After a devastating earthquake nearly obliterated Tokyo, a prison named Deadman Wonderland emerged from the ruins. This facility operates under the facade of a theme park, accepting prisoners from across Japan and using them as attractions for visitors. The public remains unaware of the true nature of this "theme park" and the horrors hidden within its walls.
Enter Ganta Igarashi, a middle school student who has lived a peaceful life since the great earthquake. His world shatters when the Red Man, a mysterious masked killer, slaughters his entire class, leaving him unconscious and the sole survivor. Upon waking, he is wrongfully convicted of the massacre and sentenced to Deadman Wonderland. How will this new inmate fare in a place where survival depends on bizarre "games"? And what does Shiro, supposedly Ganta's childhood friend waiting for him inside, know about the Red Man?
Deadman Wonderland was on hiatus from March 26, 2012, to January 26, 2013. During this break, mangaka Kataoka Jinsei gave birth to and raised her baby boy.
The series was initially published in English by Tokyopop, with five volumes released from February 2, 2010, to June 22, 2011, before publication ceased.
