“The coming-of-age manga series Draw This, Then Die! mainly takes place on the island.” Wikipedia
Set here, per Wikipedia
Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Izu Ōshima, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement: two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.
