Battle royal is a manga series that grabs on and doesnt let go. It is dark but has humor. A lot of people compare it to the hunger games but this came first and is better. There is a lot of blood gore and nudity so make sure not to buy it for the kiddos but i cant recommend it enough for mature audiences.

the book came a few days early and is in great condition, however some of the pages have a gray film over then and it makes the images and words dull, it looks like a printing error, if that makes sense. it's still readable but i was hoping for at least the pages to be fine, i still recommend it however!

This is a must get. You have to snag this when they have copies because this is one of the most popular yet out of print manga there is. Especially the ultimate edition. If u can get the whole ultimate edition collection (all 5 volumes) you could sell them all for around $400.

Heavy yellowing, many stains on the exterior and pages including multiple sticky stains , last 150 pages are massively blurry to where it looks like you are squinting your eyes. Still a great story and happy to have it in my collection. But not sure about the price/quality ratio here.

I never heard of Battle Royale until a friend told me it was like Berserk. Let me just say the violence is on par with Berserk but not only is it violent! It is heartbreaking. It is hard to explain due the fact I am not good with words. It felt like a psychological book because you get attached to the characters and you can see them breaking down, stressing out, and just plain going berserk (no pun intended) because these students in the program have to kill each other. It also shows that each charter in the program has a dark history behind them. If you are a prude or can not stand violence then DO NOT READ THIS BOOK. Overall, I loved the book and if you want a deep manga to read that will make you tear up, then pick this up. :)

Came in perfect shape, the book is a beefy book too, as in width, I'm not sure how many pages but it's a good size and gave me a good time for writing it. This book is a bit more graphic than I expected, the blood and gore I saw coming and a bit of nudity but there are full on hentai (if you don't know what that is, Wikipedia it) scenes in here towards the end so I can't let my younger sibling get a hold of it but I guess that's okay, this is an 18+ book though.
Overall the story was good, I was happy with the liberties they took and I feel like the variation between the novel, movie, and now manga are all well diversified, I actually prefer it because it would be kind of boring if you knew everything that was going to happen. No complaints here.

Great start to an amazing story! If this series was still in print and wasnt so expensive i would recomend it to anyone, but sadly these volumes are really hard to find especially 4 and 5. Take this into account when purchesing ! BUT- The book is beautiful :D x

Great as always.

I've been a fan of Battle Royale since childhood. I collected all of the mangas and when I saw the ultimate edition I just had to have it. It's a great quality gigantic book that contains the best manga ever written... What more could I ask for? It's a good collectible item.
