Battle Royale is more than just a manga filled with gore and violence.Although that may be what it seems when you take first glance at the cover.This manga is one of those manga's that you can read over and over again without ever getting tired of the storyline.
Basically,The story is about a class of pupils going on A "school Trip" which they soon find out is a game made by mthe government.In this game you have to kill or be killed.They all must kill one another until there is only one left alive.Although this may seem plain,there is always some sort of twist.Its a real page turner.The great thing about this manga is that it dosnt just focus on one person throughout the entire series.They go into detail about everyone's past and almost every character has some sort of secret or some sort of "trauma" within their past.
The entire series of Battle Royal consists of 15 manga's.Although this may seem short for a series,whilst reading the manga it feels like so much longer =]
If you are going to watch the Battle Royal movie,I advise you watch it first to prevent disappointment.After readin the manga,I personally think that the movie was a bit of a let down.Scenes were changed,some were left out or didnt run on for long enough,and the movie was a bit short to fit everything in.Also leaving out characters pasts and such =/ But If you have already watched the movie and given up hope on the manga,think again.It Is well worth the read =D
For those less fortunate and unable to have the money to buy the manga at the moment.Please visit these sites to read Battle Royal =]

Also,After a lot of looking,I have managed to find Battle Royal II Blitz Battle =] Since Battle Royal is an adult manga,I would advise that younger manga readers read this manga instead.I have only managed to read the first volume but it seems good,Although it wouldnt include the same thrills as the original manga,but is probobly a less violent and less revealing manga =] oh and once again if you want to read this manga online(make sure to buy it if you like it) I can only find a site that only has the first manga available =[ enjoy reading anyway =D
