Before I even get into this, I just want to say I am a massive Eureka SeveN fan, and it's one of my favorite anime of all time. That said, although this manga is a really good read it's also a somewhat conflicting experience for me. Eureka seveN needs no praise, it's awesome and more or less everything you loved about the show carries over to the Manga. So, I'm going to focus more on my criticism of it, from one fan to another.

So basically the pacing steadily ramps up to hyperspeed in a matter of chapters. It goes over the first few episodes in ... only a chapter of two, and with 26 chapters total it seemed about on pace to do an amazing retelling of the original story of Eureka seveN; then it dives off the rails at 1000 miles an hour.

Now hear me out, it was actually really interesting and really cool, as they basically established really early on that the manga would be going in a different direction and it definitely lived up to that. HOWEVER, it did everything way to fast, it did the first few episodes, skipped over every other arch in the show all at once, and got to the third act before they were barely a third of the way through the manga. Then they took EVERYTHING from the show at once and crammed aspects of it together to create a weirder and much darker Eureka seveN that spends the vast majority of it's story in what would be the final 5ish episodes of the anime.

Don't get me wrong, this is an exceptionally well written manga, and most of the creative decisions other than pacing felt either justified or straight up improvements/expansions of things that the show tried to cover, but even if it's objectively better, it's still not quite Eureka seveN tone wise, and it's just a little bit to radically different in my eyes.

I really wanted to write a review for eureka seven but because there are already many great reviews for the anime so i decided to write one for the manga version.at first i didn't like mecha or sci-fi animes/manga but i changed my opinion after eureka seven because i was really amazed.
The Eureka Seven manga(published by BANDAI ENTERTAINMENT) is a version of the anime series originally created by BONES.The story in the manga(created by Kondou Kazuma and Kataoka Jinsei) is approaching the story from a different point of view than the anime and basically leads to a different ending.
I won't include ... a story summary because you can read it in the description above but i would like to comment that the different story version kept me really interested and making me to read more and more.
ART:I found the art really good and quite detailed.In my opinion it fitted the story really well.If i had to state a drawback it would be that sometimes the fight scenes are hard to follow but this nothing that could make me lose my interest.
CHARACTERS:There are differences in the characters development and the relationships formed between the character in the anime and the manga(for example Holland anemone and Dominic) and that's something that found me off guard but i really liked it.Through the story and the art the reader can clearly understand each person motives feelings personalities etc so in my opinion the characters are really well developed in the manga.
To sum up the Eureka Seven manga was one excellent piece of work and i really enjoyed reading it and i loved the bittersweet feeling that left me in the end.I think that everyone should give it a try but i suggest watching the anime first because this way you can get the whole picture.If you decide to read it i wish you to have fun.

This is my first review so i would be grateful if you could give me any hints to improve myself i would also like to hear your opinion.I am sorry if i made mistakes but English isn't my native language.

The Series was very well written and had a decently written story. However to me even after watching and reading the series, it felt like it was trying to hard to be something it was not, which is NGE. However the story was well plotted even though there are some blank spots that completely skip and leave you wondering what just happened.

As for actual character building you really only get to know three of the characters well. at least until the end, when it builds up a bit more info for the reader.

While I did really enjoy the Series, it left me wanting more of ... everything. Like most series of its type there are unanswered questions and more questions made when the series actually ends.

I would recommend this series to someone, even to close friends of Mecha and Scifi Series. So with that understanding I recommend it to you the reader. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
