Description

A national prosperity law has been passed in a dystopian nation resulting in citizens between the ages of 18-24 being randomly selected to die for the good of the nation. These citizens are given 24-hour notification of their impending death. These notifications are known as "ikigami"—the ostensible reason for this system being to help demonstrate the value of life.

Note: Was nominated for the Angoulême International Comics Festival in 2009. Adapted to a (Japanese) live-action movie in 2008.
