   I read a two-volume manga last summer, 'Metro Survive', about people trapped   
   underground in a subway station after an earthquake in Tokyo.   
      
   I thought it was a pretty good story, but there's a fair amount of the dark   
   side of human nature involved: they're trapped for a while with not much   
   food, which leads to a major struggle between the 'good guys' who try to   
   keep everybody working together and the 'thugs' who just want to look out   
   for themselves at the other's expense.   
      
   Dark and at times heart wrenching, but it has a decent ending and I enjoyed   
   it; it was definitely worth reading.   
      
   Note: don't get the wrong idea from the cover art; it's not a sexy story.   
   The girl on the cover is in the story, but the art is just eye candy and not   
   an indication of the content.
