of course the book came before the movie. jesus, if you read the book you would've gotten alot more "insight" to the characters(which they toned down ALOT in the movie).
examples:
kiriyama isnt a psycho that joined for fun, he was the son of some highly rich family that ran a gang(numai's gang in the movie) in the highschool districts. he was also an expert in multiple martial arts AND at birth, the doctors screwed up and damaged his brain(a specific area that controls emotions). therefor, he displays no emotions whatsoever. not out of choice, but out of the fact that he cant "feel" anything.
mitsuko was whored out by her mother as a child to pay for her moms huge drug habbit. she has the ability to cry on command, and is the 'tragic' character of the book, not just some whore that likes to kill.
do yourself a favor and pick it up(only 15bucks). a little research before making a random post on a subject you obviously dont understand about can help wonders.
Calm down, brah... there's no need to jump down his throat just because he doesn't know BR's original source. We're not here to prove anything to each other... merely a friendly discussion board.
On a slightly more related note, has anyone heard anything further on the second movie? Most of the initial test screenings were fairly negative, but I'd still be curious to see how it did box office-wise and what the Japanese critics had to say about it.

this book everyone's referring to, is it this? Link Here
and what do you people think of the manga? Link Here
I just got volume 2 of the manga yesterday, and I had vol 1 for a while... I had to scope out the nearest Borders in Boston, so I did so. I don't much like the art style, but it's okay. I don't like it nearly as much as the movie, but I love the BR story so much that I'm compelled to read it. I haven't read the book yet, that was what I planned to buy, but it was sold out. The manga seems to follow it much more closely, though... Kiriyama's actions actually are explained! It's interesting, though I enjoyed the purely sadistic freak that he was in the movie much more... mostly because he looked cool as all hell.
It's an interesting read, but I wouldn't skip a volume of GTO for BR money.

hey, thanks for the impressions on the manga and stuff. yeah, i didn't like the style much either at first glance but i'm sure it's one of those things that grows on you. i remember when i was a kid and i turned away from all anime because i thought it "looked weird." if i could travel back in time fourteen years, i'd give myself doujins or kick the crap out of myself or maybe a little of both. actually, i have no idea what the hell that was supposed to mean. just a desperate attempt to fit time travel into this post
