Reading it.
And laughed my ass off when the kid got pushed off the giant robot and died that way, and not from the battle itself.

Waku was one of my favorite characters actually. And I love this series, the basic story reminds me somewhat of Gantz, except with even worse conditions as to what happens when you fail.......and even as to what happens when you win (I do know that it is very different from Gantz though). And I'm sure you know this by now, but Waku did die from the battle. Oh and GOD DAMMIT, I freaking fucking, LOVED, I repeat, LOVED the ending sequence "battle" with Jun. Seriously, everything about it was awesomely fucked up. That has to be my favorite part in the entire manga. His psychological reactions to it and everything. God. So facking awesome. Oh, and here's a description of it: "On a summer vacation, a group of 15 children discovered a mysterious man living in a seashore cave, along with his high-tech gadgets. The man claimed to be a game developer creating a video game with a giant robot defending Earth from alien invaders and asked those children to test the game for him by piloting the robot. The kids agreed happily at first, but soon they began to find the game horrifying, not only because of its realism but also for the first fatality among them that happened right after their first victory. Worse yet, they had no idea how to stop or leave the game." The character development is fabulous. And surprisingly enough, all of these kids just happen to have very deep and somewhat intelligent personalities. Not exactly what you would expect from kids. I loved it, and Bokurano is most likely my 4th favorite manga of all time. And here's a picture showing how awesome it his, be warned, it can be considered a spoiler to some. So if you are really into Bokurano (like half way through) then don't look. If you haven't started it yet, then it is probably okay. Or probably not. Depends on how good your memory is. Of course, if you have already finished it or just don't mind a little spoiler, then it is fine as well: Love it. And I just recently found out about this manga 2-3 days ago. I had no idea this thread was here. *Scratches head* I was just randomly searching "horror/Seinen manga" online and found it. I just finished it yesterday, actually. *Sighs* As much as I love it though, I'll probably have to wait a while before I re-read it. It's just lacking action for me to reread it over and over like that. Still, like I said, 4th favorite. 4th favorite.

The anime's ending was better, but overall the manga was better. Everyone go watch the anime.

The anime's ending was better, but overall the manga was better. I disagree with that first part of the statement. Reasons being[Spoilers for people who haven't read the manga and seen the anime]: Kana survives at the end of the anime, and they completely took out the slaughter part with Ushiro. Not to mention they "broke" the cycle of Bokurano and killed Koyemshi. Just meh. Also, here's the Rules of Bokurano, complements of Wikipedia. This would be good as a base for the RP we were talking about, Dawg. RULES OF BOKURANO:
-Each group of pilots must use their robot to fight and defeat a number of enemy robots without a single loss. Each battle must be concluded in 48 hours at most. If they lose a battle, or the time expires, their world will be destroyed and all life on it will be extinguished.
-The battle is won by finding the enemy robot's cockpit, located somewhere into its body, and killing its current pilot.
-As long as the enemy pilot is killed by someone from the opposing world the victory is valid, a pilot is not the only one who can do it.
-The robot consumes the life force of whoever pilots it, thus even if the pilot survives the battle, his/her life ends soon afterwards.
-The pilot must be one of the people who signed the contract, and just after an enemy is defeated, the pilot for the following battle is selected among them.
-The pilot exercises total control of the robot just by his/her own will, and all knowledge about its capabilities can simply be implanted within his/her memory if desired.
-While a pilot can control the robot from the outside, rules prohibit the pilot to be anywhere but the cockpit when fighting an enemy.
-No change of control is allowed unless the chosen pilot dies before his/her battle is finished. In this case the robot's control is automatically switched to another eligible pilot and he/she must continue the bout.
-When the pilot dies after winning a battle, normally the body is delivered to his or her family. However, the pilot has the right to decide previously how it will be handled. It can be made to disappear, or stored within one of the many crevices inside the robot, for example.
-People from one world are able to sign the contract to fight for another world; however, they cannot be a part of more than one contract at once.
-If at any moment the group is short of pilots to complete the remaining battles, other individuals must sign the contract to fill the quota.
-Koyemshi must appear whenever a contractee calls for him and must obey the pilot's wishes, even if it includes being teleported out of the robot in the middle of a fight to run away.
-Koyemshi may not teleport the robot during a fight, although he is capable of summoning it outside of a fight whenever he chooses to.
-The last remaining pilot is sent to another world, with the task of assembling another group of people to be the pilots representing it, and battle there to make a demonstration to them. The number of pilots needed doesn't necessary have to be 15, if your world is lucky it can be another number like 11.
Manga only rules:
-If there is no pilot for the robot, the battle starts regardless. All attacks to the robot are nullified. If no pilot is contracted within 24 hours of the battle's start, then the other side wins, but the pilot will still die.
-If a pilot is contracted, then the battle takes place in the remaining amount of time.
-If the last pilot loses the demonstration battle on the next Earth, the contractees from that world will be revived and the world will not be destroyed. The last pilot's world will be destroyed instead.
The robots featured in Bokurano: Ours all share similar traits. The most obvious is their large size, each being roughly 500 m (1,640 ft) tall
