The winner will be taken care of financial for the rest of their lives, but only after stabbing/shooting/maiming their classmates to survive. Once a year, 50 middle school students from one class are drugged, fitted with explosive collars, and placed on an island to fight to the death. Koushun Takami’s Battle Royale takes place in a vague future dystopia set in the Republic of Greater East Asia, which could be reasonably taken as Japan.
That being said, my friends ‘in the know’ have always tipped me off to the charms of Battle Royale, so this new edition seemed like a great time to check it out and finally take in the classic. Even though any ‘real’ science fiction fan will tell you that Battle Royale: Remastered is the original, I’m going to have to go full disclosure and say that I’ve seen and read Hunger Games first.
