**Suicide Island** (自殺島, *Jisatsutou*) is an ongoing psychological and seinen manga series by the creator of *Holyland*, Mori Kouji. Its first chapter was published in ...
Treating non-successful suicidal patients requires a lot of money and resources. With low
budget and a personal respect argumentation, a doctor will ask a non-successful suicidal
patient if he/she still wants to live on or not. If not the government will respect his/her
wish. However, the government doesn't just simply kill them. Instead, they are sent to an
island called the "Suicide Island".

## Plot

Lately, Japan has been suffering from an influx of suicide attempts. But taking care of non-successful suicidal patients requires a lot of money and resources that the government is not quite willing to spend on them anymore. So when a suicidal patient comes into the hospital bleeding, gagged or high on drugs, they ask a question: *Do you really wish to die?* If the patient answers yes, a waiver will be signed and everything will go peacefully black...

Only for the patient to awaken in an unknown place! A sign near-by explains their confusion.Since the patient does not wish to continue living, they have been legally declared *dead* to the government and have been sent to this Island, with everyone having washed their hands off of them. Instead of expecting the assisted suicide they were expecting, they have been flung away like garbage into a corner that nobody cares about.

Of course, the government tells them that *anything* is allowed on this Island and there are no rules... except one: *Do not even think of escaping*. Escape is the only prohibition. Everything else is free to go, including ending your life or... assisting others in getting rid of their life.

The story itself starts off when Sei, who is 20 years old, ends up sent to the Island after another attempted suicide through drug-overdose along with other suicidees. They try to figure out what is going on, how this island is shaped and even begin to simply plan their lives here...
