Battle Royale
SO the last few days I've been an emotional wreck. why? mainly because of the subject title. Now BR is a series of which I love the live-action movie. Not because of the violence but because of the social-political messages that it conveys.

SO recently I heard the manga's ending was different and decided to read it. Well never in my life did I expect the manga to be so much more confronting then the film. I actually felt nauseated (SP?) for a good portion of the series, but just wanted to bring myself to finish it. By the end I was an emotional wreck. Rather then looking at the social-political side like the film, the manga focuses a lot more on character development and shows the past of almost every character.

ANyway because of this I couldn't help getting attached to many of the characters including the extremely psychotic ones as the usually had the worse past. And thus when a character was killed of I was constantly sad and almost on the verge of tears. I mean 42 kids (40 if you don't include the 2 least developed characters) is a lot to get emotionally attached to. By the end of the series however I couldn't help but cry even if Noriko and Shuu got away it's still extremely sad.
