Battle Royal High School (真魔人伝 バトルロイヤルハイスクール, Shin Majin Den Batoru Roiyaru Haisukūru?, lit. "Legend of the True Devils Battle Royal High School"[1]) is a Japanese manga written and illustrated by Shin’ichi Kuruma. It was serialized in the Tokuma Shoten magazine Monthly Shōnen Captain[1] infrequently between the May 1986 and August 1989 issues.[2][3] Originally released in four tankōbon (bound volumes), Battle Royal High School was later re-released in two larger volumes on December 20, 2008.[4][5]
The manga was adapted into an original video animation (OVA) anime feature on December 10, 1987.[6] It was directed by Ichirō Itano, and features character designs by Nobuteru Yūki and a musical score by Shirō Sagisu. The anime is considerably condensed when compared to its manga source material, making many characters seem out of place.[1] The OVA was localized in English and released in North America by AnimEigo on VHS July 31, 1996 and on DVD September 23, 2003.[7][8] The anime is currently out-of-print in the region.[1]
