Everything about this chapter is good. Surviving, friendship,love,horror, adventure everything you want in a single packet. Everything was going awesome untill last two chapters. I hate to say it but last two chapters brought down this manga rating from 10 to 7.
So many questions were unanswered,so many mysterious were unrevealed.
Though I heard it was the publisher who dropped the manga which forced mangaka to rush the ending.I think it could have been more awesome,more suspending, more unrevealing in the end of the manga if it were going in the same pace it was started.

Over all I loved this manga.

Ok so the main point of this manga is of course its fan service. But I tried to see beyond the assets of underage teenage girls and the digusted feeling I got when I read a particular chapter about girls bathing. :(

All the same I was eager to read this manga for the main reason, its mystery. The mystery was what kept me going all the way to the end. Which was the only reason why i read the thing from start to end.

And yeah lets talk about the 'End'.

It sucked, it was awfully rushed and guess what?! It was barely worth reading ... through the manga. A manga where 95% of the story goes to the fan service aspect.

Overall if you just want to see underage girls boobs bounce around and every underage girl walking around in miniskirts. While the world is coming to an end. Well then this is the manga for you. (T_T)

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 is the problem with this manga, there are some plot holes and those plot holes are really aggravating. The plot holes don't show up so much during the middle of the story but more near 3/4 to the end part of the story. You start asking "wait what happened here or to that person or why". Near the end is when things become rushed and is when those questions start repeating and repeating.

The end was really disappointing and made me depressed because how could something conclude this underwhelming after being invested in these characters and having this roller coaster of emotions because of them.

This manga (because of the last few parts) left a really sour taste in my mouth that led to turbo depression.

I'll give you an advice: Ignore all reviews with scores above 3.

I won't speak too much about this atrocity, however i'll recommend this manga to all people just to let them know which is the formula to make a terrible story.
This is by far the most disastrous manga i've ever read in my whole life and i can't believe it lasted so many chapters.
I've read at least 200 manga and i for sure know this is the worst one, worse than trash.

I don't think i need to explain why this is so terrible, all the reviews with less than 3 points explain it ... well. People that give this crap 7 or more have a terrible taste or are probable retarded.


Characters: 1/10

Beta protagonist, multiple waifu stereotypes (That orbit around mc's dick), badass secondary characters made up just to compare it with the MC and show people how brave or kind he is.
0 character development. Girls are only damsels in distress and if they are not ''pure'' (Virgin / Orbit around mc dick) they die.

Story. ??? 1/10

The story is similar to the show ''LOST'' but with anime characters (That happen to be around 17 yo). It's full of misteries and contradictions that are explained alltogheter at the end with absurd asspulls. This is by far the worst part of the show.
The misteries are supposed to make up tension but i assume they were not scheduled or planned from the beggining and the author just poured whatever tf he thought at the moment into his manga, making it random and ironically laughable at times.

Art: 6/10 Nothing to blame here. It's normal.

What you would expect from a shonen manga with ecchi and some blood.

Enjoyment: It was a torture 1/10

I usually end what i begin, but it was a painful experience i swear. I really can't understand how this is so popular...
Tbh it amazes me how many people like this, but it talks about how disgusting the otaku fanbase is. I strongly recommend you to read this, and if you happen to like it, make an appointment with your doctor to check for brain damage.

Overall: Help

I started this a few days ago and have flown through 40 chapters. The story is engaging and has always left me wanting more due to the scenarios the characters find themselves in.
Different worlds and monsters, very interesting.

From a 20 year old perspective, some things are a little mature and their are times when the worst thoughts can creep up. However this is what has kept me reading, as things not going smoothly and bad things happening are realistic.
Plus, when something good happens, there is an awesome wave of happiness for the characters.

The characters are certainly well portrayed and varied even as far ... as a 10 year old LOLI with some unexpected traits.

It took me a while to finally pick this up, but now that I have started, I can assume I wont stop until the finish.

What a great travel it was ! This manga was very refreshing for me.

STORY : It was a very good story filled with good mysteries. The quality was totally constant (even if the end felt a little bit rushed but that's not very problematic it doesnt remove the greatness of the story or of the ending). The plot was really interesting, enought to give you the envy to read it without getting bored by it. It was like a travel, as a reader, you were with the characters during the read, when good times, you were happy, when bad times, you were hoping the best ... for them. I felt really immersed into this world. The setting is very interesting, you will find some creatures that are extincted and characters will try to cope with that, they will do their best. This manga uses our curiosity, as a kid, I have always been curious with the extincted species, some were giant like the giganthopithecus, i was saying to myself "it should be incredible to be in front of one of those !" and this manga use this and it is very well done. In this story, you will also find a mature story, it's not a beautiful fairy tale, characters are in danger and can possibly die, they can be injuried and on this island, there is not a big hospital to cure everyone. It's not overused obviously, it's not a story where 95% of main characters will die and it's a good thing to keep the ending happy.

CHARACTERS : Obviously, they were a bunch of characters in this story but i'm gonna only focus on the main characters that have the most incidence for the story. They were great and mostly not too cliche. It was really great to see how they could be useful to make the story progress. They were working together with a good bond and their reactions were logical and mature. I had a feeling of accomplishment by seeing this team working together, I was happy. Even the side characters had an incidence, I liked them for the most part, I didnt want them to die if something were to happen. Of course I didnt make an analysis case by case because there was just too much characters for that. The MC is not your classical shounen MC even if he has some similarities. He's the leader of the group, many lives are in the palm of his hands and he's not a KGB member. But he will be forced to grow up if he wants to protect everyone, he will be forced to take big risks because in that kind of situation, as a leader, you prefer to die than losing 5 great friends. Not only the island is his ennemy, some humans will be too, some humans who are very strong physically, who konw how to survive and more. The MC starts with a big penalty on him. In the end if he wants his friends to live, he has to win so he will count on his bravour, on his leading skills and on the intelligence of his team. He won't protect his team by doing 90% of the work (unlike an another person in this manga who is very smart and strong). He will count on his teammates to help him by maximizing what everyone can do the best. Teamwork is probably the most important word in this story.

What would you do if you somehow survived a plane crash on your way back from a school trip and land on an island not even registered on the map, with extinct animals roaming about and doing as they please? You have to survive and figure out how to get back home, but how? Well who knows, maybe this manga has your answer.

To be completely honest, when I first started reading Cage of Eden, I was like "Oh boy, another lame manga... Oh well, kills time." Later after reading it, I found I started to like it. Maybe because of how suspenseful the story was, ... or because of all the boobs and panty shots there were, either way, it became my favorite.
I reread the first few chapters, and found that I had not paid attention to any of the little things in the beginning. Later in the volumes, the little things I never noticed came back to become huge things. But as for the plot of the story, it could be better.
There's not much to say about this manga, I kind of already said it in the first paragraph. Anyways, the manga is full of mystery and suspense, and starts off all happy and full of life, but it gets dark quick.

I recommend this manga to those who like action/adventure manga, but I wouldn't recommend this to those who don't like ecchi, because there is a lot of ecchi in this manga.

Art - 10 The Drawing styles are great and updated, one of the best arts i read on manga, really good!

Character - 10 Even though some of the characters are just normal , The Major Characters are really unique for me i love there way of doing things, their attitudes and emotions all of them matured....I LOVE SENGOKU'S BRAVERY, LEADERSHIP,STRENGTH and WITS..althoug i would have loved it more if there was more romance between them ( AKIRA

Attention! This review may contain Spoilers!

Pros:

The manga manages to involve the viewer until the end.

The beginning is interesting. I like to see the reactions of the people who were trapped on the Island.

Beautiful art.

...

Cons:

Lousy characters: I can barely remember a scene in which I was not in the mood to kill the characters in this manga.
But what is the reason for all this hatred? The answer is very simple: MC is practically useless, it has almost no intelligence. In my opinion, it is nothing more than a human shield, it only serves to take punches in place of your friends. But that doesn't stop the characters around him from forcing the bar on him, and trusting that he is the only one who can get them off that island.
But what about the main heroine? Is she even interesting? The answer to that is a tremendous NO !!! Another useless one. Most of the time, she is being captured or is jealous of the interactions that other girls have with the protagonist. I don't think there's any interesting point about this character, honestly.
But what about the secondary characters? Are there any that stand out? The answer is another NO! Idiotic teacher, a Kuudere without charisma and a villain who is described as a mean and heartless being, but in reality does not hurt any fly.
If I were to list all the bad characters contained in this manga, I would be even more extended, and that is not my intention.

Mysteries: I spent a lot of time waiting for a solution to the mysteries that unfolded on that island, and when it is finally revealed to us, it is something completely traveled and meaningless. Laboratory animals? Seriously? What the fuck? Were the characters dead? Was it the mother of the protagonist who created that island, after the supposed death of the students? But how is this possible ???
Nothing has a clear logic in this story.

Protagonism: The greatest power of protagonism that I have seen in my entire life. The MC only had to save a few people, so everyone could start saying: With your help, we can all leave this island. "But how did they come to this conclusion? For saving a flight attendant in the beginning? For serving as a human shield several times? What is the reason for this thinking? The answer is very simple: It is only the power of protagonism.


Characters forgive unforgivable acts: A character is almost raping the girl you like, but he didn't succeed because you showed up, so you're going to be upset and you're not going to forgive him for anything, right? Wrong again, the MC idiot simply forgives the person.


A guy went crazy on the island and killed many of his colleagues, you expect people to repudiate him and make him pay for his actions, right? NOT! They forgive! Yes, they forgive something as serious as someone killing several of their colleagues !!!
There are several scenes as it is in this manga, but the characters simply forget everything, as if it were something insignificant.


Conclusion: As you can see, my hatred is only great because of the damn characters that exist in this manga.

The manga may have instigated me a little, but it's not worth it. It's definitely not worth it, not with those damn revelations that were taken from the ass. Not with these SHIT characters !!
High points completely erase positive points that may (or may not) exist.

Well, I guess I don't even have to say whether or not I recommend this crap.


Score 3.

Cage of Eden isn't a great manga. If you're looking for a piece of art that will stay with you, this isn't it. That said, it can be an enjoyable manga, depending on your expectations. If you expect fanservice, look elsewhere. The art is thoroughly mediocre all the way through, and none of the fights or characters look believable or realistic. This is especially true of the 'monsters' on the island where the main characters are stranded. Many of them look like modern animals with extra parts taped on. If you're looking for a thrilling story with good drama and exciting pacing, read Monster instead. ... But if you're bored, you don't mind fanservice, and you're looking for a survival story that doesn't get into boring lurches, this is your manga. Unlike some better manga, Cage of Eden stays consistently mediocre all the way through. It's not great- but it's usually entertaining. Like fast food, Cage of Eden is meant to be consumed quickly, so that sloppy art and repetitive story lines don't get in the way of enjoyment.

(This review was originally in Spanish but does not leave xd)

I read this manga about 4 months ago, the scoop I liked a lot since I have always liked apocalyptic anime / manga but at the time I was advancing the chapters they became more harmful to me both as the protagonists and the situations in short Everyone praises the protagonist as if he were Jesus and when it is his past it became clear that the only remarkable thing he had was a bit of athletic ability, I also like to highlight the good as is the case of Yarahi, who was a good ... characters l manga can be reading to pass the time even though the ending made me feel like I was wasting my time

This is one of the best mangas i have read.

I am so impressed in the uniquness of this story line and how they consealed all the secreats to the ending till the actual ending. It pretty much kept me glued to the screen for 3 days straight the only time i left the laptop was to get food or use the bathroom.

The story line again wow im impressed it was so unique and definitely different to all the other mangas that i have read. The one thing that impressed me the most was it didnt keep focus on one character alone but showed the different ... views of all the other characters in the story. And best of all it just wasnt one specific genre of manga it included adventure, romance and a twist of physchological mind benders. When i read i imaging the scenes in my head like they are happening in real life and this really set my imagination going.

I realised when reading it that it has alot of nudity and very suggestive poses and scenes. this didnt bother me as much but it was overdone sometimes but it doesnt put down my veiwn on the manga.

* SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER *



On the negative side i was NOT impressed with the ending at all. after reading the last few chapters i was so caught up in the fact that i was going to learn abou the island and why they were there THEN to be completely kicked in the head with the ending they left it with. It left me angry and confused for days! was it a dream. did they leap in time. or were they clones placed there? GOD KNOWS! To be honest i was dissapointed with the ending it was like they ran out of ideas or they were just getting lazy towards the end.

But overall i recommend this to EVERYONE i honestly thought it was great.

i just finished reading the manga of this and i have to say it was amazing. It had everything i was looking for; from action and thriller to romance and suspence. it had an awesome survival concept and the story was pretty good. The manga is also very knowledgeable. It talks about many things you have probably never heard of, and it is very interesting. The main character was different and not the main stream stupid but strong type. The heroine was also pretty and strong. Overall this manga is one of the best i have read in a while and it was remarkably amusing.

Let me just say this before you continue reading my review. Cage of Eden, was one of the best thrills i've ever experienced in manga. I was totally compramised by it and im writing this review based on my fresh memory of marathoning 185 chapters of Cage of Eden in less than 20 hours.

Before proceeding to my review, I will be demonstraiting, pouring out my all my hates on this series. I will not be introducing who the fcking protagonist, antagnonist or characters are in this review. There is a highly reliable source of information provided at the description of the manga so stop being ... a lazy shit and read the fcking synopsis.

Pardon my informal language used in the introduction, however that is also part of my review. By my use of language, you can already tell how much of a let down Cage of Eden was. The review starts here:

Synopsis: Akira and his friends are on plane and suddenly without a goddamn reason, the plane starts to face heavy turbulance and everyone started panicing. Everyone was shitting their pants out. Akira and his friends were unseated during this event and therefore they were thrown around like some babies toy. A few moments later, Akira sees his childhood friend Rion being dragged into some super-space time vortex, he chances her and guess what? They TELIPORTED, HO MY GOD SO DAMN AMUSING RIGHT? Suddently out of goddamn nowhere, they teliported into some stupid unknown jungle, seperated and there were all fcking extinct animals chasing them like rats.

While in search for their classmates, they stumble accross many dangers, battling pre-historical animals in a FIST FIGHT. This is just going nowhere... it's just so goddamn stupid. Although it is, there was an magnetic factor in this manga that surprisingly, intrigued me in a few short chapters.

The tables turned, I was totally engulfed in reading this manga. There is NO ENDS to each arc. The action scene, (humans vs pre-historical monsters) was indeed admirable in an action manga, and the author himself took no second thoughts to kill of a side character eerie/gorily. You must be thinking, stupid reviewer (me), why should we feel affection for the side characters? TRUST ME YOU'LL GET SO DAMN ATTACHED TO THEM WHEN THEY DIE YOU'LL GOOGLE WHY THEY DIED yada yada blah blah blah no point continuing.

Now putting my hates aside, i'll now explain how this series is so captivating. Firstly, Yamada-sensei (Author) brilliantly integrated the best selling novel series; "The Lord of the Flies", and all time respectable animation series "Jurrassic Park". He compliled those two series into his manga brilliantly. Adding a little charm into it by crafting catchy female characters as well as enhancing it with a light ecchi slides.

Yes, the infamous Lord of the Flies.. majority of you would have heard of it from a teacher or seen it in bookstores. And yes, the novel series is just that good, the play stimulates the possible outcomes when KIDS start having their own COUNTRY, They kill each other, rape each other, betray each other bla bla bla go to an elementry school to find out yourself. (vulgar words ahead)

Basically, it was a masterpiece... UNTIL THE LAST CHAPTER, CHAPTER 185 CAME, IT WAS FINALLY THE END! EVERYHING WAS GOING TO BE REVIEWED! WHY WAS THERE A ISLAND FILLED WITH EXTINCED ANIMALS? HOW DID THEY GET THERE, WHY? WHEN? HOW? WHO? WHAT? WHATTT?!?!?!. I WAS BLOWN OFF, WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT? NONE OF THEM WERE ANSWERED.

Seriously I have no fucking idea of what happened next. The last 23 pages of the manga was just so fucking bad, it's even worst than getting played into the hands of my friends into watching boku no pico. I HAD EXTREMELY HIGH EXPECTATIONS, all those suspense, all those feels, tears, boners, laughs, salvation, hope all those perfect SCRIPTS, THE PERFECT AND CRAFTY CHARACTERS, THEY WERE ALL, FOR 4 YEARS OF SERIALIZATION PUT TO WASTE.

SUCH A LETDOWN, I COULD DIE ANY MOMENT. HURRRRRRRRRR, the author must've went brain dead towards the end. How in the fuck can he end an awesome series into oblivion with just 23 pages.

Nevertheless, this was one of the best manga's with one of the best plots i've ever seen and it did certainly revived my dead motivation to read manga. However... that ending... was just so unbearable that I had to let out all the feels in this so-called review. I'm not doing this to gain publicity or anything, im just expressing my crushed will to live.

This sucks.

Considered dropping this after 40 chapters but kept reading out of spite. Annoyed me enough to complain in a review.
The only redeeming parts of this manga are the 7/10 art and a decent concept it had. Those should be raising this to a 4/10... But they dont.

As the story and characters were horrible. Kinda weird how a plane can have so many compeletely flat characters, half of which are serial rapists, pedos, murderers or just your typical 10-14 year old superhumans.

The story consists of a few parts on repeat:
> Main group discussing the island
> A animal or a human attacks
... > Someone is killed/lost/poisoned
> MC or other main cast character makes a plan
> ???
> A bathing scene for fan service after victory (necessary to have atleast 3 in every volume)
> Repeat

When i do a review it's because i have things i want to get out for me. I invested a lot of time into this manga since it's 21 volumes.

There are various things i didn't enjoy from this manga.

The most important: If part of your interest to read this manga is to check out the ecchi, let me tell you calling this ecchi is an insult to the genre. If you are going to draw people naked why delete the nipples? you take the luxury to draw voluptuous women for the cover but the most you show inside is a panty and a ... bra.
The "ecchi" is scarse, WEAK AS FUCK, literally just because you show a fully clothed female from a lower angle and she has big tits you can call that ecchi? that is cheap and effortless. And on top of that when there is something it's nothing the author hasn't shown before. So it's repetitive.
Terrible, terrible ecchi on those terms.

Don't expect to identify with any of this characters because the are pathetic.
This is common sense. If you google "lost in island show" you are probably going to get a ton of shows ,maybe you watched a few or know a few. What is the biggest threat in those shows? THE PEOPLE.
The whole school wakes up on an island without rules. What is the first thing the protagonist and his group do? trust absoutely and without question in the word of complete strangers they just met 1 minute ago. And because of that bad things happen.
Why does that bother me? first, it shows lack of common sense. Second, it's a repeated case throughout the manga. Like this group of kids have amnesia and are stupid.

Akira the protagonist is as big of a pussy as Rito from To love ru, this guy can't look a female showing interest for him to the face without blushing, or being oblivious. A curious case for this manga, since the author was so invested in painting him as a pervert watching secret recordings of his female classmates in bikinis and lewding over them but when it's time for action he suddenly becomes the biggest homosexual.

The weak females constantly slow down the group and cause unnecessary bad situations. Like i said before the author puts the characters in situations that lack common sense. In many ways this happens repeteadly.
Maybe if it didn't have this kind of things the ending wouldn't have been rushed.

I didn't like the fate suffered from actual useful characters compared to the fate of the worst scum characers.

It has a rushed open ending.

Wouldn't read again.

This is my first review; I made my account specifically to review this manga after reading some of the others. I'll try to keep this review fairly brief.

I want to say right off the bat, if your main enjoyment of a series comes from a satisfying conclusion, you may be disappointed by Eden no Ori. I've not looked into the production of the series, but I've seen others allude to the author not being able to keep consistent funding towards the end of the series, and thus was forced to try to wrap it up as quickly as possible. *In my opinion*, I think the ... ending was handled very well considering the circumstances but it would have massively benefited from an additional volume or so of material to flesh out certain reveals and tie up loose ends. On to the review.

Story:

Eden no Ori is, at the outset and throughout most of the series, a very solid survival manga. The main cast have to deal with a number of obstacles and threats, including the "native" inhabitants of the island (the animals), other survivors, and even the environment (treacherous locations and flora alike). Many plot twists become very obvious in hindsight, but I was pleasantly surprised on numerous occasions by unpredictable events.
The biggest issue here is the ending; a wild ride for 170+ chapters ends very abruptly, leaving many loose ends untied and plot lines unexplored. The main appeal for me with the ending is the big twist (sounds like I'm spoiling it right? I promise you will never anticipate what actually happens.)

Characters:

The main cast consists of about 10 characters that are truly essential to the story, and a fair number of "extras"- characters that are needed just to fill out the "drone" or "fodder" archetype. The main characters are basically all charismatic and likeable in their own ways, though some may get on your nerves with seemingly stupid or illogical decisions (keep in mind, the vast majority of the cast is 14-15 years old, so youthful stupidity has its place here.) Most of the remainder of the cast occupy a comfortable position of tolerability. The MC, Sengoku Akira, has a certain spunk and charm to him that draws not only his fellow survivors, but also the reader firmly to his side. (I would also add that one of my favorite characters is the MC's best friend, Arita Kohei, whose side story was tragically axed in the end due to the lack of time to give the series the satisfying conclusion I so desperately wanted.)

Art:

The art is very enjoyable. If you are, ironically, not a fan of fanservice, there are a plentitude of scenes you won't like. If you do like fanservice, be prepared for a flood of it; nothing graphic as is standard in the genre, but very, very many gratuitous panty shots and bath scenes.
Drawn in typical shounen style, you could call it generic but charming. I would add that, with the exception of a sizeable number of the extras, most characters are instantly recognizable, which I consider to be a great accomplishment considering the vast majority of the cast are wearing the same school uniform.

In conclusion, Eden no Ori could be compared to being interrupted after hours of foreplay. The ending is sorely lacking, but at least everything leading up to it was fun.

(Additionally, this series tugged at my heartstrings with a few character deaths. Much of the main cast seems to wear a full suit of plot armor, but there are times when a beloved character meets a truly tragic fate unexpectedly. One in particular really broke my heart; if you read this series, you'll likely know which I'm talking about.)

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 ... presented in this series to be debatable).

+/- Fan-service is plastered all over this like grease; even someone as insensitive as me started to feel slightly overwhelmed. I see this manga is listed as 'ecchi' here and that's what it truly is.

- Shounen tropes, too much is simply too much. Once you get into the 'flow' of the author, you can start predicting a lot of things. You'll know when a character is about to die; you'll know when someone is about to get attacked; you'll know when a chapter is about to end in a cliffhanger. Despite being a mystery manga there are very few surprises; everything is foreshadowed, creating a feeling that the author is constantly holding you by the hand. This is not a good thing.
- Character development is abysmal. Most of the characters are like NPC's; completely meaningless unless the MC needs them for something. The character developments that do happen mostly involve deaths that don't really make you feel anything because that character was not that essential to begin with.
You will also probably notice that most deaths involve males as the women are too busy joining MC's harem.
- Despite tons of ecchi content prepare yourself for teeth-grinding frustration as the MC and his #1 wife candidate repeatedly flirt with each other and tease the readers about some potential development- before finally returning back to square one. Repeat this enough times and I was ready to skip these sequences.
It's like watching Ash on his eternal never-ending adventure in the Pokemon titles.
- The series got axed as I mentioned before and as a result the ending is a hot mess. Prepare to the fact that many of the mysteries will remain forever unresolved. Reading this to the very end left me with just an empty, unsatisfied feeling.

Thank you for reading my thoughts.

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 ... wants to find out is never disclosed or shown. Personally I enjoyed reading in the beginning - so much so I expected an amazing ending; although was I got was just more mystery rather than closure. Multple loose ends as well. 5/10.

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 ... later characters far less believable.
However, these things would have been fine, if the ending had not been so awful. I have never been so disappointed with the ending of anything in my life. It was terrible, and very obviously rushed.
While I would have recommended Eden no Ori when I began reading it, I can understand why it lost a lot of fans as it went on, and this is probably what led to such a disappointing ending. I probably wouldn't recommend it having read it through.
