Summary and Preview
To preserve the stability and growth of Japan, the government has instituted a new policy: each day, a randomly-selected person is killed for the sake of instilling the "value of life" into the other citizens. To those who are condemned to death, a notice -- an ikigami -- is delivered to them 24 hours prior to their time of death. What will those unlucky few do on the last day of their final moments?

Fugimoto is the narrator of this story who works for the government and delivers the ikigamis to the unlucky few. He learns more about his job and sometimes questions himself if what is happening right. You will see different perspectives of emotions and actions a person does with their last hours. The themes are episodes revolving around the person with 3 or so chapters to tell their story. While the first episode makes you almost want to turn away in horror; the second one will touch your heart.
I just bought the first volume containing 6 chapters and will absolutely buy the second when it comes out in August. If you want a discount go to buy.com.
CONGRATULATIONS! You have been randomly selected by the government...to DIE in 24 hours!
