Member 1:00 am, Aug 16 2011 Posts: 18	i was hooked on this manga from the very beginning, and thats probably why i finished 15 volumes in 5 hours. i hope someone can help me find something with similar characteristics. I'd like some action that happens every once in a while but there's also 'rest' periods. a plot that doesn't get revealed all at once would be nice, like how in 7 seeds, Spoiler (mouse over to view) we don't realize that takashi is hana's father till very late in the manga ... i also like how there are many things that connect with eachother. i'm not sure if what i'm asking for is possible, but really, anything that is similar to '7 seeds' would really intrigue me right now. think hard @-@ thanks Last edited by ultimatepunk at 10:51 am, Aug 16 ________________ “I want out of the labels.

Ibara no Ou -- similar premise; Apocalypse, Cold Sleep, waking up in the future, Dinosaurs. But the characters are not memorable. Drifting classroom -- a more extreme and unrealistic version of 7 seeds. Zipang -- a modern day navy ship timetravelled back into the past [during 2nd world war] Suicide Island -- is quite realistic in embracing the survivalist theme. Btooom! -- is also on survival, action and has a very tasteful fanservice. Quite good. Psyren -- Survival, stranded in a strange place. Battle royale -- one of the best survival psych mangas. ________________ Rape is imminent.

Btw, there're very few titles like 7 seeds. Even for survival-based movies or tv dramas, the writing often involves tons of twists but the plot doesn't get developed well. As in: they keep throwing tons of twists until the end and claim that's good writing, even if only 30% of the plot is answered which meant they couldn't develop the plot any further. Maybe Dragon Head. ________________ Most under-rated BL: Songs of Self-Abuse. Dark, perverse, grotesque, twisted, sick, insane, etc. Venture only if you've nerves of steel.
