Other people who have reviewed this manga have often compared it to Highschool of the dead. I don't disagree that it's similar but I can't fully agree either. If I had to choose something to compare this manga to, It would be The walking dead. I know that The walking dead is NOT a manga so therefore I will not talk about it too much. And when I say The walking dead I mean not the film serie but the magazine. So in some way, it's a manga but not from Japan.
When I read this manga I got the same feeling as when I read The walking dead. It's like the same setting. Let me explain:
The protagonist woke up in a new world (In Cage of eden it is an isle and in The walking dead it's an ruined city/world) and the protagonist need both to find his other friends and survive in this new environment. So far it's very similar to both The walking dead, Highschool of the dead and Cage of eden. In Highschool of the dead (ohh and by the way, I have not read the manga, only watched the anime) and Cage of eden the protagonist is useless in the way that he is not smart and strong but have creativity (but in the The walking dead Rick, the protagonist was and is a badass cop). In all the three mangas/magazines the protagonist becomes the leader very soon in the story.
So the thing that was similar was the settings (survival), environment (isle or a ruined world) protagonist (leader) and the mystic (why all this have happened and why they is their in the first place).
Now I will talk a little more only about Cage of eden. I reallly liked the mystery feeling that you have the whole series (except in the end but I will not talk about that, spoilers you now). You don't know where they is or why and and you keep on reading because you want to find out. As you progress, the story leaves more and more hint about the history of the island but you will of course know everything so you keep on reading.
I can't say the ending was really bad but it was not so good, it was actually a disappointment in some way. Everything was like perfect before the three last chapters but well, I can live with the ending so it's still worth to read the manga.
