It a spin-off of The Lord of the Flies
I kinda like it because its eerie and gruesome but hate it for the same reason. I like how it shows how ugly people can be when theres no rules and how dependent we are on society, but then again its betrayal there murder here, disease that makes your eyes bleed and then die. I mean Im scared one of the main charaters are gunna get raped -.- anywaysssssssssss.....
READ THIS IF U LIKE DEEP SCARY EEK AMAZING FREAKY MANGAS with hot chicks and 5 ton dinosaur thingys

I actually quite like this manga. It's setting and plot is interesting [also the animals~ since most of them I never even heard of before xD] It gets even better later on [chinese scanlations are up to ch60] Though everyone seems to compare it to other series like Lost and stuff...I haven't watched them yet so I can't compare them. But Cage of Eden by itself is entertaining xD [no idea how to describe how good the series without spoiling it]

@wait321: Well, they didn't... If they froze.
@acritic:
There was some logic there. For most animals, if you show that you are too much trouble to bother catching, they MAY(not fool proof, of course...) turn and go get some easier prey, especially if it is available. For the saber-toothed tiger, if the bird thing hadn't come charging at them, they would never have noticed it sneaking up behind them... It was suddenly there.Also, the rhino things were rutting, right? like stags, they were competing... the kids were just in the way.
That pack of panther things seemed more like hyenas to me, with the line of fur... which are feliforma as well, but they hunt a bit differently.

This is a great take on Lord of the Flies... they even have the lord of the flies(kind of, in an abstract way)

and that underwater seal ancestor thing? ok, yeah, but if it was TOO realistic, they'd ALL be dead, so....

And yeah, it is odd how the laptop didn't get ruined in the water...

This is one of my first manga that I read and enjoyed. The beginning started great with all the survival and mysteries. It hooked you up until the end.
But one thing I don't like is the ending. It didn't give you any satisfaction after a long journey.
Nevertheless the thing I like the most is the 2nd Male Lead point of view and interaction with other characters. Everyone don't like him but he still save the day. If I ever get stranded, I would definitely follow him without a 2nd thought.

If I look at this story overall I really enjoyed reading it. I'm personally not affected by "plot" in manga, I feel that sometimes it's a good break in between all the death an agony of many chapters so yeah this manga has some echhi to it but not enough to destroy the whole story. I do warn though the ending leaves a lot for you to wonder, and it was the only thing keeping me from giving this series a 10

my conclusion at the ending is something like this..
warning: if you haven't reach 150++ or completed reading this manga, please don't read the spoiler, cause i don't really like to spoil anything, manga means to be read and look..

Cage of eden is a thrill from start to finish, and keeps you on the edge of your chair the whole story through. Survival is the main ingredient for this story, but a healthy those of adventure and romance has been added in. Follow the surviving group of a "plane crash" on an island habitated by extinct, fierce animals. Character Development is key, as through the story characters meet with accidents and survivors get picked up along the way. The main character's development into a leadership role is very interesting to read, and how human society 'can' react in the face of danger.

The ending is a piece of art. The author gives readers plenty of stuff to chew on along the way, and you will start to question "how can this/that happen?", which becomes clear at the end. I've read many manga's up till now, but now have given me goosebumps during the last 5 chapters, when the truth unravels to how they actually got stuck there.

a MUST read!

I liked it from beginning to end and while there's some plot holes and what not it didn't take away from the enjoyment I had with it. Yes it has your average stereotypes but that doesn't matter as they were used correctly to be likeable in the story and that's what matters. The art is also good and he has enough detail in the majority of the pages for monsters and humans. The ending will make some mad as it did me but for a rushed ending it wasn't all that bad tbh.

Story: I found that I enjoyed the story so much that I would reread the whole manga and the new chapters like every 3 months. I also felt it had some lord of the flies vibe, and love the whole surviving thing even if they are just kids and there r freaking dinosaurs and stuff. It really moved the plot forward and I never feel bored. I hate when mangas just drag out and chaps feel like its just fillers. I love how its a little dark...esp the new chps wit the doctor

Characters: Love the characters, esp the main dude. I always have a thing for the uncool guy who makes mistakes and then learns to become a guy worthy of being the main character. I felt that all the characters had dimension and also loved how even the characters that get killed off in a few chaps were distinctive. And its kinda hard to do that when you have so many characters (to kill).

Art: its ok, not OMG beatuiful like vampire knight or super detailed...wish there was more "depth" to the art work. But its pretty good. I'm a girl and their boobs annoy me a little...

Overall UBER AWSUM

I'm really starting to appreciate the whole island survival gig and this manga doesn't disappoint. Good, simple main character if generic and a good feeling of suspense. Minor things that annoyed me:
