Note: An English-language release of the collected volumes, published in the United States, Canada, and United Kingdom by Tokyopop, was extensively rewritten by Keith Giffen, whose script does not completely follow the original manga. This adaptation makes several changes to the plot. Most notably claiming "the program" is a reality TV show and changing the time that the story is set in by almost 10 years, both of which are contradicted in later volumes. Less...

Truly an intriguing page-turner. Let me preface my opinion by saying that I am partial to shoujo manga, but am open to anything that has a good storyline + great art and this is a prime example. The art here is truly unique and the story really takes you for a ride (in a good way)!
Sex, Violence, and Mayhem. My kind of book to sit down and read. Art is beautiful and grotesque at the same time. Plots have some cool twists. If you've seen the movies, you'll get more of the same except with more blood and more sex.
it is awsome i love this comic gir wot validate my acount
