Its starts Ok, but then goes down hill

by MangaGhost

This is an ok manga but has some problems. I think its biggest strength is that it has some momentum. The characters have goals and they move towards them. This keeps the story moving forward. However, some of the characters are not very deep and are your cookie cut-out types with many cliched backgrounds.

The art starts off so-so but gets better and more consistent. As a survival story its ok, but could be better. It doesn't quite have the horror level that other stories have. In part this is because its still shounen, and the drama is not quite there. The ecchiness is sometimes just thrown in randomly and detracts from the story line. I mean its a dangerous place, but the girls in this story are constantly taking baths in rivers and streams etc. sometimes by themselves with no weapons. The anatomy of the girls is a bit ridiculous too as most of these characters are supposed to be in junior high (13-15yrs) but they are built like porn stars. Many are ultra-kick butt like the girl who is a nidan (2nd degree black belt) in karate, the delinquent who looks like he's in his 20s and is a genius badass, etc. Yet again many of them are supposed to be in junior high. Meanwhile, the adults come in various assortments such as: dumb, weaker, incompetent, cowardly, murderers or wannabe rapists. We also have some of the female adults that seem to be attracted to these children, which is just bad.

The story also suffers from the common shounen cliches, you know things that we've seen in hundreds of other manga like "must save everybody!" and "must protect my precious friends!" and so on. The male lead is your typical perky hero, who suffers numerous blows to the head which result in no real damage whereas other people in the story become seriously impaired. I guess his head is just harder.

There are some other things that bug me about the story, but I don't want to get too long winded and others have already mentioned some of them. Don't get me wrong the manga is not horrible and can be entertaining, but some of the shounen qualities I think actually drag it down. After reading about 80 chapters I would say it rates about a 7.
<------------------EDIT---------------->
Well I finished it and I have to say that I think it went a bit downhill. The smarter students stand around Akira the main protagonist giving info dumps which was kinda bad. It wasn't necessary to explain every single detail and there just should have been better ways to go about it. We get some lapses in thinking from the mangaka like when our hero leaps down a darkened shaft with no light but he can see the exit and the room he falls into when a few pages before another character was saying how dark it was and they had a flash light. A beastie that was hibernating but should have been dead due to lack of oxygen and other mistakes. More fan service is thrown in, a few plot lines are totally forgotten like the "friend" who was watching them at a distance and we never find out who the masked person is. What happens to those people? Then there is the real big discrepancies like

if they are all clones then how did they end up on the plane? Who put them there? Everyone else on the island had been dead for a long time. So it doesn't make any sense how they ended up there. This is why it feels like the story is a bit incomplete and the ending a bit rushed. All in all disappointing.

i really like this manga because the story and drama is pretty good and there is a lot of interesting characters. and i personally disagree with people who say the arts bad because first of all the art of the animals like the saber tooth lion was really cool and i know the character's art is a little less serious for this serious survival story but thats the defference between Seinen manga and shounen manga cause if it was dark, depressing but amazing art it would more a Seinen manga, and i like the art the way it is cause it gives a less depressing vibe

I rather liked it.

Each person has their own likes and dislikes, but I rather like it. I know it's the standard to try to compare this with other things and to read it with a judgment already in mind (I assure you, it is NOTHING like Lord of Flies in terms of plot), but it is similar in basis that they are 'stranded on an island', but you'll find you'll enjoy the read if you just take it in as it is and don't form an solid dislike-dislike opinion based on the beginning chapters.

It's an interesting read. Sure, the set-up of romance is fairly common, but guys, that's nothing to turn you off about. It's not the MAIN thing. The main thing has PLOT. And the characters go under character development that a lot of Shounen manga don't have the time to do. The goal is pretty much clear at the beginning: To survive, and get helped/possibly rescued, but it's how they react to seeing extinct creatures and trying to make it out alive that's interesting.

THE ENDING THOUGH.

DID NOT EXPECT IT. Like as soon as we got into realization about what the school was and the picture, I was like--ARE THESE GUYS GHOSTS??? I still don't understand, but definitely was a twist I didn't expect.

the art....

by skyarsalan

sure, the story is kind of cool, but the art does not work with the story at all. And the characters are really simple.

The main character - simple hero
the girl - extremely attractive girl that has features that she should not and is in love with a wimpy main character

the rest of them are just plain boring, they really don't have much dept, no matter how you look at it. Unlike other amazing mangas like "battle royale", the author just can't handle this many characters.

Despite the previous comments from these people, they are but only a small majority of haters. The manga is an amazing manga taking a fast pace and strong viewpoint from characters. Despite being similar to "Lost" as people say, it has its own set of uniqueness and interest that easily blow other manga out of the competition as seen by its obviously high ratings.

The plot is awesome. Especially when they start getting into the information and history of the island, it's almost impossible to guess what this is all about and trust me, you'll be shocked about some of the things. There are so many mysteries and questions about the plot, as well as the characters that keep the manga interesting. Animal fighting? No, this manga isn't only about animal fighting, it's about much more.

Characters, there is a large majority of characters that are given screen time and later not as much. However, that's a given. A lot of characters are still developed and kept interesting with a few questions about them. Though the girls may seem useless, they're not. Both male and female characters have development and change for the best.

The art is good. It takes the typical art style that actually looks really good and the animals look so detailed, as well as the backgrounds.

There is a lot more to the manga than meets the eye. The author doesn't even forget characters he's made without names. It's obvious there's a lot of work and dedication into it and the ratings above also show this. Ignore the minority that says not to read it (I mean, really, one of the people gave it a 1 because they didn't like the heroine... grow up a bit), so... give it a try, most people won't regret it.

Mediocre

by Baldulf

Rating: 3.0 / 10.0

This manga has a poor plot, bland characters, a serious lack of realism in what is supossedly a survival story and really embarrassing lines.

It also has lots and lots of fanservice. The manga basically runs on pantyshots.

so dumb, so unrealistic, so unreasonable, so generic

I won't bother repeating other peeps' criticisms, which pretty much are all spot on. I'll just mention my own pet peeve in this story: if indeed you were to find yourself on a super-ultra dangerous island full of vicious prehistoric animals, one of your first priorities would be weapons - like, say, let's take advantage of all the aluminum or other metals in the plane, as well as fabrics, and let's make some weapons. Instead, here we have one of the hotties as a martial artist, giving wimpy looking kicks to wild animals... Can anyone say CRUNCH? DIE. All of them should die, 'cos they are all prime candidates for the Darwin Awards.

Same Old, Over and Over

by book_lover

Rating: N/A

I enjoyed this to start, but after almost 80 chapters, the monster-fighting thing has gotten old. I'm no longer excited to see a new chapter. Instead I skim through. At this point in time, I think the mystery of the island really should have developed further. We've barely learned anything and it doesn't look like we'll learn anything anytime soon, since this current arc is just another variant of monster-fighting. I've given up.

Edit: Okay, in the current chapters the mystery of the island is developing and the story seems to have finally moved on from the monster format.

Thoroughly Entertaining

I've been reading the raws so I have read up to chapter 91, and let me say this manga is good.

It has the same survival and dangerous animal aspect of 7 Seeds, but there are more characters and it really feels like they have a community. I love the interpersonal aspects of the plot as much as the survival.

If it seems like a typical into the wild type manga, don't be fooled. The manga begins throwing curve balls left and right and have you wondering about the true nature of this island.

Spare the Women!

by Onizuka-GTO

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

Well, I must say this series crept on me unexpectedly, I really didn't know what to expect with descriptions such as "Lord of the Flies spin-off" plus "Lost World" minus the dinosaurs.

It gets pretty rivalling and as a previous reader commented its a shounen a.k.a action hot blooded series, so female readers should be prepared to see some ridiculous fan service thrown in.

I can't really comment on the way the prehistoric gigantic mammals attack and kill the survivors in this, but i do love the "Battle Royale" theme, the inclusion of raw human emotion really appealed to me, while i was actually concerned the mangaka will shied away from these unpleasant realities, luckily he manage to do so without over saturating the reader yet able to tastefully convey the harsh truth of human nature. (e.g. rape, mob panic, murder)

However one of those flaws of being a shounen is the eyerolling optimism of the main character, especially the male lead, you would think, by now that you shouldn't completely trust new people they find and not to wander into the wild un-armed with...I dunno...SOMETHING.
The real lack of survival techniques employed by the kids are never really explained, so the only other time you see them eat or poop, you think they been surviving on berries and still make the silly mistake of wandering off into the bush without a guard or a weapon....

While you expect the naivety from poor 15yr old kids (and the occasional adult) thrust into the life/death situation, you would think by chapter 40+ (which seems to show a time scale of at leased a fortnight or more) that they should of gotten a inkling of the problems above.

But yes a potentially great read and being a male reader, i can't help but wince every time a girl is killed/murdered senselessly.

THE GENETIC POOL JUST DWINDLED! D:

Makes me weep everytime 🙁

If they want any hope of surviving, you need people! or you all end up being related to each other.... D:

But then again this won't matter one bit if they don't erect some earth embankments and start figuring out to forge tools/weapons or they won't survive in the next 6 months.... :/
