Косюн Таками - циклы книг | Бумажные издания

After their initial plan to take down The Program fails, Shinji Mimura and Yutaka Sato put their backup plan in motion. Having located all the supplies necessary to put together a crude bomb, the pair are all set to deliver their package right where it will do the most damage...the "school" which serves as The Program control center. The only problem is that the school is in a permanent danger zone. Shinji believes he's found a way around this. Or more specifically, above this. Meanwhile, Sho Tsukioka has never been what you would call a "normal" 9th grader. Flamboyantly gay, and damn proud of it, he believes the key to surviving The Program is to tail its likely winner, Kazuo. Kazuo, however, may have other plans. Finally, in what may be the most blackly comic Battle Royale vignette yet, Hiro Shimizu has seen her best friend turn on her, her other best friend murdered, and has now taken a bullet herself. While her wound may not be lethal, her bad luck, it would appear, just might be.

You cannot fight what you cannot see. You cannot kill someone who is dead on the inside. It is the defiantly human animal that is forced to kill without purpose....When Sugimura realizes that he can't beat Kiriyama, he turns to protecting Kotohiki

Only five students remain out of the original 42 who began this latest episode of The Program. Kazuo and Mitsuko, the two biggest psychos who have racked up the highest body counts between them on the island, finally meet face to face. Full color. Rated for older teens.

Shuuya is alive, and being nurtured back to health by another group which has also joined forces to escape. This group consists only of girls and they've taken up residence in the island's lighthouse. Meanwhile, Sugimura continues his search to find Kayoko but meets up with Kiriyama again. At the lighthouse, all hope turns to despair as Yuko's paranoia makes her believe Shuuya is the Devil. Yuko's attempt to kill Shuuya fails but it ends up turning the girls against each other.

Sugimura meets up with Kotohiki. Sugimura's excitement leads him to forget what the situation was, and how dangerous it still is. Sugimura and Kotohiki exchange a few words, as they head toward Shuuya's group. He expresses his emotions and his feeling of powerlessness against Kiriyama. Unfortunately, Kiriyama catches up to them, and Sugimura has to fight him in order to protect Kotohiki. As he tries to fight him, he again feels it's meaningless to try to defeat the monster Kiriyama.

In the most provocative volume of "Battle Royale" to date, the sinister and sinful Mitsuko Souma comes into focus. Widely accepted as the only female in Class B, with a shot at winning "The Program", Mitsuko has already eliminated four of her classmates. One of them was Takako Chigusa, close friend and companion to Hiroki Sugimura. The honorable martial artist isn't one to give in to the desire for vengeance, but the horror of "The Program" is enough to bring even the strongest of beliefs into question. When Hiroki finds himself confronted by Takako's murderer - by Takako's unarmed murderer - all his sadness, fear and rage nearly manifest themselves in one squeeze of the trigger. Meanwhile, when Yuichiro Takiguchi runs into his close friend Tadakatsu Hatagami, the two decide to team up, believing that if you can't trust your friends, the game's as good as over. But, there's nothing like a woman for creating mistrust between buddies, particularly when that woman is Mitsuko Souma. Playing one off of the other, Mitsuko's sure that she can come out ahead, and bring herself that much closer to winning "The Program" in the process. However, this pair may present a greater challenge than even Mitsuko's prepared for. She can handle men who want to kill her. She can handle men who want to rape her. But, men who genuinely want to help her? She wasn't prepared for that, and it's going to cost her a trip down memory lane. And, when your closet is as full of skeletons as Mitsuko, that's one terrifying trip. Will it be enough to put her over the edge? Featuring some of the most graphic and explicit art of the series, and dealing with some seriously dark subject matter, this volume of "Battle Royale" will rattle you to your core, and haunt you long after you've turned the final page.

Having narrowly escaped their encounter with the brutal Kazuo, Shuuya and Hiroki tend to their injuries while other players take center stage. Shinji Mimura and Yutaka Sato have quietly assembled a bomb for the express purpose of destroying the "school" that serves as The Program's command center. Everything is in place, all they need do is deliver it, but in the world of Battle Royale, nothing is ever so simple. An encounter with another classmate causes Yutaka to question his trust in Shinji, but the real trouble arrives in the form of one Kazuo Kiriyama. Having lost Shuuya and Hiroki, Class B's most feared student is angry and frustrated, a dangerous combination for a man with a machine gun. With the element of surprise on his side, Shinji and Yutaka have little chance of seeing the morning, but maybe, with a little luck, they can take the murderous Kazuo with them.

Yuko has trouble coping with the deaths of her friends, while Shuyya must come to terms with his failure to save the girls that rescued him.

Shuuya, Kawada, and Noriko fight for their lives against Kiriyama, the psychotic student who decimated most of their class. While Kiriyama strives to eradicate the other kids' futures, we get an insider's view of Kiriyama's past... and what forces shaped this bright, talented young man into the unfeeling killer he is today.
