   Bought and read this a couple of years ago, and it's still pretty vivid in   
   my memory.  Here's the comment I wrote on Manga Updates back then:   
      
   Gripping...   
      
   A very intense and grim story about a group of people trapped underground in   
   a subway station after a major earthquake.   
      
   In their struggles to survive while hoping for rescue, their biggest threat   
   may be the other members of the group rather than the hardships of their   
   underground existence.   
      
   Despite the girl's image on the cover of both volumes, this is not ecchi or   
   erotic in any way. I added mature to the list of genres because there's a   
   fair amount of the dark side of human nature in this story, as well as   
   violence, gore, and brutal and abusive behavior.
