		It went on to become a bestseller when finally released in 1999, and a year later, was made into a manga (additional info and facts about manga) and a feature film.

	Encyclopedia: Koushun Takami (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Co-written by Koushun Takami, author of the original novel on which the movie was based, the manga sticks much closer to the plot of the book than the film version does.
		Takami takes more time to explore the backgrounds and motivations of the lesser players in his large cast.
		Koushun Takami's notorious high-octane thriller is based on an irresistible premise: a class of junior high school students is taken to a desterded island where, as part of a ruthless authoritarian program, the are provided arms and forced to kill one another until only one survivor is left standing.

		Koushun Takami's notorious high-octane thriller is based on an irresistible premise: a class of junior high school students is taken to a deserted island where, as part of a ruthless authoritarian program, they are provided arms and forced to kill one another until only one survivor is left standing.
		Criticized as violent exploitation when first published in Japan, where it then proceeded to become a runaway bestseller, Battle Royale is a Lord of the Flies for the 21st century, a potent allegory of what it means to be young and (barely) alive in a dog-eat-dog world.
		Koushun Takami named the student's home town Shiroiwa which translate to english as "Castle Rock".

	Battle Royale, Book 2 - Koushun Takami Masayuki Taguchi
		Sure, you can't fit as much information on a comic page as you can a page in a novel, but almost tripling the length really gives Takami the chance to flesh some things out that were only hinted at or briefly mentioned in the book.
		Also, in relation to that, Takami spends more time explaining on why the people who force Shuya into fighting act the way they do as well.
		Another scene that I think benifits greatly from the new telling is the scene where the two lovers commit suicide to avoid having to fight and to avoid losing each other.

	Battle Royale (Battle Royale) - Koushun Takami
		The first novel by small-town journalist Koushun Takami, it went on to become an even more notorious film by 70-year-old gangster director Kinji Fukusaku.
		Unfortunately, Koushun Takami blows these opportunities fairly consistently.
		It doesn't help that the book often reads as if it were written by a junior-high student, though it's not clear how much responsibility for this lies with Takami and how much with his translator.

	Periodic Diversions: Book Review: Battle Royale (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Having said that, I highly recommend Koushun Takami’s highly controversial first novel, Battle Royale.
		Take away the poor writing, lack of originality and the pervading gore-factor and you are left with William Golding’s The Lord of the Flies.
		The translation is a little off, but the story is the same and the emotions that Takami tries to bring out are still the same.

		Book Summary : Battle Royale (Battle Royale) by Koushun Takami
		Customer Book Summary: Having just read "Battle Royale" last week, I can assure you that it is not the deep, thought-provoking classic novel that some Amazon reviewers have made it out to be.
		Its comedy (intentional or otherwise), violence, simplistic (but oddly charming) attempts at social commentary, and overall ridiculousness and implausibility make it a must if you're looking for a fun read.
