Now people with strange destructive powers known as Altered appear at random. Due to how potentially dangerous they can be, even without committing any crimes, Altered in Asia are gathered together and shipped off to the special prison island known only as Island D. When mostly OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Satoru, who simply has the power to deconstruct things [[spoiler: his mother accidentally among them]], is taken prisoner and being shipped to the island, he winds up accidentally angering an inmate who was brought in after having used his power to kill many people.

* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Satoru's ability, Watchmaker, allows him to unmake anything he touches, but apparently only certain mechanical and metal objects. ''At first.'' The truth is that [[spoiler: he can literally unmake ''anything.'' The reason his power is so weak is because he subconsciously sealed it after losing control and accidentally shattering his mother like glass.]]

* ShoutOut: Chapter 57. Apparently, [[VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends Heimerdinger]] works for [[{{ResidentEvil}} Umbrella Corp]]...
** Chief Jailer Jiga will put a lot of ''[[Manga/DogsBulletsAndCarnage Dogs]]'' fans in the mind of a certain long-haired swordswoman.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Most adult women [[AndZoidberg and]] [[MrFanservice Jin]] tend towards the bare minimum for clothing coverage in the story.
* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: Satoru's power to dismantle mechanical objects seems rather limited [[spoiler: aside from the flashback that reveals that he may be able to crystalize people and shatter them as well]], but when it turns out that there are bombs hidden on the ship taking them to Island D...

Added DiffLines:

** It's heavily implied that basically all characters went through this, with Maki being locked inside a room and told to kill whoever was thrown there when she isn't even 10, Satoru [[spoiler:killing his own mother accidentally]] and Yuki [[spoiler:having his sister killed by an anti-altered serial killer]].


Added DiffLines:

* DecoyProtagonist: Although Jin is the protagonist, the introduction of the first chapter makes it seems that Satoru is the main character, and that Jin will be his mentor or the {{Deuteragonist}}.


Added DiffLines:

* EmotionlessGirl: Mariko.


Added DiffLines:

* GreenThumb: A character is shown with these powers early on and Jin steals it, but it's a deconstruction of the power, growing a plant, which is a living organism, drains the nutrients and energy it needs from the user, who can pass out quickly after.


Added DiffLines:

* OriginsEpisode: "Memory Labyrinth" arc, that tells Jin and Rei's by having a group go through his memories when he uses "Greek Tragedy".


Added DiffLines:

* RealityEnsues: In a prison, women are clearly an easy target for all kinds of violence, particularly sexual, something that has been show in the plot. Asura knows this, so she created a faction on the island in order to create a safe space for women.


Added DiffLines:

* TookALevelInBadass: Satoru, who is a ShrinkingViolet, but now with awesome destructive powers.


Added DiffLines:

* WhenHeSmiles: Jin, who smiles very few times in the plot.
