Having narrowly escaped their encounter with the brutal Kazuo, Shuuya and Hiroki tend to their injuries while other players take center stage. Shinji Mimura and Yutaka Sato have quietly assembled a bomb for the express purpose of destroying the "school" that serves as The Program's command center. Everything is in place, all they need do is deliver it, but in the world of Battle Royale, nothing is ever so simple. An encounter with another classmate causes Yutaka to question his trust in Shinji, but the real trouble arrives in the form of one Kazuo Kiriyama. Having lost Shuuya and Hiroki, Class B's most feared student is angry and frustrated, a dangerous combination for a man with a machine gun. With the element of surprise on his side, Shinji and Yutaka have little chance of seeing the morning, but maybe, with a little luck, they can take the murderous Kazuo with them.

Quite Good, But a Little Dragged Out,
This review is from: Battle Royale Vol. 7 (Paperback)
At the end of volume 6, we find that Boy #2, Keita Iijima, has finally found boy #19, Shinji Mimura, and Boy #12, Yutaka Sato.
We then flash back to one of Shinji's previous experiences with Keita. After he lost at an arcade game, he went to buy them drinks as part of a deal. Shortly after, Shinji gets into a fight. Keita comes back and witnesses the fight, but hides. Unfortunately, Shinji saw him. Ever since then, Shini could never trust Keita. Yutaka wants Keita to join them, but Shinji doesn't trust him. This little quarrel may actually turn deadly and threaten Shinji's plan to blow up the school. in conclusion, this was a pretty satisflying volume. Some moments may be dragged out, but it only adds to the suspense. Not my favorite volume, but an exciting action-packed installment nonetheless.

KILL ME ALREADY!,
By Sesho "www.sesho.libsyn.com" (Pasadena, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Battle Royale Vol. 7 (Paperback)
Well, this has got to be worst volume of Battle Royale that I have read so far. Except for a degraded and so pornographic that it became comedy Mitsuko spotlight tale a few volumes back, this series has prided itself on realistic human reactions to a horrible situation. But Volume 7 has one of the funniest and longest death scenes this side of Monty Python and the Holy Grail when Arthur and the Black Knight battle in an absurd dismemberment dance of comedic bloodsport. Some of the characters in this volume are hit with upwards of 20 bullets and yet still manage to gasp a "Win one for the Gipper" speech, even as their entrails are falling out. It's pretty pathetic. This entire volume consists of Shinji and Yutaka coming across a cowardly classmate and the repercussions that occur because Shinji does not want to let him join their plan because of an old grudge. This volume was terrible. Battle Royale needs to go back to characterization and a little more realism before it implodes with camp.
