* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Takashi Nishikiori]] is a [[TheSociopath sociopath]] with a [[{{Sadist}} sadistic love for tormenting and torturing others]]. Once crash-landing on an island with hundreds of other passengers, Nishikiori [[ManipulativeBastard establishes himself a power base]] by blackmailing a large group of people into serving him in exchange for him giving them the antidote to a lethal plague they have contracted, claiming to be a doctor. When the group's leader tries to swear allegiance to save his young daughter's life, Nishikiori refuses to cure the duo to ensure no threats to his power, laughing over them as they die in agony. As leader of his group, Nishikiori encourages whistleblowing and betrayal amongst his followers, brutally beating and torturing any who try to stand against him, all while [[BadBoss having zero problems sacrificing the lives of those loyal to him]]. When confronted by [[TheHero Akira Sengoku]]'s group of teenagers, Nishikiori tortures them, sends them on a suicide mission, then attempts to [[ManOnFire burn]] the dozens of [[WouldHurtAChild teens]] alive one by one, forcing the others to watch and cackling at their misery. In his worst scheme, Nishikiori captures all the females in Akira's group, then forces the males to try to rescue the girls, planning to execute one girl for every failed rescue attempt. Nishikiori then tries to force the girls themselves to sentence one of their own to die, secretly promising his men the chance to gang-rape all of the girls left alive once their "game" is done. Even when beaten, Nishikiori takes sick glee in revealing he's not even a real doctor who can cure a dying student's ailment, and makes one last attempt at screwing everyone over by taking a little girl hostage to make his getaway and leave everyone else to die. Nishikiori's presence on an island filled with monsters and mutations solidified the idea that sometimes, [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters man is far crueler than any beast]].

* NoEnding: The manga wraps up incredibly quick & sloppily, with at least one major mystery being solved, but nearly every other being left open. The LOST parallel taken to the extreme it seems.

** Akira/Rion are not really the fan preferred couple since it's crystal clear from the first chapter that they are the main official couple. Its gonna take some serious plot twist to turn that one around and by serious I mean Rion will have to pretty much literally [[{{dieforourship}} die]].
