![]() To start things off, I'd like to inform anyone coming in off of the anime adaptation to disregard that. So yes, I definitely recommend this manga for anyone who likes dark and crazy storylines, and a must read for anyone who liked the show. But for those who can stomach such things and press on, you will find that this is definitely a manga that is worth reading. If I’m being honest, yes, it can be very gruesome at times (Yes even more then the show). Now many viewers maybe a little wary of reading this manga because of its "extreme violence" and "anything can happen" subject matter. It has that Berserk (another amazing manga) type feel, where literally anything can happen at any moment, making many parts (especially near the end) a real treat to read. The manga brought so many twists and turns that I really ended up caring about many of the characters and their overall fates by the conclusion. (hell it was probably even darker than the anime) It really blew me away with just how much the story could go as far as it did, while still at the same time retaining its ultra-grim and dark tones as the show lead it on to be So you can imagine my surprise when I actually started to read it.

Each character has many little details and quirks, and the style of the artist truly suits the madness of the story. Yeah, this is a pretty basic premise, isn't it ? But while the initial starting point for the story might hint at a survival manga in a crazy environment, the scenario will quickly focus on battle by introducing special powers and factions inside the prison (no telling there, go read it :p) His encounter with an albino girl named Shiro will urge him to live on, and discover the mysteries of the prison and of the As such, he is framed for the crime and sent in death row, in a prison called Deadman Wonderland that serves as an attraction park ran by the prisoners.
