Synopsis
Ganta watches his entire class be murdered by a mysterious man in red, then finds himself convicted of the crime and sentenced to Deadman Wonderland — a prison that doubles as a theme park, where inmates perform in dangerous entertainment for visitors who don't know or don't care what they're watching. Deadman Wonderland (Jinsei Kataoka and Kazuma Kondou) is 58 chapters, complete in Monthly Shonen Ace. It's a brutal science fiction action manga that moves fast and doesn't soften its premise — the combination of prison survival, superhuman blood abilities, and corporate entertainment corruption remains distinctive. The anime (Manglobe, 2011) covered the beginning; the manga continues significantly further and reaches a proper conclusion. Available through Viz Media.
