Battle Royale Franchise Gets New Battle Royale III: Enforcers Manga
posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
The February issue of Yukai Asada is drawing the manga.
The manga's numbering in the title implies continuity with the previous Battle Royale: Angels' Border ran in Young Champion in 2010.
The original 1999 novel followed a class of junior high school students who are forced to play a deadly game. On a deserted island, they must hunt each other down, and the last student left alive wins. The novel inspired two live-action films that have earned cult popularity, and the original novel's title is now often used to describe similar stories by other creators centering on characters pitted into brutal last-man-standing death games.
Tokyopop published 15 volumes of Taguchi's manga version in North America.
