  • Battle Royale (Japanese: バトル・ロワイアル, Hepburn: Batoru Rowaiaru) is a Japanese seinen manga series written by Koushun Takami and illustrated by Masayuki Taguchi. It is based on Takami's novel of the same name, telling the story of a class of junior high school children who are forced to fight each other to the death. It was serialized by Akita Shoten in Young Champion from 2000 to 2005, and later combined into 15 tankobon volumes, which were released in English by Tokyopop from 2003 to 2006. In October 2007, a special edition of the manga began being released. The manga follows the plot of the novel fairly closely, but expands on the backstory of each of the students. Much like the plots of the novel and film adaptation, the manga is noted for its intense and gory violence. The Tokyopop English adaptation of the manga makes several changes to the plot, such as claiming that "[The] Program" is a reality TV show and changing the time setting of the story by almost 10 years; both changes are contradicted in later volumes.

También existe una secuela del manga llamada Battle Royale II: Blitz Royale. En octubre de 2007 fue lanzada una edición especial del manga. El manga sigue el desarrollo de la novela alejándose un poco de la trama, pero expandiéndola un poco más en cuanto la vida de cada uno de los estudiantes. También es más explícita en cuanto a temas sexuales que en la novela y en la película. El manga se desarrolla mostrando la vida de siete estudiantes específicamente: el justiciero Shuya Nanahara, la amable y cariñosa Noriko Nakagawa, el duro veterano Shogo Kawada, el hacker deportista Shinji Mimura, el tímido maestro del kung fu Hiroki Sugimura, la problemática Mitsuko Souma, y finalmente el frío y despiadado Kazuo Kiriyama.
