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.
