Battle Royale, Finally Back in Print! – Deluxe Edition Review

In this video, I take a close look at the new Battle Royale Deluxe Edition manga from Yen Press and break down how it compares to the older Tokyopop releases, including the paperback singles and the hardcover Ultimate Editions.

I go over format and size, build and paper quality, print quality, design, translation and lettering, and overall value, especially for collectors deciding whether the Deluxe Edition is worth picking up. I also talk about pricing, availability, and who each edition makes the most sense for.

If you’re a longtime fan of Battle Royale or you’re just getting into the manga for the first time, this review should help you decide the best way to own the series now that it’s back on shelves.
