Akagami no Shirayukihime

Series Summary:
Shirayuki was a young girl born with unique apple-red hair. She meets a famous but foolish Prince Raji, who falls in love with her at first sight and orders her to become his concubine. With nowhere else to go, Shirayuki cuts her hair and escapes to a neighboring country. While traversing through the forests, she meets a young boy, Zen, who helps her after she boldly cures his wounds but then gets poisoned by an apple given to Shirayuki. Meanwhile, Prince Raji sends out henchmen to search for her. What will happen to Shirayuki? What is Zen’s true character? A refreshing fantasy story between an optimistic heroine and a prince who constantly stays on her watch.

Suicide Island

Series Summary:
Treating non-successful suicidal patients requires a lot of money and resources. With low budget and a personal respect argumentation, a doctor will ask a non-successful suicidal patient if he/she still wants to live on or not. If not the government will respect his/her wish. However, the government doesn't just simply kill them.

Yest, it did.  It wasn't in the archived MOTW list that I have and now that I looked through the posts I see it there.  My bad, completely forgot that it already had been featured. /me goes to sulk in the corner

Yes, but it's a really awesome manga, so it almost deserves to be featured twice
At first I thought that it was just a spin-off of Snow White, but it's way different.

[Kraco]

Don't blame Kakar. I actually bullied her on irc so ruthlessly she had no other choice but to add it a second time. So terrible was my menace and so dreadful the psychological damage that she couldn't even point me out here as the real culprit.

I feel highly accomplished.

 Well, this is almost off-topic, but i read Suicide Island (all that there is available anyway) and it become an instant favourite for me.

 I absolutely recommend it.
