Buraiden Gai is another fine cynical work by Fukumoto. If you are fan of Fukumoto's works, you are definitely going to enjoy it. The overall plot revolves around a young delinquent, who is falsely charged with a murder and imprisoned in a juvenile correction institute and his struggle in that harsh insensate place called 'Human(inhuman) Institute'.

The art in the manga is very much like Fukumoto's other works. Well he is never famous for his art anyways. But the portrayal of characters in this manga, is as masterful as only Fukumoto can be. Morally corrupt authorities, rich men of the society and the harsh reality of ... a cop; a splendid delineation by the author.

Overall the manga is enjoyable, but compared to Kaiji and the author's other famous works, it falls short, especially the ending. Though the ending of the manga seemed a bit rushed and feeble, but it is a good read.

Buraiden Gai (Outcast Story: Gai) is one of the various works of Nobuyuki Fukumoto, who is most famously known for being the creator of Kaji and Akagi. Unlike these works however, Buraiden Gai has nothing to do with gambling, Yakuza, and his trademark "ZAWA" line, which only makes a minor appearance. The manga involves a young man living in Japan named Gai, who is framed for the murder of an elderly man of an extremely wealthy family. The story focuses on Gai trying to prove his innocence while surviving the inhuman treatment of the Human Institute, an island prison similar to Alcatraz. It is here ... that criminals in society are "reformed" and get the chance to become "human" once more.

With only 38 chapters, it doesn't very long to read through Buraiden Gai, and if you are fan of the works of Fukumoto, I recommend you give this a read. Just don't expect to be like his other works.

Buraiden Gai is my favorite series from creator Fukumoto Nobuyuki. Buraiden Gai is short and sweet, full of excitement and a jarringly great story/message. This series stands out to me because it has very thought out story and its relatable. All of Fukumoto's stories are relatable, however this one stands out to me because I can really relate and understand the main characters struggles. Gai also points out some real problems with some persons' views of how society is and should work. The story is interesting. The plot revolves around the treatment of younger delinquents and falsified statements by police and the such. The story ... begins with a well done hook that grabs the reader and keeps their interest. It then just goes from there all the while being meticulous and well built. The main cast is awesome and they feel real as usual from Fukumoto. Something about the way he writes just holds my interest and the way he introduces and uses side characters is emotional and ive to the story. The mind games are thrilling. I was unsure of what was going to occur while reading. I could only hope for the best. The art is detailed and balanced as usual. There are some s with extreme detail and mixed with simpler designs as often Fukumoto does. I love the designs of the ing cast and even some minor characters too. I loved reading this and had so much fun at every turn of events. I recommend any fan of Fukumoto's or any fan of manga to read this short book, it's bold, unique, and thrilling.
