Does Eden no Hana this have an ending?

Excellent

I am now on chapter 40 (volume 12).
This is a very emotional manga.
No this not an incest, story. So, for those who mind, don't worry. I think most people must have figured that out by now. So, I won't put this as spoiler.
This manga is FULL of drama. Lots of romance. Not that shy about kissing and sex, which I am relieved about. (But it's not excessive either--that's why its not rated as mature)
The romance developed slowly. The main girl has gone through a lot of stuff, but she persevered and still held a pure heart. Although her child abuse past has shaped her untrusting and cold personality, she is kind and blunt when she wants to be. A very lovable person, in my opinion.

At first the story focused on the love triangle between her male schoolmate, she, and her "brother." Then later one focused on her "brother" and she when they both finally realized that they are in love with each other...but as I said, this is a drama-filled shojo manga, so naturally they don't just get together--even when they both confessed.

It's a pretty complicated and deep manga; it got so emotional at one point that I even cried!! (:surprised: I cried at a shojo plot) One thing for sure, it IS a shojo--just not a brainless one.
Like one of the comments said, I also read this in one sitting. Couldn't put it down (although I almost did when it got a bit heavier than I'd like on the child abuse--sexual harassment--stuff. I knew I couldn't really stomach even medium amount of those).

From enjoyable to really disappointing

I wanted to write a review with a neutral tone, but i can't get myself to do it. I'll be harsh and won't talk about what i liked for the sake of constructive contradiction (who am i kidding here ?). My apologies, as this manga still has its good part(s) and could have been a lot worse.

The obvious and admittedly completely subjective reason for my disappointement is that i hated this onii-chan's character right from the start. First he's waaaaaaaaaay too perfect (over-considerate of his sister's well-being, not to mention he's over-beautiful, over-skilled and over-wealthy on the surface) ; When i can't help but picture a guy as Richard Gere, it's usually really bad omen for my entertainment. Then, throughout most of the show, his patriarchal decisions don't feel natural to me within the context i'm given to behold ; i'm not saying he's stupid or unreasonable for doing this or that (this is what drama is all about), but that more often than not i found his choices simply inconsistent with his objective love for his sister and his objective extraordinary abilities.

The same facepalmgenous decision making pattern goes for his sister's behaviour, but fortunately not as often (i'm probably more benevolent). And seriously, who put into the author's mind that buckets of tears equals effective dramaturgy ?

I won't even mention most of the supporting characters (the exceptions being the classmates) that are only thrown into the setting to fulfil a specific task and absolutely nothing more.

Storywise, i kind of enjoyed it as long as there is indecision in the sentimental outcome and it doesn't take itself too seriously (in spite of the dark topics involved), ie. roughly until halfway through. After that, it just becomes one of these wannabe tragedies that i'm not personnally fond of : every single element on the face of Earth seems to be intriguing against the protagonists' living happily ever after, gods, nature, family and foes alike. Please, modern Japan is not mythological Greece.

More depth in the characters and situations would have been welcome in my opinion, instead of groundless and forced "oh, i'm the antagonist so i'm gonna do something real nasty to them", "oh, i love him/her so why don't we just forget about each other". The way the whole truth is progressively uncovered felt awkward and unoriginal to say the least. But by then i had already lost any hope and interest.

awesome! romantic and well-paced

i'm not an easy person to please, but i have to say that this is one of the best romance mangas out there. pity about the whole plagiarism controversy, but still top notch quality. pacing is great, art is good, romance is very lovely (it's a very sweet, pure love. none of this good girl fall for bad boy crap), and the characters are very loveable and deep.

i don't think this should fall under the "smut" category--it only has one bed scene and it's very mild. it ain't "shoujo" either since it's a bit more intense and mature than the avg shoujo--maybe "josei?"

all in all, a great read! i can see this adapted into a drama series.

Wow...I was literally crying out "WTF!?" the entire time I was reading this...and I literally COULDN'T STOP MYSELF FROM READING THIS IN ONE STRAIGHT SITTING (not to mention download the raws for the last volume). I'd have to say that the best part of this manga are the character's relationships with each other. There are a lot of big decisions to make in this manga and I love how each character handles them. All in all, great manga that keeps you engaged the entire way and won't let you stop before you finish it! 😀

FYI, if you're not into storylines dealing with sexual abuse, I noticed that this manga does not dwell on it at all...so read it!

A little too dramatic

by Shellshock

Eden no hana is a very addicting series. This manga is about a character who got adopted by a household who doesn't love her. And her estranged brother comes back to rescue here. Originally i thought it would some slight drama sibling love story. But dear god this manga is just on full blast the entire way through. There is literally 0 stops in this manga. Every chapter is just more insane than the next. Like you'd think 'oh finally its ok now'. NOPE. This manga just doesn't stop and partly because of that i just couldn't stop reading.
Now i don't think there were too many badly written characters in this series and those that were were minor despite being a major part of a characters life. Whoever with the exception of like 4 characters everyone is like out for blood. Trying to make sure something goes wrong. Its hell. I liked the FMC and MMC and liked how the author made there relationship both romantic and platonic (at least at first) but the consistent tension was also gut wrenching.
Now the FMC suffers from PTSD due to sexual abuse from her previous household. The story really isn't about brother was household. but more of her regaining her life again. And i enjoyed these parts i like how the author potrayed but at the same time from other series i feel like it was also kind of glossed over. She is saved basically by 2 different men both just trying to save her
The crying scene are also just spectacular. The buildup to it. the emotional depth when it happens. Its just tears you apart.
There is levity in this series. But it would've worked if there was more that way when everything does fall to shit it would have more impact. I think the ending was pretty good too though i would've liked a bit more of the relationship in question. Overall i think this was a very addicting series. The author paced herself barely but everything was out for blood. The main characters were likeable. and the series was fun but im never reading this series again. 7/10

The series was ok. In fact it is 5:47 am and I stayed up till now just to finish this thing out of curiosity. Everything was okay, but why did they have to make the last chapter like every other melodramatic drama? The waiting and all. The ending was happy,,, fine but it was .... rather stuffed... I would say. Whatever, since it was happy, I can go on with my life without anything haunting me. And seriously, plagiarism takes place many times and it goes unnoticed. Here the author has quite a fresh, original storyline and the plagiarism thing ruined her career itself. Feel bad as the story does have talent and as a writer I can't even imagine that happening to me. So sigh! Now good night or good morning or something. I have to sleep. So yeah, read it, but try to not pull off any all-nighter stunts I just did.

Toooooo little of midori and tokio together at the end.. its like having some friends on a super long roller coaster ride, super fun/exciting.. but then they don't laugh or talk about it when they get off! (or puke for that matter XD)
It's just as if we're supposed to assume everything will be perfect after the journey... Exactly like the Disney motto "Happily Ever After" but not quite as fulfilling just because Eden no Hana is not as innocent and clean as Disney things.

I read all of it within 2 days, always hoping and hoping that they'd be together but I just found the last volume quite ridiculous because it was too rushed (*she cried too much *). That's just my own opinion, though honestly one page she'd be fake smiling and the next she's creating a waterfall 😛 repeat around 5 times and then WALA!~ suddenly it concludes (happily?)...all within one volume =w= hahh~

i um liked it, and the art is real nice - extra credit to the extra random story at the end, about Toki's childhood with Masamune and Yukari (they are sooo ccuuuteee) but i wonder why is it thrown randomly at the end.. it would have been great if she put it in the middle somewhere (to grow their depths DURING the story, not when the story has finished hahaha...), also because i think the end should focus on the main characters and their end together since we went through such a looong journey just hoping they'd get together. For some reason, we didn't have any Tokio thoughts in the last volume either 8D haha.. sighh

one more thing i'd like to say is how i wish the mangaka would put more emphasis in the impact of each person's experience... but I guess she might have ran out of time (rushed the ending). Midori had such traumatic experiences that it would be quite impossible for her to be so selfless to give up her only sense of security!! if a normal person went through such bad things, it would be impossible for them to surrender their only source of comfort.. they would be clinging to it for their sanity lol.

come on, watching your dad light themselves on fire and dying in front of you - i would not want to be alone after that. and she even cut her hair and became "strong" afterwards...just when (the love of her life) tokio was getting separated from her too! haha noo, we probably missed the part where she did intensive therapy sessions for her childhood and for her additional misfortunes.. 😛

im disappointed with the ending but nothing should stop anyone from trying it and having completely different views with me. Some people who have vivid imagination can probably draw some lovely pictures of the main couple together (fanfic/doujinshi anyone?) lol but the ending just didn't do it justice.
