Eden - It's an Endless World!

Description

In the panic surrounding a worldwide pandemic which kills 15 percent of the population and cripples many more, a secret organization, the Propater, topples the UN and seizes control of much of the world. A boy and a girl, raised in an abandoned virology research center, immune to the virus, are attacked by the Propater and escape.

Based strongly on Gnostic mythology, all major characters are named after gnostic deities, and have analogous roles.

A Good Read

by fallen.enigma

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

Post-apocalypse setting is not really my thing and all the talk about science stuff kinda gets me lost but i still got hooked on the series and in just 2 days I've completed it!

The series started good but halfway it went a bit downhill but still i enjoyed reading it.
I also loved the characters all of them are well developed even the villains especially the main character Elijah BUT

it was kind of a bummer for me how he didn't had any major role in the end part of the series he was put onto the sidelines and one thing i did not like is how the mangaka left plot holes like who created Maya and what happended to the universe the colloid created

It's good as far as post-apocalyptic series go. You'll get more out of this one than other series.

However, I wasn't and probably won't be a fan of Eden. This is partially because I have a general dislike for post apocalyptic settings, but it's also because the overall theme came out superficial for me. This(I think) is ruined because it's a manga. It rubs you the wrong way when something of this tone goes through a chapter by chapter publication (since the storyboard gets screwed up).

tl;dr - good read for most people, depressing series, may or may not like the storyline itself (hit or miss thing)

Like Crenshinibon have said, 100% correct.
It does require you to have some foresight on topics but it general focus on the philosophical side.
Please understand that couple chapters in people are dying like flies i do hope you understand that conflict with character growth and any sort of attachment to side character. All these character are persona of human in term of specific category in order to give a parallels toward the message of Eden.

I think this manga is incredible, I couldn't let go of the books and read the 18 books in 2 days !...

When you start reading something, you often have an idea of how it will end, but here I was always surprised, until the end I wasn't sure how things would end up.
The subjects are wide and well linked, it is also an interesting thought about the problems we have: environment, war, drug...

But what I liked most were the characters: they are fascinating, complex and imperfect like real human beings. They strugle to go on, make mistakes... nobody is perfect and can always take the best of a situation....
Sometimes characters in manga match an "ideal person" (depending on the characteristics the author wish to develop) too much and loose humanity, but not here.
There is also no cliché with a "bad guy" and a hero.
The manga is also enriched by the number of characters, and even small ones are not neglected. Some say it is more confusing... well it also how life is, even if we interact with a small number of people everyday, a lot more can influence our lives (a litle, or greatly). The manga does not only tells the story of some people, but describe a situation and the number of people makes just it more realistic.
The work done by the manga on this part was great and really nice.

I think this is one of the best manga I ever read !

Exceptional Story

by Jokagetto9

Rating: N/A

When I started this manga I was expecting something vaguely similar to Road Warrior: end of the world, fighting to survive, blah blah blah. Something just to kill time. However, this story goes above and beyond, diving deep into politics, crime, religion and even quantum physics. I highly recommend this series. It addresses, from many different perspectives, the complexity of human nature. The story is vaguely similar to Eureka seveN, with the major difference being that there are no "heroes." Everyone is just trying to survive by their own ideals. For as long as they can. The gnostic tie-ins are quite brilliant as well.

The only drawback I would say is keeping track of the characters. There are many different factions each with their own connections. You can tell at some point that the artist had trouble creating a unique appearance for various side characters. The story could use a chapter by chapter identification guide on each of the newly introduced characters just so you don't mix them up. Hell, during some flashbacks you may have to wait to determine the sex of the character in focus.

All in all if you have the patience this story will thoroughly wow you.

Exceedingly clever from specific perspectives.

I think how much one is inclined to enjoy Eden is most likely directly correlated to how you read it. As a standard post-apocalyptic sci-fi story, it flickers from above average to slightly below in terms of quality, although it is quite expansive and well-drawn. From a purely character-based perspective, it's moderately more impressive, but the utter failure of development for certain characters doesn't favor it. In the end, I think that Eden is best enjoyed as a philosophical piece that utilizes biblical symbolism to strongly prove a point, and in that regard, it allows the whole of Endo's narrative talent to comes into play. It may not be as wonderful as Tanpenshu, but it really is a stunning work in terms of thought provoking philosophy on the single level, and I hope that, like with films like Donnie Darko, the readers can see beyond the storytelling flaws to derive the meaning underneath, otherwise there's not much of a point to reading it, now, is there?

Eden - A Misunderstood Series

@chas, man you're ridiculous, your expecations might be met with a book, but not with a manga. You cannot deal with racism in 200 pages and then expect it to be sold off. If I'm wrong then tell me a comparable manga series which has such a deep story, deals with sociological and policital issues realistically and has more then 2 volumes.

If you come up with Monster or Pluto then don't be hurt if I laugh out really loud.
