Battle Royale

バトル・ロワイアル

In an authoritarian Japan known as the Republic of Greater East Asia, a class of junior-high students on a school trip is gassed and shipped to a deserted island for a government program: each is given a random weapon and ordered to kill one another until a single survivor remains, with explosive collars guaranteeing no one stalls. Shuya Nanahara refuses to play along and tries to keep Noriko Nakagawa alive, aided by transfer student Shogo Kawada, who has survived the program before. Masayuki Taguchi draws the manga from Koushun Takami's novel.
