Jisatsutou

Set in a time when the government has given up on saving repeat suicide attempts, the titular island is made. The island’s purpose is to serve as a dumping site for those who have repeatedly tried to take their own lives. They’re left on the island without any resources. They only have what they are wearing, and all means of communication to the outside is barred. Kouji Mori, Sousei no Taiga’s creator, is also Jisatsutou’s creator, so a great story line is already a given. Jisatsutou’s distinguishing feature is how it depicts gray areas. The protagonists aren’t necessarily the good guys, and the bad guys aren’t necessarily thebad guys. At the end of the day, everybody’s just a cut from the same paper. Everybody is ironically just trying to survive.

No spoilers! 3 reasons you might want to check this manga out: 1. If you're interested in the survival - adventure genre. It's surprisingly realistic and the story is good. The characters (almost everyone) are unexpectedly relatable and likable. You might find yourself cherishing them. 2. They are people, who despite being suicidal before, try their hardest to cling to life. Together, they once again look for the answer to the question of "What is the point in living?" 3. You might learn a thing or two about the world. It contains a lot of great information. The manga changed the way I've always taken thingsfor granted. It changed me.

*Minimum Spoilers* What if you decide to end your life, and the universe brings you something worse? This is Jisatsutou, an outcast survival manga that brings you a unique theme for survival series. TLDR: Jisatsutou is a survival manga that tells the story of an island where people who have attempted suicide are sent. The story and character development are solid, and the conflicts between them make it engaging. The artist does a good job of drawing backgrounds and nature, but the character design could be improved. While the manga has over 150 chapters, each chapter is not too long, and the writer still manages to develop thestory and characters effectively. Story 8 The story is wonderful and presents a new premise to the survival genre. The main plot revolves around an island where people who have attempted suicide are sent. What's amazing is that at first, going there doesn't seem like a big deal to someone who has attempted suicide, since they think they're going to die anyway. But that's the clever part. The hardest part of feeling hopeless and thinking of dying anyway is when you're forced to keep living. It's great when people on the island discover the meaning of life through experiences like this. Additionally, as is typical with survival island themes, there is a lot of dynamic conflict surrounding the resources necessary for their survival. Seeing how they try to figure out how to survive and fulfill their everyday needs is very interesting and varied. The plot and its progression are very solid. However, as a reader, I have mixed feelings about the ending. (So I leave it to your opinion.) Character 7 There are many characters you'll encounter throughout the story, including the main character Sei. He's a high schooler who was in critical condition in the hospital and decided to end his life, which led him to end up on the island for the first time. His development throughout the story is impressive. At first, he is hopeless, but he later gains a strong will to live. His creativity in solving daily needs is remarkable, and his personality is wonderful. The other members of the gang have unique personalities and skills that contribute to the progression of their survival story on the island. Each side character or secondary character has their own uniqueness and different personality, making the whole story more dramatic and engaging. As it is a survival-themed story, there is a basic antagonist, a selfish character, and another survival group. The conflicts between them, driven by their different visions, make the story engaging. Despite being over a hundred chapters long, the author still manages to develop each character besides the main character. Additionally, learning about the background of each character adds richness to the story. Art 7 The artist of Jisatsutou does a good job of drawing backgrounds, animals, and nature, but the character design is a downside. The old-school manga style with exaggerated features doesn't look like real life, and the facial features are composed in a weird and unnatural way. I have mixed feelings about the characters. The artist used an old-school manga style, with exaggerated features that don't look like real life. However, I feel that the facial features are composed in a weird and unnatural way. Additionally, some of the face angles are also oddly drawn. However, the artist's drawings of faces are effective at conveying emotions, and the anatomy and movement of the figures are well-drawn. The panels are well-composed, but the many speech balloons in each chapter can be overwhelming due to the involvement of multiple characters. Overall 7 In the end, I enjoyed Jisatsutou. It has a well-developed plot that is both dramatic and dynamic throughout the story. Even though I don't typically read manga with a survival island theme, I would recommend this one. Despite having 150+ chapters, each chapter is not too long, and the writer still manages to develop the story and characters effectively.
