| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- There we go, the final chapter. After all their adventures, it looks like we got a happy ending on that island as life is at peace now and they even started a family. |

| Nice to see Sei and Liv get the happy ending that they deserved in this manga, as they marry, have a kid and live happily together and peacefully in the island. Somewhat a feels good ending despite the loss of Kai. Regarding the manga, I found Kouji Mori's Jisatsuou to be underwhelming and inconsistent sadly. Holyland is a top 30 manga but Kouji Mori's writing falls incredibly flat here in comparison (especially in the creative and narrative front). Hell, he has a better ongoing survival manga in Sousei no Taiga for me than this. Shame really but atleast the ending was solid despite the abrupt nature. |
| I hope to never again read anything scanlated by the dickhead who did this series. Ok its not a masterpiece, we get it, but constantly leaving notes in the margins about how much you hate it, just... shut the fuck up. |

Ok its not a masterpiece, we get it, but constantly leaving notes in the margins about how much you hate it, just... shut the fuck up. I'm conflicted because yes, I agree with you that their commentary was not needed, but also thankful that we finally got a finished translation lol. I remember picking this up over 5 years ago and waiting on the translations to catch up, so it's nice to be able to know how everything ends. Back to your first point (and to a larger point about the manga as a whole), I don't see why people are receiving Suicide Island so negatively. It's true that it has declined over the last arc regarding Kai, but it's been solid overall. We saw Sei grow into a more assured version of himself, learned how people took up unique jobs and roles like a functioning village would, and we got a resolution to the Sawada situation. I can see why people might get bored of reading this manga because the narrative is very grounded and is occasionally paired with heavy text about tactical survival or tool-making/hunting/fishing etc. I personally think that it's really cool to be able to learn practical knowledge from a manga, which reminds me of Golden Kamuy, but maybe it's simply not exciting enough when there's a general lack of action and humour. I still think this is his second best work next to Holyland and it's a solid effort even with the subpar final arc. |
| Hurr durr, I'm a burr. |
| A decent ending to the story. I thought maybe the last arc was unnecessary, but the author probably wanted to finish things with some pathos. The burial scene serving as a catalyst for all those emotions. The ideas behind the manga are pretty interesting. Do we have to live the lifestyle we have? Are we better of living this way? I think in Jisatsou they underestimate just how hard and difficult the primitive way of life can be. Any disease could be life threatening, any injury a death sentence. A bad frost or a fire and all your foodstuffs would disappear. Looking forward to the authors next work |

| one of the most underrated manga out there. |
| :v |
| Bittersweet ending loved it but one of my fav characters died ;( |
 |
| The ending was a bit too happy rainbow-ish to me. I don’t think things would have worked out with Sawada’s people so easily. We saw time and time again what some of the people on their side were capable of. You can’t just take a brush and say “OH they are good people that were forced to kill/rape”. I don’t buy it. Also Miki. How would she be able to keep on living after Ryou died, considering her particular problem? She has no partner, and her standing in the sisterhood is questionable. And why did Tomo get put in the corner after the Sawada business?? Tomo goes from BEST FRIEND side character of MC to Tomo WHO of the Sawada faction. And it’s never addressed. The only thing I liked in the manga were the side characters interactions. Like the Reiko and Nao friendship was adorable. Or that time Sugi opened up Ken while fishing. The rest of the stuff is mostly discombobulated and a fairytale. |

| A very disappointing work by Mori. The plotholes are all over the place... any logic is lacking. Despite story touching interesting subjects - it's simply too hard to take it seriously when some suicidal kids can make a survival expert jealous with knowledge they shouldn't really have with how their life went... when daily orgies do not lead into a single pregnancy and other annoyances all over the place. Pretty dull read minus a few semi interesting survival trivia details which are not even always correct. A very weak 5/10. |
