Battle Royale manga is getting a new release and translation!

Yen Press has announced at Anime Expo that it has licensed the Battle Royale manga and will publish it with a new translation by Kevin Gifford. The first deluxe edition hardcover volume will be released on December 16, 2025!

This is huge news for fans of Battle Royale, as previously published by TokyoPop, has long been out of print and the translation (adapted by Keith Giffen) a controversial topic of criticism for unnecessary changes made to the original source.

Battle Royale is a Japanese manga series written by Koushun Takami and illustrated by Masayuki Taguchi. It is based on Koushun Takami's novel of the same name, telling the story of a class of junior high school children who are forced to fight each other to the death.

This might be my hottake but I feel like these two characters would've POPPED OFF in the fandom if more people had played Ranger. Or I'm just projecting because I had major crushes on Spenser and Tiffany as a kid and no one to talk to about it because no one else I know has played any of the Ranger games.

I mean c'mon this shit had me swooning

I've been doing a lot of thinking about my family and how I was treated as a child, and honestly, my father has never seemed more amazing in my eyes.

I used to love Luigi(Mario's brother) when I was little. Like, he was my favorite character ever, and I had multiple plushies of him. Didn't give a fuck about Mario, vaguely tolerated Peach, but I loved Luigi.

On my first day of kindergarten, my dad gave me the number for his work phone and said it was Luigi's phone number. "If anything happens at school, call Luigi."And not even twenty minutes into my first day, I was having a panic attack. So I went down to the principal's office and called "Luigi."

Now, at the time, my father was in a meeting with his manager and his supervisor, along with most of his coworkers. And when I called, he picked up before he even left the room.

And he put on a very awful Italian accent and said, "Itsa me, Luigi! Whatsa the matter?"In front of his boss and coworkers. Without telling them what was going on. So they were absolutely bewildered, and he carried on like they didn't even exist. He only explained what was happening after I had calmed down and hung up, to which most of them responded with "Aww, cute."

I continued to call him whenever I got upset at school, and eventually his coworkers got in on it. I distinctly remember one of them impersonating Toad. I don't know why I'm telling you this, I just thought it might make you smile :)

this is so delightful I love your Luigi dad

Video captions: And stop trying to show your ex what they missed out on! Stop trying to teach your family a lesson for not believing in you! Stop trying to shit on your haters! Do it for you! Do it because you deserve it! Do it for YOU! Water your dreams with love! Don’t put no hate and resentment, and try to — “oh Imma fucking show them, Imma show” — FUCK THEM! Fuck them, do it for you! They don’t matter! They NEVER mattered.
