and raced through it. I would love to read the next one to find out what happens next!

This was really good- violent, rapey, and awful, but really good. The only part that made me really uncomfortable was the story tagged on at the end about Mitsuko and "I'm only fifteen." Shudder. Really creepy to me.

This is an excellent example of a dystopia for one. But it is also a great story. Take the best of Lord of the Flies, 1984, The Running Man (King's story, not necessarily the film), and add some more violence, sex, and suspense, and you get this story. It grips you from the beginning, and it does not let you go until the last page. I will definitely continue reading this series. This collector's edition offers some extras in terms of an interview with the author, a short essay by a psychologist, and extra sketches. This is definitely not for little kids, but for adults who like a good adventure with suspense and shootings and so on, this is highly recommended. 42 ninth graders go in, and only one will survive.
I used to joke around that the show "Survivor" was not violent enough. I always joked that the show should be give the participants weapons, let them kill each other, and one walks out. This series is kind of how I envisioned that dumb reality show should have been, only on steroids, so to speak. Great series, and one I will gladly follow.

Wow, the plot is pretty similar to the Hunger Games, but it's far more brutal. Still, I couldn't put it down, though some of the imagery was downright grotesque. Sure does pack a visceral punch though and I will absolutely be reading the rest of the series to see where it goes. Fascinating.
