Battle Royale is a Japanese novel written by Koushun Takami. The story takes place in a dystopian future where a class of junior high school students is forced to participate in a government-sanctioned battle to the death.
The students are taken to a remote island, given weapons, and forced to kill each other until only one survivor remains. The game is broadcasted on television as a form of entertainment for the masses.
The protagonist of the story is Shuya Nanahara, a student who tries to resist the rules of the game and protect his classmates from harm. As the violence escalates, alliances are formed and betrayals occur.
Battle Royale explores themes of survival, friendship, and the corrupting influence of power. The novel has been adapted into a successful manga series, as well as a controversial film that has gained a cult following.
