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.
