10 years after a large, but really big earthquake in Japan (and this story was created before the earthquake there) the country is rebuilt, and one of the measures for this is the construction of a prison: Deadman Wonderland.

Deadman Wonderland is not a simple manga, created by Jinsei Kataoka and Kazuma Kondou, who also wrote the manga Eureka Seven. It tells the story of Ganta Igarashi, a young man who sees all his friends being killed by a man dressed in red who is flying out the window, is guilty of murder and ends up in Deadman Wonderland in prison.

Deadman Wonderland is not just a prison, it was made to look like a macabre amusement park where prisoners would be the main attraction, every day would attractions such as racing, wrestling and others to meet the wishes of blood from viewers, who think all just a show. As the name implies, the prison has only sentenced prisoners to death, and to ensure the good condition inside there are some rules:

- At least every three days an inmate should eat something they call "Sweet", a small antidote to a poison that is injected via mechanical collars, if not make them die.

- Win the race, or even survive, gives you credits, which are almost a money inside the prison, with that you can buy almost anything, indicate that you can also buy their freedom for a very high price.

Life in this prison would not be so easy, add it to discover that you have a strange power, you control your own blood, in the case of Ganta he shoots bullets blood. Thus it becomes an aberration and is mistreated. But there is that the manga begins, then we go to the secret section of the prison, where the Carnival Corpse (I do not short the rendering "Bodies Carnival") happens, the battle of the real Deadman, people infected with Sin Branch (this I agree to Branch of Sin) which is the ability to control the blood, but in each it happens differently.

In terms of powers is one thing I like is that, although not a Sci-Fy, they try to explain what happens and effects of powers. The Ganta to shoot is very anemic from lack of blood, one makes a glove of blood that is hard because of the carbon ... and so on, some explanations are somewhat fanciful, but within THEM logic makes sense.

The traces do not bother or are messy, but I also do not think genius, there manga with better features out there (Blade of the Immortal say so) but does not hurt, I saw people saying out there that would not read by do not like the dash, as I've seen talking about One-Piece and Berserk. But it should be noted, there are violent images, are not heavy gore, full of guts as Berserk, yet have heavier scenes.

The plot follows Ganta learning to use the power and having a series of crises, although the main character I can not really like it, it's very full of mimimi and many crises wonder, is like a person who likes to suffer You're welcome. Okay, it's a teenager, but still there are certain hours that it's annoying drama it is for nothing. But after the crisis, you see what's really behind Deadman Wonderland, which technically originated the branch of sin, who is the Wretched Egg (I do not know if it's Wretched Egg was called in translation) and other great mysteries that world there, including earthquake. For all who are infected with the branch of sin has a significant history with the quake.

What about characters, although the main leave to be desired have a range of much better characters and fun, starting with Shiro, who is a crazy girl who technically does not hurt and is simply happy. Senji which is the Cool Guy manga and meets VERY well that role, and even a call Drag Masaru. The secondary characters are more worthwhile and are better than the main character, but the ladder they do for Ganta ends up working very well.

In the end, Deadman Wonderland is a median trace of manga, with a great story that ends up surprising, good minor characters and an excellent plot with mysteries and twists that does not fall short. And a manga without courage to try betting on epicidade and get some profit that. For those who like a story a bit darker, it's worth.
