If a suicide attempt survivor can barely live in modern Japan, how would one fair alone on the remote Suicide Island?

In a manga series that evokes both Lord of the Flies and Battle Royale, a young Japanese man, Sei, is transported to the mysterious, remote Suicide Island after a failed suicide attempt—where he must live the rest of his days or figure out how to die!


With society turning its back on many suicidal citizens, the island fills up with haunted, driven characters, often in conflict with each other and sometimes barely holding onto sanity!

Presented in English for the first time, this series is created by mangaka Kouji Mori (Holyland, Berserk Volume 42), with translations by Kumar Sivasubramanian (I Am a Hero, Blade of the Immortal) and lettering by Eisner Award-nominated Steve Dutro (The Fifth Beatle).

For mature audiences.
