Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A Japanese Manga spanning from 1996 to 1998, Oldboy is perhaps better known for the loosely-adapted film version of the same name.Kidnapped without provocation, a man identifying as Yamashita is kept in a tiny cell, with only a TV, bed and bathroom. Left with nothing to do but exercise and pass time, he spends ten years alone, only to find himself dressed, drugged and dumped in a public park without reason. Given plenty of money and a phone by his captors, Yamashita meets a young girl named Eri, finds his old friend Tsukamoto and even gets a job, but finds himself driven to track down those who imprisoned him.Later developed into a highly successful Korean movie (by Park Chan-wook) in 2003, the series was translated in 2005 following the film's international success.This page desperately needs more love.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Please note that, like its film counterpart, this manga involves several major twists and reveals so watch for spoilers.

Disproportionate Retribution: Kakinuma's quest for revenge is all a result of Goto pitying him when they were children.

Crazy-Prepared: Alias Dojima, who somehow has bugs planted in the right place beforehand on several occasions.

Absurdly High-Stakes Game: Alias Dojima and Yamashita gamble if the latter can figure out why he was imprisoned, with the stakes of the loser dying (or, if Yamashita loses and runs, everyone he cares about dies).

Creepy Child: Kakinuma. Even Yukio (read: his teacher) harbored a dislike for him simply because he was so creepy.
