A post-apocalyptic story of survival in a surreal prison built in the ruins of Tokyo. Framed for the brutal murders of his classmates by the mysterious Red Man, middle school student Ganta Igarashi finds himself sentenced to death and sent to the bizarre and fatal theme park/prison that has risen from the ruins of the Great Tokyo Earthquake--a hell on earth known as "Deadman Wonderland." The inmates of this insane penitentiary fight for survival every day to provide entertainment for the masses, and terrifying secrets lurk in the shadows. Ganta is determined to survive Deadman Wonderland and clear his name, but the price may be his soul...
A strong star however I cannot recommend to non-anime fans. The story is violent, and intense at times in showing how working and living in prison can twist the human psyche. Overall DW is a true hidden gem to formerly Tokyopop now for Viz.
