Description
The japanese government has launched a brand new law: because of the lazyness and apathy of Japan's people it was decided that someone, daily and randomly, will be chosen and killed with a poisoned capsule in order to "bring to life again" and wake up the others.
The person elected will be warned with an ikigami (or death's notice) and after this he/she will have only 24 hours left to live.
What will those condemned think and do during this short time?

Good plot by sea-slug on October 12th, 2009, 12:02am

Can't say that I like the art a lot, but this plot is very clever! The thought of the government using death to threat people into spending their lives wisely is unique and interesting.

I'd really recommend this to everyone even though it is quite dark and depressing.

Very intriguing!! by Hermit-chan on January 21st, 2009, 7:11am

Somehow the theme that revolves around this manga reminds me of Battle Royale- the whole Government making laws that involves giving 'fear' and control over the screwd society.

I've just read 2 chapters of it, but I really enjoyed it!! Very realistic and thought provoking. It explores individuality within that society..whether it is fair or unfair for someone or themselves 'worth' living or simply chosen to 'die' at a random probability of the population. It's really saddening..

I cant wait for the english licensed Viz to come out this year! Ikigami is definitely an excellent addition to my manga collection!
