I got across this manga while looking for something new to read and after reading the synopsis I thought it would be worth reading, maybe because of its not too mainstream plot. At first I just saved it in my bookmarks and decided to read it sometime when I have the time. It stayed there for over a few months until I was having a bad night. I opened my pc and thought I'll give the manga a try..and I realized that it was a goldmine that I took for granted.
Story:
The story is a continuous struggle for all the characters especially Sei, the main character. The story is slow phased in an amazing way because it tries to capture every single moment from every situation. Although it is pretty predictable in a way where every single character has their own side story to tell, all were heartbreaks and despair but would eventually be erased by the experience and I guess, friendship they would found in the island. I rate it 10 because it relates to everyone one way or another especially on human's way of life.
Art:
The art is great, it fits the genre and the gloom that surrounds the story line. Can't say anything more about the art since I'm not an artist myself and I have so much respect for artist so applause for the author..
Character:
Somehow cliche' attitudes and life stories but at the same time unique in a way that the story tells their lives in a vivid way. The main character, Sei is so much of an average person yet with a deep mind and great skills. While the others are your typical characters that makes an awesome manga. A team leader with a lonely past, some intelligent guys, selfish trouble makers and a lonely girl with a past yet to be discovered. All in all the characters are well portrayed and detailed by the author. Anyone could relate to at least one of them which I guess is what makes a story worth reading.
Enjoyment:
I don't want to say enjoyment but as much as I would sound weird and uncomfortable to imagine, I guess it's more of the realizations that I found while reading at least 30 chapters. I cried on some parts and learned so much at the same time and for me that's enjoyment. No samurai or ninjas or kick ass martial artist but something more than those things. Something deeper and something that makes more sense.
Overall:
Overall it's a manga woooooooorth reading! you'll find yourselves inside every story and inspires you in a way that you'll think deeper of how life goes. I'm too glad I found this manga and learned so much from it. For me, this is a masterpiece. Thank you and forgive my english guys. :) read more

Jisatsutou, written by Kouji Mori (Holyland), is a masterpiece. Once again Kouji Mori captivates the struggles of the being human, through a simple yet effective narrative. Mori's biggest strength however is character growth, and like Holyland, the main character wanders through a psychological labyrinth created by our stifling modern world, trying to rediscover what he lost, and giving hope to what others are looking for. Jisatsutou also has wonderful pacing, where each chapter is filled with something meaningful, and exciting.
Please buy his works when they come out in your language. It is these kinds of magnificent authors that need more recognition in our consumer culture.
Spread the word Jisatsutou is another work that sets the standard of what good seinen should be. read more

Both revolve around a group of characters who are left to fend for themselves on an isolated island.
Both have a group of people, forcefully stranded on a deserted island.

People put on an island where they have to survive and rediscover their meaning of life. Suicide Island is a slower pace with no "game rules" while Btooom is more like Battle Royale where they have to kill each other.
"Useless people are dropped on an island because society wants to get rid of them"
In both manga's are they dropped on a large subtropical. In both cases they are not the first group and in both cases are there is a lot of molesting (in suicide island it's only implied).
Actually the only difference is what makes the story very different from each other: The main objective. In suicide island the main goal is to survive on that island because they cannot return. In btooom! the main objective is to kill others with bombs and the person who collected the most radars wins. Radars can only be removed from dead tissue so while they try to keep others alive in suicide island, they try to kill each other in btooom!.
For those who don't realise it yet: Jisatsutou is translated as suicide island.
