This digital ARC was obtainable via NetGalley for an honest review.

In my late teens I was a tiny bit obsessed with "Battle Royale" for whatever reason (it was a very short phase). When I saw "Battle Royale: Enforcers, Vol 1" I had to check it out. The dialogue was a bit shallow, and the characters were okay. I was not connected to any of the students, but I do wonder how they will survive. I will keep a look out for volume 2.

As someone who has read the original novel, I can say this series does a nice job of keeping what made the original story work, while changing a few things up. In this, the unfortunate class is divided into teams from the start, leading to interesting group dynamics. This is still a Battle Royale universe so gore and death are to be expected. If you like this sort of story, give it a chance!

I really liked this manga. I love the original Battle Royale book, so being able to read more content from the universe is something I am always looking forward to. I love how this book brings more to the table while also respecting the original canon
