Just started on Battle Royale, the original book (well, translated to English), and man is it awesome!

It seems to be a lot more like the manga than the movie, which misses out on a lot of story, and several of the characters are quite different. However, I really enjoyed the movie adaptation's version of the teacher, "Kitano-sensei," and besides that it's worth watching (for those of you who haven't).

Hm, I wonder who would be the last man standing if the DN held a battle royale?

For those interested, though, if you like manga I'd suggest reading it (mainly because it's free and easy to find online, though I should warn of the childish illustrations of the characters, a strong contrast to the sinister atmosphere of the story), unless you have access to a copy of the novel you can read, or if you don't mind spending money on awesome books. In any case, if you liked the movie, read the book!
