Deadman Wonderland (Japanese: デッドマンワンダーランド, Hepburn: Deddoman Wandārando) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Jinsei Kataoka and Kazuma Kondou. It was serialized in Kadokawa Shoten's Monthly Shōnen Ace from April 2007 to July 2013, with its chapters collected in 13 tankōbon volumes. Tokyopop acquired the licensing rights to distribute the manga in English and released the first five volumes before the company shut down its North American publishing division in 2011. The series was later licensed by Viz Media, who published the 13 volumes from February 2014 to February 2016.

A 12-episode anime television series adaptation produced by Manglobe aired between April and July 2011, pulling content from the first 21 chapters of the manga.[3] The anime is licensed by Funimation and aired on Adult Swim's newly revived Toonami programming block between May and August 2012.

Plot

[edit]

A massive anomaly caused a great earthquake that ravaged Japan's mainland and destroyed most of Tokyo, sinking three-quarters of the city into the Pacific Ocean.

Ten years later, Ganta Igarashi is a seemingly ordinary ninth grader attending Nagano Prefecture's middle school who survived the great earthquake, leaving him with a normal life and no memories of the tragedy. This all changes when a mysterious person covered in blood and crimson armor floats through his classroom windows and massacres his entire class, but spares Ganta and embeds a red crystal shard into his chest. Within days of the massacre, Ganta is placed on trial as a suspect. Due to evidence rigged against him, he is sentenced to death at Deadman Wonderland, a prison that doubles as a theme park run by warden Tsunenaga Tamaki (who posed as Ganta's lawyer and was secretly responsible for the manipulated evidence).

At the prison, Ganta is fitted with a special collar that monitors his location and vital signs. A lethal poison is constantly injected into his bloodstream through the collar, but it can be neutralized by consuming a peculiar candy-like medicine every three days, which can be acquired through various activities in the prison, such as performing for audiences, working backstage, and purchasing with Cast Points (a form of currency among inmates at Deadman Wonderland). To gather Cast Points, an inmate must participate in the facility's lethal games and survive. Fortunately for Ganta, he is aided by a mysterious albino girl named Shiro, who appears to know Ganta, and Yoh Takami, a fellow prisoner hoarding Cast Points to free his sister, who was imprisoned for murder after their mother neglected to protect her during the earthquake.

While trying to survive as an inmate on death row, Ganta intends to find the "Red Man" to clear his name. In a bizarre twist, Ganta develops the ability to manipulate his blood, eventually becoming able to turn it into a weapon. Unbeknownst to Ganta, he has become one of the prison's "Deadmen," an isolated group of prisoners possessing the Branches of Sin, the capability to control their blood. After discovering his ability, Ganta is forced to participate in brutal gladiatorial death matches known as Carnival Corpse, whose anonymous spectators pay large amounts of money to watch. In his long struggle to survive, he manages to befriend some of those he fought in the arena and with their help, Ganta continues his quest to uncover the identity of the 'Red Man', why he turned into a Deadman, and the dark secrets the prison authorities are hiding.

As some of the higher ups plot to kill Ganta in an "accident", Ganta meets a strange white-haired girl named Shiro, who manages to read his heart and understand him. When a bunch of bullies start attacking Ganta and Shiro, an explosion causes a large object to fall towards Ganta.

Ganta soon learns that in order to avoid being killed by a poison, he needs to eat an antidote known as "candy", which was secretly stolen from his bag by Yō the other day. Ganta realizes that in order to survive, he needs to win the race in order to purchase a new one, but he soon learns the course is littered with actual death traps. Thanks in part to Shiro's innocent manner, Ganta and Shiro make it to the final stage against Kasumasa, where they have to hold onto a ball and avoid falling into a spike pit.

Then, Ganta tries attacking the Wretched Egg using his own abilities, but the Wretched Egg escapes not long before Ganta falls unconscious. After waking up, Ganta hears from the other witnesses that they keep the Wretched Egg locked up in the G-Block of the prison, so he and Shiro head towards there.

Senji tries to attack Ganta again, but finds himself weak against Shiro before a special unit appears, tranquilizing Ganta and Senji and taking Shiro and Yō to an empty corridor. As Ganta is examined, he comes face to face with Tamaki who reveals he rigged Ganta's jury verdict to get him sent to Deadman Wonderland before revealing Ganta will face off against Senji in a battle the next day, tempting him with the prospect of coming face to face with the Wretched Egg.
