7 Seeds

Description
Scientists had predicted this disaster, and in response, the leaders of every country met to develop a plan for human survival before the meteor hit. The 7Seeds project was developed out of this meeting. Each country froze a number of young healthy people, which allowed them to survive the meteor. After the computer determined that Earth was once again safe for human life, it released them into the world.
The Japanese government created five groups of survivors: Winter group, Spring group, Summer group A, Summer group B, and Fall group. Each group consisted of seven members and one guide. The guide carried small tubes of poison on their necks to allow them to end their lives if their situation became unbearable. The Japanese government prepared seven "Fuji" as refuges for the groups. In each Fuji, the group would find seeds and numerous books instructing them on survival in the wilderness.

| awesome by ricecake24 on October 19th, 2009, 3:28pm |

| quite excellent. while i get tired of "post apocalyptic" stories, this one draws you in. the mangaka does a good job of presenting psychological issues that people today probably think about human nature. i'm surprised some people don't seem to like the characters though! at first i found myself annoyed on the first two volumes, but once you try to understand their motivations and reasoning, you realize that it's just being human and i found myself rooting for them. my particular favorite is natsu -- i find her to be a well rounded character because she finds her strengths along the way when she initially stars out as very timid. pity that the scanlations come out slowly, but as long as they're coming i will continually wait excitedly for the next releases. |

upon reading the 1st volume, I would say it's a good story.
But the main girl called "Nacchan" - I HATE HER !! A kind of people that I hate the most. Other than that, all other characters are pretty likeable.
But it's only 1st volume so i don't know how things will change, for now i'd recommend it  quite unique |

| scary... O_O by fictionalscience on July 31st, 2009, 1:49am |

I read the first 7 volumes in one day. It was like having a nightmare (for 12 hours), that is, a nightmare that's so interesting that you want to keep watching it, but you'll probably be too scared to come back and watch it again. The monsters were not only actual monsters, but, sometimes, also people (yep, living up to the "psychological" tag).
Nice artwork (although the drawing of the characters look really old school). The disgusting creatures all look so real.
I have to admit though, it's not the most original survival story I've ever seen. But it's certainly well-executed, enough to keep you thinking about it for a while.
If you think the first few volumes aren't interesting enough, keep reading, because it gets more complicated. |

Story --- 9
Art --- 10
Characters --- 6
The plot is pretty original and that, and the fact that I had already read Basara, made me read this one too. Some chapters tend to be bored, nothing to much repetitive, but, in my opinion, they should be cuted or replaced by another more interesting one. Nothing too much serious but it would keep the readers more interested.
Alot of people have complained about the cover art and I understand them. This topic tend to be rather subjective. For me who has already read the whole Basara manga and who doesn't deslike the style I have no complain. Probably after a few volumes most of the people get used to it.
It was the characters that has damaged the story. They have diferent personalitys and that make me give them a number above 5 but other than that there is none much interesting. Some of them have potencial to develop but most of them we don't feel related to them. I, myshelf, can't choose my favourite one. That tend to happen when a manga has alot of characters and they aren't depth-of. I can oly find 2 or 3 adjectives to describe them. Like I said before the 2 main girl characters (sorry I forget there name) and another 2 or 3 others have some potencial and I hope the mangaka does something about them, like show their past more often.

| Great story by comel on July 22nd, 2009, 12:13am |

When I read the reviews i feel this will be interesting manga.
Yup it is interesting, despite the art isn't really.... oh nevermind.
I got confused with the plot in early volumes... cause each volumes told different story about 7seeds' teams. Up 10 volumes, they slowly interact to each other teams... I like this kind of story, well there will be lot of conflict, struggle, survive, love, and I hope this manga won't turn up to be cliche love story.... and lost its characteristic to be survival manga. Cause actually Tamura-sensei (correct me if I'm wrong) is mangaka who write shoujo-manga.. isn't it?

I don't like survival mangas, and I don't usually read art styles that are not eye catching. I REALLY do not read survival anything... but this one just caught me and I decided to go at it. In a few words... it's amazing. There's not much of a plot since they just wander around everywhere, but the characters are really interesting. Each chapter and volume... the manga is made out of the character interactions and the development of each character. They're really awesome. Even if it was good I though my disinterest in the genre would tune me out, but here I am finishing ch42 at 1 AM when I detest going to sleep late. It's an excellent manga. You need to read it.
Oh yes, and the art style will grow on you. I quite agree that it doesn't compel one to read the manga initially.

| One of my favorites by xek on June 28th, 2009, 11:48am |
|
I almost skipped this one after reading three chapters because I thought the drawings were crappy and I didn't really like any of the characters. But because of the good rating I felt obligated to at least read some more chapters before I decide. After completing volume 2 I started to to think this was kind of interesting and I got used to the drawings, too. I am now almost finished with volume 4 and in my opinion the manga got more interesting with every volume. It is now definitely one of my favorites.

I tried to wait until more of this series was released, but I just couldn't! The plot for this is amazing! It's an incredibly original and unique series. Also, there are always, always twists to the storyline. I just finished Chapter 41. Why did they have to end it at such a gripping cliffhanger??!!

| no less than a masterpiece... by Izvcila on January 26th, 2009, 4:37am |

Well I don't usually leave review on public site but I made this exception for 7seeds.
- In general: just finished volume 14, I guess it's far enough to say that this manga is very great.Through out the long run, it keeps getting better and better (which it's rare 'cause lots of series go downhill fast) It's very dramatic at times, but I still found it enjoyable. Tamura did a great job with balance story details, one of the reasons why I like 7seeds more than her previous work, Basara.
- The plot: the idea is novel worthy and stand out in so many ways, even the message 7seeds' carring is very different too. It may started off little slow but it needs time to get details sharpen. Tamura is story-wise master, which she proved by Basara, but I'm still amazed at her knowledge on this one, every little things she wrote has some meanings with it, you must read through carefully or you'll miss it. The humor in 7seeds is very subtle, and charming too.
Spoiler (highlight to view) My favorite part must be the arc about Dragon King's Palace, a masterpiece in its true meaning that I'll never forget, it just took all your emotions out.
- The characters: good story comes along with good characters, of course. Though it has many characters, they're still be able to stand out in their own personality. btw, the characters connection in 7seeds rules!
Spoiler (highlight to view) Not all characters are likable but still, you will fall for them.
- The art: not something I really care, but even if you don't like it at first, you'll get used to it though.
My overall rating is 9.5/10, but I may change it in future since it's not going to end anytime soon, and believe me, I'm at volume 14 and still clueless about the ending, way too unpredictable.

Art maybe somewhat of a distaste for some, but it'll grow on you as you read along. Pacing of the story's well done, and its depth in portraying the different characters' background and development on equal allotment are its greatest strength. Read thoroughly and you shall not be disappointed
