Cage of Eden is something you’d get by tossing Lost, Jurassic Park, and Battle Royale into a cheap blender, with heaps of fanservice seasoning on top of it. Reading the manga is kind of similar to devouring greasy junk food; instantly gratifying, but insubstantial and probably left you mostly unfulfilled by the end. That last bit is particularly significant.
The premise is an instant sell for lovers of roller-coaster suspense story: an airplane carrying a high-school class crash landed on a mysterious island in the middle of nowhere. But, that's not all: before long, the main protagonist has to round up his missing friends,

I really don't like when people are writing reviews by the truckload after only reading the first dozen or so chapters of the manga. And considering the age (and the scores) of the reviews currently present on the site, all of them seems to be from the time when only the first half of the manga was available. That explains all the 9s and 10s. Heck, I would've give it a 9 or 10 around the 30th or 40th chapter. But after the strong start the quality only goes down until the end, which is quite honestly the worst trainwreck of an ending I've seen

I don't really write reviews, but I thought this manga needed it. Overall this manga wasn't that bad. The idea of the manga was very unique and original and thought the graphics and characters were very nice and the plot twist at the end was mind blowing. But If I had to say something about this manga it would be like a race. It was slow in the beginning, but it picked up quite nicely and then it was getting really really good until you reached the ending. It felt like it was going really well and all of a sudden you trip before

While there are not many chapters available in English yet, one must understand the slow pace of this manga. Characterization is not yet prominent until later on in the story, when it becomes absolutely necessary to take note of. The ideals concern basic survival and understanding, and only after you understand how to survive can you understand who you're really surviving with.
As a whole, this story could use some work, but since it's only at chapter fifty or so at the moment, there is plenty of time to see what happens later. As of right now, it's a decent enough story with enough death and ...

This manga near the END left me conflicted. If you're the type of person who is into the journey than the outcome of stories, then this manga is for you. The story had my full attention and always had me wondering what would happen next. I was constantly reading this manga and I could not put it down. The characters are great and although there is ecchi and a little harem going on with the mc, It does not mess up nor does it weigh down the story. The story (during the journey) is entertaining and actually good that makes you care about the characters.

Here's the situation: A girl you like has been dragged underwater by a giant alligator-whale thing. By the time you dive down there and pull it's whiskers off to save her, she's passed out from no air, her lungs are full of water, and she's got some minor bite marks since this alligator thing decided it didn't want to bite too hard. You drag her to shore. You have a decision, stop the minor bleeding, or perform CPR and try and get her breathing again. What do you do?
"Oh man, she's bleeding and she's not breathing! Should I try and stop the bleeding or ...

I enjoyed the first arc, which focused a lot on the survival of the group on the plane in a foreign land, in the wild. It had some similarities with lord of the flies, but with a larger range of people. I also appreciate the art, both the characters and the things they encounter are very nicely drawn.
However, as the manga went on I found myself enjoying it less. The story became less about the survival of a group and more about strange goings on, and human nature itself. Which while being interesting topics, they weren't particularly well-shown here. I also found some of the ...

From what I saw - the manga was a decent read, up until the ending. Considering how half assed the ending was, it had me reflect on what exactly I had read. I typically read these things for enjoyment, and despite it being fairly similar to things like “lost” or “Jurassic Park”, I still enjoyed it. It had good potential throughout the story, although toward the ending it began to slack. I don’t usually say this, but the ending was awful. I understand the sense of mystery the author most likely wanted to convey, but there’s a limit. Very little of what the reader actually

Cage of Eden is a mixed bag of seemingly ever extending ambitious mysteries and tiresome shounen tropes at every turn.
From what I understand this series got axed and it's good to take this into consideration when evaluating it. Regardless, cons are cons no matter the cause. + Story is initially interesting. You are presented with a huge mystery and action-packed sequences from the very get go. + Art seems fine, though a tad generic. Especially girls and middle-aged men(also known as 'ossan') are hard to tell apart. + Science bits about various natural phenomena and extinct animals are actually interesting(though I have confirmed some of the theories ... |
