Description

Blurb:
Dear Citizen:

Thank you for your loyalty. You’ve no doubt noticed that the world is a troubled place. People are apathetic, lazy, unmotivated. You’ve probably asked yourself

WHY ISN’T ANYTHING BEING DONE TO STOP THIS SYSTEMATIC DECLINE?

Rest assured that measures are being taken. Beginning today, we will randomly select a different citizen who will be killed within 24 hours of notification. We believe this will help remind all people how precious life is and how important it is to be a productive, active member of society.

Thank you for your continued attention and your cooperation and participation...
Klappentext:
Sie haben noch 24 Stunden zu leben …

Um den Menschen den Wert des Lebens zu verdeutlichen und sie zu produktiven Bürgern zu formen, hat die japanische Regierung per Gesetz den Nationalen Wohlfahrtsakt erlassen: Bei Schuleintritt werden alle Kinder geimpft, in jeder 1000. Spritze befindet sich eine tödliche Nano-Kapsel, die ihr Opfer im Alter zwischen 18 und 24 Jahren tötet. Das Verfahren ist rein zufällig ‒ und steht der Todesbote mit dem Ikigami vor der Tür, gibt es kein Entkommen.
Texto de presentación:
Atrévete a vivir como si fueras a morir mañana. En este país hay una ley, la Ley para el sostenimiento de la prosperidad estatal. Consiste en el reparto de unos comunicados, los ikigami, que notifican la muerte a unos pocos elegidos para que los ciudadanos respeten la vida y contribuyan al progreso del país. A quien recibe el comunicado le resta sólo día de vida... Sólo 24 horas... ¿A qué hay que dedicar ese último día? ¿Cómo debo afrontarlo? ¡¡He aquí un drama llevado al extremo que te hará encoger el alma!!
Texte du rabat
De nos jours, une loi stipule que pour le maintien de la prospérité du pays, tous les enfants qui entrent à l'école primaire doivent être vaccinés. Ce vaccin inocule une substance capable d’entraîner la mort à une date et heure précises programmée en amont. Un jeune sur mille entre 18 et 24 ans est concerné. Fujimoto, fonctionnaire est chargé de délivrer ce préavis de décès aux familles, appelé “Ikigami” ...
Testo della bandella:
Che cosa faresti se ti venisse detto che oggi è il tuo ultimo giorno di vita? Il governo nipponico ha legalizzato un incubo: notificare con un “ikigami” - un annuncio di morte - il decesso di una persona nelle successive 24 ore. Ogni giapponese porta in corpo una letale capsula velenosa pronta a dischiudersi per chi ha ricevuto un ikigami. Queste esecuzioni casuali si prefiggono di ricordare alla popolazione l’importanza della vita. Ogni volume ruota intorno le storie differenti delle persone che hanno ricevuto un “ikigami”, seguendole nelle ultime ventiquattro ore della loro esistenza.
