Ikigami: The Ultimate Limit (イキガミ, Ikigami) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Motoro Mase. The manga was serialized in Shogakukan's Weekly Young Sunday (2005–2008) and Weekly Big Comic Spirits (2008–2012). The story takes place in a dystopian nation where a national prosperity law has been passed resulting in citizens between the ages of 18 and 24 being randomly selected to die for the good of the nation. These citizens are given 24-hour notification of their impending death—the ostensible reason for this system being to help demonstrate the value of life.
