Naoki Yamamoto - Believers
On a small island somewhere near Japan, three cult members have devoted themselves to the "Deserted Island Program". Calling each other by rank, these people (two men and one woman) have been chosen by their superiors to throw off the corrupt influence of modern society and "purify" themselves. But as time passes two of the members begin to give into human desire. Throughout the story there are just three characters. Each has a background of their own and each has ulterior reasons for this project. They are all wonderfully developed. This story pokes a lot of uncomfortable questions towards the modern day society. It also shows what kind of beasts people become when they are stripped of their so called advanced civilization. An truly wonderful manga and I recommend it to everyone who likes to read a bit more philosophical stories.
