At its core, Jisatsutou and Btooom are survival horror stories. Both series' main characters are involved in events that changes their lives forever. Not only that but some of them actually dies with brutal circumstances. There is also a psychological appeal to both series as the characters tries to adapt and function together to survive. However, loyalty becomes a question of matters at many times that truly tests the wits of the characters. Recommended for anyone interested in survival horror fiction. 

"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. read more 

Btooom! and Jisatsutou are the same in the sense that both involve people that are 'exiled' to an unknown island with no means of escaping, and must fight for their own survival. In Btooom!, the players are stuck in the island because someone has written their name to be exiled, while Jisatsutou caters suicide repeaters thrown there by the Japanses government. Both has dark aura around them.  

Both mangas are action survival mangas. The storylines are similar in the sense that characters in both mangas are seperated from civilisation to an unknown island. They both show how different characters handle the situation whereby they struggle to survive with the hope of one day going back to civilisation or not, the internal battles of self-worth, the reasons for staying alive and finding out the reasons why life is worth living if they get back to civilisation. 

Both mangas are about people who are trying to survive on a desert island. Jisatsutou (Suicide Island)'s theme is a bit darker tho, and its art is quite unique. 

Taking the idea of survival horror and transforming into a story with a cast of characters is what Eden no Ori and Jisatsutou has set up in the beginning. Both series' setting takes place on a mysterious island where they must depend each other and themselves to survive. In Eden no Ori, there are mysteries and abnormal creatures. On the other hand, Jisatustou conveys more of human nature when they are portrayed as the prey on the island. Both series also has violence because of the survival trope. Recommended for people who have an interest in survival horror. 

Survivor Themes 

Groups of people get stranded on an island and try to survive. In both you can see human behavior when society and morality is stripped from the protagonists. Eden no Ori has more fan service being Ecchi. Jitsatsutou struggles in my opinion because many characters have no distinct features and its really easy to mix them.  

Being able to survive in both stories is a key theme  

Essentially, both series are about survival. The horror elements are explicit and shows how the characters are in mortal danger throughout their story. Both series also focuses on character growth as they develop relationships along the way. There is a decent amount of graphic violence to illustrate the reality of the grim circumstances. Both series' story also unravel startling revelations. In general, both series are a treat for any survival horror fiction fans. 

Both feature MC's with mental issues in a survival situation. 

Both have a group of people, forcefully stranded on a deserted island. 

Both manga follows groups of people on deserted islands - literally fighting for their lives. Lots of action, gore & violence.  

Both of these are psychological based manga that take place on an island with dark plots. In my opinion both are worth looking into if your into Seinen. 

Same author, nature survival setting, main character finding themselves and maturing, main cast bonding over shared struggle.
