Honestly, this is not my type of manga. The anime's ending is better than the manga. The manga has too many death of main characters. I don't hate it, but my heart can't bear any sad ending. I want a happy ending for all of the main characters. But I like Anemone and Dominic's relationship in this manga.

Anime was too slow and manga too quick. But manga had much more blood, on the other hand, anime was more psychological. (you don’t need to watch the anime to read the manga.)

The story
Distant planet where people fled after they destroyed Earth. (Different from anime, where the coralians were invaders, here it were people) And there is this group gekko-go or something that fights the military on mechas. Most of it was the same as the anime.

Art
awesome. Art is the best part of this manga, not really my style, but still awesome. Detailed and clean.

Characters
Being it made after anime, they didn’t have the need for character development. I personally think it would be nice, but the anime was too slow for its own good. I especially like that Holland wasn’t a b*tch like in the anime. He was a wise mentor from the start. I really hated him beating Renton all the time in the anime, so. Another thing I prefer in the manga is that it focused more on Dominic and Anemone and made them some past memories that weren’t in the anime. Favorites are of course Dominic and Anemone. It didn’t focus on the rest of the crew at all, so if you didn’t watch the anime, they were just random people on board.

Enjoyment
I don’t know if I liked this or the anime better, anime was really slow and then a rushed ending. On the other hand, I hated the ending in the manga (I still disliked the anime ending).

I watched the anime before I picked up this manga. While the story was the same in general, the way it unfolded was a bit different, so it was more like an alternate retalling than a rehash of the previous material. The character designs were kept intact from the anime, which I appreciated, because I did like the art in Eureka Seven quite a bit. Since the manga is only 6 volumes long, much of the character and relationship development is skimped on. It's not so much of a problem if you've seen the anime, because you are able to fill in the blanks yourself. If I hadn't seen it, I don't think I would have enjoyed reading this nearly as much though. Eureka Seven is one of my favorites, and I liked being able to revisit the story and characters again. I thought the manga was pretty good.

However - a suggestion - take time when reading it. Don't rush through, because the ending comes quick . A very emotional manga as well, thought I should mention that.

personaly i think the anime was better. the characters had more time to experience character development and it gave the viewers a more time to realize the affection Eureka and Renton had for each other.

this manga is interesting... i mean eventhough it is not my favorite (not at all interested in macha) it has a good story plot!

I'm really liking the manga, can't wait till I can finish the whole thing. It's pretty different from the anime and definitely moves faster. I'm looking forward to seeing how this ends compared to the anime.

It's an interesting manga. The only thing that's awful is that the anime is farther then the manga itself. It's beautiful, and a good read. The reason I only rated it a 9 is because it's too similar to Evangelion. It's a nicely shaped Evangelion that's not as emotional.

very interesting manga.
