The book "Shiirareru Shi" ("Forced deaths"), describes the last days of those who were driven to kill themselves. The author of the book, Takao Saito, sheds light on a society that has forced many people to kill themselves from various angles: the postal privatization that has sharply increased employees' workloads; institutional bullying in the Self-Defense Forces and schools, and despair and multiple debts caused by the Services and Supports for Persons with Disabilities Act to disabled people.
