About the author
Koushun Takami
99 books1,597 followersKoushun Takami (高見 広春 Takami Kōshun) is the author of the novel Battle Royale, originally published in Japanese, and later translated into English by Yuji Oniki and published by Viz Media and, later, in an expanded edition by Haika Soru, a division of Viz Media.
Takami was born in Amagasaki, Hyōgo Prefecture near Osaka and grew up in the Kagawa Prefecture of Shikoku. After graduating from Osaka University with a degree in literature, he dropped out of Nihon University's liberal arts correspondence course program. From 1991 to 1996, he worked for the news company Shikoku Shimbun, reporting on various fields including politics, police reports, and economics.
The novel Battle Royale was completed after Takami left the news company. It was rejected in the final round of the literary competition for which it was intended, owing to its controversial content. It went on to become a bestseller when finally released in 1999 and, a year later, was made into a manga and a feature film.
He is currently working on a second novel.

Weiterhin spannend, grausam und emotional

Se da una de las batallas claves, como siempre con unas ilustraciones y unos planos monstruosos de Taguchi repletos de gore y violencia. Realmente hay un manejo del timing de las peleas y las muertes que es finísimo. Lo que no funciona tan bien es el recurso contaste del flashback, una y otra vez las misma escenas repetidas mil veces para intentar de subirle dramatismo a lo que pasa, como Sugimura recordando 30 veces el mismo momento en que se encontró con Nanahara, dale hermano, ya se entendió, no me lo repitas en todos los capítulos. Pero bueno, igual sigue siendo muy divertido.
