As a psychologist, I adore this story, much as it disturbs me. The students' myriad reactions to being forced to fight to the death, the backstories abotu why they make the choices they do... the blood/porn aspects aren't really what got me into it, though i'm sure a few will say otherwise
Favourite character: Sugimura. So fit, so awesome, and such a sweetie ♥
Least favourite character: Oda. Absolutely repulsive little toad. Kiriyama is pure nightmare fuel, to say nothing of Mitsuko- and, arguably worse, her flashbacks- but their psychology is too fascinating for me to hate them. Oda's just a repulsive little walking ego.
Anyone else ever wondered what would happen if their class had to play The Game? Who would play? Who might kill you? Who might you kill? Who could you trust? I swear, Battle Royale breeds paranoia like crazy, but in-universe, I suppose that's kinda the point.
