Battle Royale is a manga series that serves as an adaptation of a Japanese novel that has also been made into a movie.

The basic plot is every so often, a random class of ninth graders are selected for 'The Program'. The class in the stroy are taken to an island and force to kill each other until only one surviver remains.

As of yet I only have the first 4 volumes of the manga and I must say. It puts the graphic in graphic novel.

Anyone else into it?

Battle Royale by Koushun Takami. The manga is simply an adaptation.

No, she died of bullet wounds. I think you are thinking of Aki Meada.

The are abducted by the government and fitted with explosive colars. If a solid 24 hour period passes with no fatalities all the remaining colars explode.
