The February issue of Akita Shoten’s Bessatsu Young Champion magazine revealed on Wednesday that Koushun Takami’s Battle Royale franchise is inspiring a new manga titled Battle Royale III: Enforcers that will launch in the magazine’s next issue on February 1.
The manga is based on the universe of the live-action Battle Royale film, instead of the original novel.
The manga’s numbering in the title implies continuity with the previous Battle Royale II: Blitz Royale manga by Hitoshi Tomizawa.
A manga spinoff titled Battle Royale: Angels’ Border ran in Young Champion in 2010.
