I Sold My Life For Ten Thousand Yen Per Year Vol. 1

The idea of buying and selling lifespan is so provocative — I wonder what inspired this unique take on mortality and economy.

The moral grey areas made me question what I would do in their place. It’s a dark reflection on what we value most.

The setting feels very rooted in certain societal norms, but I’m curious if the author drew from particular traditions or philosophies.
