Title: A complete bastardization of a good story
Review: Being a big fan of the movie, I decided to pick up the first 3 mangas in the series after hearing how good it was. I was, and still am, a rabid fan of Battle Royale, it's one of the greatest films ever made. However, I was completely baffled with how bad this manga was. They completely ruined the story, thus making it hard to follow. They added the "game show" element which makes it totally cheesy. Art wise it's not bad, but that's the only reason it is getting two stars and not one. They made Nanahara annoying as hell, Noriko a whiny little bitch who always disputes everything, and Kitano WAY over the top. In the movie (and the novel), he's a real stone cold scary teacher, there's not much about him but yet there's something about him that makes him scary. Here, he's like Stewie Griffin from Family guy.Overall avoid this. This manga is so bad it plays out like a BR parody.
