The story is about a mission in which convicts and their executioners were sent on an island to find the elixir of life that would offer immortality .The convict to bring it to the goverment will get a pardon and be free .Though the island seems not to be a normal one. The series heavily focuses on human emotions and relationships and manages to portray them really well. It is important to mention that the ending was beautiful and justified the protagonists.
The characters were loveable ,I really cared for almost all of them. They had interesting personalities and reasoning to cling to life, most of them got some really good development ,which made them even more likeable.
The art was great , I really loved the detail used to draw eyes and weirdly clothes too .The mangaka's art is really distinct and mesmerizing .Character emotions are pretty clear and the flow of action is amazing
Overall it's a great piece ,I would dare call it one of the best shonen manga released the last 8 years
8/10
Take care friends :D
