Requirements: CBR Reader, 1.3 GB.
Overview: Old Boy is an intense, bare-knuckled urban thriller in the tradition of Pulp Fiction and Payback and is the manga that inspired the critically acclaimed 2003 film.

    Ten years ago, they took him. He doesn't know who. For ten years he has been confined in a private prison. He doesn't know why. For ten years his only contact with the outside world has been a television set and the voices of his jailers. In time, he lost himself. He changed... transformed himself into something else... something hard... something lethal. Suddenly one day, his incarceration ends, again without explanation. He is sedated, stuffed inside a trunk, and dumped in a park. When he awakes, he is free to reclaim what's left of his life... and what's left is revenge.

      In 2003, it was adapted into the award winning Korean film Oldboy by South Korean director Park Chan-wook. The film was a huge international success and went on to win various awards including the Grand Prix of the Jury at the 57th Cannes Film Festival awards ceremony.

      In 2006, Indian version of Oldboy titled Zinda directed by Sanjay Gupta received acclaim for its unofficial remake.
      A subsequent American film adaptation was directed by Spike Lee in 2013.

        In 2007, the Old Boy manga won an Eisner Award in the category of "Best U.S. Edition of International Material - Japan."

Old Boy manga V05 (2007) (Digital)
Ten years locked away in a private prison with only a TV set and a jailer's voice for company-but why?

Is an adolescent vendetta worth the millions of yen required to imprison a man for a decade? And is allowing the brutal Goto the opportunity to pursue his revenge just another opportunity to watch him twist on a hook?
