I've been a big fan of the movie when I imported the region free version from Ebay. That's why I want to tell you all to avoid this manga, as it is the single most disturbing piece of trash I've ever seen.
First, the art is horrible. All the normal schoolkids look like buffed up rejects from a fighting game. The gym teacher, in particular, has been reduced to this fat little pervert that is a complete bastardization of the silently insane actor from the film. The action is also stupidly exaggerated, with Kiriyama chanelling Vegeta (including the bulletproof part, apparently).
And the violence....calling it over the top is an understatement. People don't just get shot, they stagger around for four chapters straight while their intestines spill out, throwing in a string of curses as they cry and puke themselves to death. It gets even worse when they try adding some sexuality to the violence (one girl comparing her boyfriend's spilled brains to a premature ejaculation. Okay...what?).
Avoid this shit. It craps all over the movie. In fact it craps blood all over the movie, for several chapters at that.
How ya doing, buddy?
