Description
From Yen Press:
By all counts, Ryouta Sakamoto is a loser when he's not holed up in his room, bombing things into oblivion in his favorite online action RPG. But his very own uneventful life is blown to pieces when he's abducted and taken to an uninhabited island, where he soon learns the hard way that he's being pitted against others just like him in an explosives-riddled death match! How could this be happening? Who's putting them up to this and why? The name, not to mention the objective, of this very real survival game is eerily familiar to Ryouta, who has mastered its virtual counterpar... More...

I've been hooked since the start! It is highly likely that there will be betrayal is this series and I hope there will be some twists, turns, drama, and action that will keep my interest peeked.
Interesting

Don't ignore this simply because people are saying its comparable to another manga. At least give it a chance. I am at chapter 19 currently and this manga seems to have a lot of potential. I am currently reading various manga/manwha but this is definitely a good read. Amongst the numerous manga I am currently reading, this is one the few works I have great anticipation for. I won't wait impatiently for a story unless it's good. Don't stop reading after the first chapter. Give it a chance as it develops quite well.

Battle Royale Anyone?

So this is basically Battle Royale. Everyone gets one weapon. Probably being recorded for the entertainment of someone. Possibly some rich fatcats. To survive you have to kill others. Tho this time you don't have to kill everyone else, only 7. Standard 'too innocent/kind/ethical' and also the standard crazies. Expecting at least one Pro in the game if not more.
That said, I'm not putting it down just yet. It certainly has potential since the players are older than the high school kids of BR.

So we have a flawed-but-obviously-on-the-good-side protagonist, a possible love interest, a handful of sane competitors that will probably die, and many more who are completely insane (but will probably last the majority of the series). There are alterations and revisions, but it basically follows the survival framework developed decades ago. Hopefully the mangaka knows what they're doing with character backstories, or else this manga will just become another drop in the pail. Something that seems interesting at first glance, but after closer scrutiny reveals itself to be just another time-waster full of gratuitous violence, sex, and gore, but lacking the key factors that make a compelling story.
*Update* and the author has succeeded. Not exactly fresh and new, but definitely interesting and well worth reading.

Halo. Definitely Halo. Anyway, seems interesting. I hope it would show some developments other than the typical stuck on an island, fight to death game, with a hottie. But we will see.
