I just finished reading Battle Royale by Koushun Takami, really really good. I have never seen the movie/s or have read the manga, but the book was uber good and I can't wait to get around to seeing the movie.

I have the first 7 volumes of the manga, and I'm hooked.  It is really violent and contains adult situations (hence the 18+ rating).  The story is really addictive and there is a ton of backstory for the characters.

I loved this novel. I am really very glad they translated it into english. The movie was great, I don't recommend the sequel. The manga is good too, I think it is definately more grim and hentai-riffic than the novel. So, readers beware of volumes 3 and 8 if your not into unnecessary sex (some of it doesn't really advance the plot, IMO). And just don't read it if you are squeamish. lol

lol, unnecessary sex.  Sounds intriguing.  Did they at least have it make sense with the plot?

It depends on who you ask.
I think the Bonus Chapter "Fallen Angel" was completely unnecessary but that's just me.  :?

No... I just think of it in a sense that it isn't needed to advance the story lol. And Yaoi, don't get me started. It's a gift from the mahou Yaoi faeries. XD
It just makes me think:
Where is the yaoi in BR?
It needs some, badly. lol

I'm still waiting for someone to write "Battle Royal: Unnessacery Sex: The Novel." Now that'd be worth a pulitzer.  :wink:
