Provided you can kill your classmates who will have the same intention of surviving, if not outright winning!So let's dive into this work and see who survives. And see why the Hunger Games has been called a blatant rip-off of this series and how it helped influence and spawn the korean show Squid Games!
Little bit of a warning. Scans ain't bad but ain't good either. And it's the Tokyopop translations, so it'll be downright weird with the isms and language.

Putting this behind a spoiler. Dunno how trigger happy mods can be with this thing.
Chapter 3
>>286154848I'll read along later.
>>286156422Thank you for posting.
Kinda edgy so far
>>286156521It only gets edgier.
>>286154882>tokyopoop versionMan, why hasn't this be retransed?
>>286156632What's there is there. And many others won't translate to something proper
Mimura with the save.
The movie is one of my all time favorites.
>>286156697I still prefer manga Kiriyama.
Chapter 4
>he laughed
Like in any total authoritarian government, the guy in charge must have skills.
>>286156632The recent Yen Press release has a new translation, but it looks like it hasn't been ripped yet.
>>286157161Well that's news to me. Hope it's "better" than this one.
>>286154848This was the first manga I ever read.Randomly found it at the library as a tyke. Name seemed cool, the blurb said it was special as a rare Japanese adult comic, and I was always curious. Then got basically flashbanged with the kid having his brains splattered in the first/second chapter. Big moment for a small child. Had to happen to a lot of kids. Back then most clerks had no idea what to do with manga and comix in general.
Chapter 5>>286157273I think that's the general concensus with most early manga. Had a bookstore guy once a upon a time call manga "just some kiddie shit for teens". Never looked into them and barely read any of the marvel and dc comics either. Just sold what he got his hands on.
One thing about this translation i like is it tries to make the dialogue human sounding and not just a flat translation, but all the made up bullshit about it sucks so bad dude>>286157273Lol, was your heart racing? I remember seeing brutal shit as a kid and had that same feeling
>>286157558It had to have been racing. I was looking at premium contraband that I knew I shouldn't be seeing. What could have been better for a kid?
>>286157558The biggest one here is the year and time discrepency as this goes on. Another thing is the guy doing the translations is actually a comic book writer, had to look him up. Kudos to him for trying to keep it lively but man, if you weren't english speaking, born murrican it's gunna sound rough. Heard miles of complaints from ESL's who couldn't understand and wanted "proper english".
Chapter 6
>>286155568>>286155588He has good instincts he should survive for long me thinks
>>286157660It is genuinely funny that there's an entire community of non-native English speakers that have learned most of their English through clunky manga translations and now solely speak the language via that dialect to the point that naturalistic English is confusing to them. Hell, given that a lot of the manga that they learned English through were themselves TL'd by ESLs, it is a Blind Leading the Blind scenario.
>tnj failed
>>286158225Makes sense. In the manga Beck Mongolian Chop Squad, they make a point in that. The guy who gets the MC to sing in a band was japanese but wasn't taught the language as he was murrican bound (I think). He learned the language from comics and baby books and people talking with him.
>>286154999Wonder who the dude in the show was meant to be. Kinda looks like Guyver, but not fully.
>>286158472Actually, there was a storytime for that specific guy there. https://desuarchive.org/a/search/subject/%20Kakugo%20no%20Susume/
>>286158533Thanks for the link.
Chapter 7>>286158599Aye.
>>286155245He's a responsible young man!
Chapter 8
>>286154848is this the new translations?
>>286159121No these are the very old, official ones.
Surprise daddy!The faces in this manga man.
>>286158055>>286158084Ballsy
What a goddamned bitch. Even slut and whore are tame tags to what she is.
Aaaand done! Danke fer comin'!Girls and boys killed left and right, and the game has only just begun. To the first timers, how's yer first impressions?
>>286159698Thanks OPWay too edgy so far lets see if the story can carry from the next volumes
>>28615960037 left
>>286159698>To the first timers, how's yer first impressions?Nice art premise and hopefully a good story too, I'm sold, rooting for the delinquent and the karate kid although i wouldn't be suprised if the story ends with 2 survivors with one of them having to kys so the other survives, i reckon it'll be realistic like that, but I'm rooting for the MC to pull a GAI and overthrow the program
>>286159753It only gets edgier. >>286159774I dunno why the first volume doesn't have a roster of those already eliminated when the next volume and beyond has it.
>>286154882>it's the Tokyopop translationsIs that the official translation? I heard the official release had a lot of translation problems.
>>286159869>It only gets edgier.well lets hope that it is used in some meaningful way and not just shock value
Thanks for posting still.
>>286154848I am honestly glad I never bothered with the English version of this. Most of the text is made up by the way.
>>286155404There's nothing wrong with a proud whore. She better have a big bush behind those panties, though.
>>286154958Why is she lifting her skirt and why is the guy aiming at her cunt?
>>286158618I love when these series give maps so i can track everything like a little data gnome
>>286155475Give that boy a good old french tickler.
>>286158472>>286158533I forgot about Kakugo no Susume. My first thought was Getter.
>>286155245Hope he wins
>>286154999Zero jumpscare
>>286155568>>286155588Smart delinquents are the best.
>>286155318Fucking Bruce Lee over here.
>>286155690A true alpha male ugly bastard.
>>286155734I got my bets on the absurdly handsome yankee
>>286157893Fucking camper
>>286156178Perks of being a Party member. There's always a party for your member.
>>286156368>>286156609>wasting the students before the showThis guys head should be on the chopping block for that.
>>286155568I thought it's the cookie.
>>286154848Why not the new translations? I'm pretty sure I got brain damage from these ones.
>>286155713>"get off on it"I really can't get away from Keng/a/n...
>>286155734I'm betting on that guy wearing lipstick and pompadour.
>>286155245best boy
>>286155897>none are exempt>but this program is only for middle schoolers
>>286156662>>286156742What an absolute chad.
Man I have the full physical set of this manga, I got it a really long time ago and I've not read it in a long time.It was nice seeing it again
>>286155021hideously ugly eyes
>>286156609This guy is drunk on power. I'd immediately get a replacement. Then again, it might be hard to find someone twisted enough to do the job.
>>286157006Crazy skill there.
>>286155690That's no Beat Takeshi.
>>286157006Surprisingly deft throwing skill.
>>286157273Kek and my first manga was Doraemon.
>>286157513Sounds like a good way to sack the program's rating out of spite.
>>286159079Can anyone translate this to zoomerspeak?
>>286158533She can run?! Impressive.
>>286155734The martial artist is going to job in a humiliating way, isn't he?
>>286158975>once we're...Don't say that, it's a giant flag.
>>286159698Thanks for posting OP, stay frosty
>>286159259Jesus H. Christ, that made me jump.
>>286159437She fell for it.
>>286158442spawn camping is crazy, but i guess it works
>>286159698Thanks for dumping.>To the first timers, how's yer first impressions?Didn't expect the friend to get killed on the get go since those types usually survived for a long time. It's alright so far.
>>286157893King of the Hill.
>>286158442Incel rage.
>>286159698thx for dumping. high school edgelord me wouldve loved this. now? it strikes me as a manga teenagers read to fap to gore.im expecting mc to do a hunger games
>>286155245Best boy IndeedDied a hero
>>286162695Anon, spoiler that shit.
I’ve never considered Battle Royale to be appropriate enough to dump the manga, so I’ve been experimenting with AI to color panels lately.As expected, it’s been shit.
