I am also a big fan of Japanese manga so this is one of the stories that has been suggested to me time and time again. (And most mangas are free, anyway!) There is a great ipad app that lists them ALL. Any good one imaginable is listed on it to read, for free!<br /><br />I really need to start reading this one, ASAP!Allisonhttp://www.wellreadreviews.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521348297206014365.post-40655713639355150372012-06-09T21:00:04.912-05:002012-06-09T21:00:04.912-05:00I love Battle Royale too, for years now.

I just took it down from my bookshelf and realized how much I've forgotten... of course some scenes like the lighthouse stand out, especially if you see the movie; kind of like the rat scare torture in 1984 (shudder.) I'm so glad you reviewed it! I was so excited when I saw you were reading it. <br /><br />Shogo definitively made the biggest impact on me... now he, he was tragic. And Chigusa. And that girl who met up w/ her bf who flipped out on her and was almost going to kill her but then was going to make up and of course, Mitsuko steps in, the cold-as-Antarctica killer. I just have a lot of feelings for this book.<br /><br />PS. The movie is ok.

I have seen this compared to The Hunger Games plenty of times, and so I also want to read it so that I can see what it's like for myself.
