Summary[]

As Ganta Igarashi and his classmates plan for a class trip to Deadman Wonderland, a privately owned prison that doubles as an amusement park, a mysterious red man appears, slaughtering his entire class and thrusting a red stone into his chest. Being the sole survivor of the massacre, Ganta is charged with mass murder and, due to the overwhelming, doctored evidence against him, and no way to prove his innocence, he is sentenced to death, being sent to the Deadman Wonderland prison. As some of the higher ups plot to kill Ganta and have it look like an accident, Ganta meets a strange white-haired girl named Shiro who manages to read his heart and understand him. When a some thugs begin attacking Ganta and Shiro, an explosion causes a large object to fall off the top of a building toward them. However, Ganta's desire to keep living so that he can someday kill the red man brings forth the powers that were implanted into him, allowing him to control his blood to save himself and Shiro.
