Have you read...
Koushun Takami's notorious high-octane thriller is based on an irresistible premise: a class of junior high school students is taken to a deserted island where, as part of a ruthless authoritarian program, they are provided arms and forced to kill one another until only one survivor is left standing. Criticized as violent exploitation when first published in Japan - where it then proceeded to become a runaway bestseller - Battle Royale is a Lord of the Flies for the 21st century, a potent allegory of what it means to be young and (barely) alive in a dog-eat-dog world. Made into a controversial hit movie of the same name, Battle Royale is already a contemporary Japanese pulp classic, now available for the first time in the English language.

“Even if it’s a lie, even if it’s a dream, please turn to me. Your smile on a certain day isn’t a lie, it’s not a dream. But having it turn to me might be my lie, my dream. But the day you call my name, it won’t be a lie, it won’t be a dream.”[…] “It’s never been a lie, it’s never been a dream that I love you.”
Battle Royale by Koushun Takami

Eh, might as well post some of my old art here. This one is way over a year old, I’m just really bad at using social media productively :D
Shuuya having nam flashbacks to the only kill he committed with full intent.
I made this one in Gimp. It’s really not that bad for learning how to draw digital.
