Sommaire
Just a few hours ago, Akira Sengoku was having fun with his classmates on their flight back to Japan from a school trip in Guam. Now, he finds himself all alone in a jungle after the plane mysteriously crashed. While searching for survivors, his surroundings become increasingly suspicious as he stumbles across various animal species he has never seen before. Finally, he manages to find two survivors—his classmate Shirou Mariya and cabin attendant Kanako Oomori—being attacked by a two-meter tall bird!

After barely managing to escape with their lives, Shirou uses his computer to pinpoint their exact location and shed some light on the strange creatures that they have encountered. What he discovers is beyond anything they expected—they have crashed on an island in the Pacific that should not exist, inhabited by animals that supposedly went extinct millions of years ago.

Eden no Ori tells the story of Akira and the other survivors' struggles on an island all too eager to see them disappear. With predators lurking around every corner, Akira and his friends must use all their wits to survive and unravel the mysteries of the island's origin.

Ok i see a lot of Reviews who are going for all or nothing.
In my point of view this is just wrong. This Manga has a lot of nice Moments and also a lot of trash Moments. But lets start first with the Story.

Story:
The Story is not very new for everyone who has watched "Lost". But it is still not totally bad. The protagonist is with his class on an airplane crash. But everyone of them survived (lol rly... everyone in this plane). After that they are on an island that shouldn't exist. And on top of that there are a lot of extincted animals who want to kill them all. Well not the best place to life. But the story is the most time very well written. You want to know the most what is going to happend next or how will they survive this. But the story goes all the time on and they start to clearing the mysteries from the island. And the most of it fit very good together. Until the last 10 or 15 Chapters. Cause man the Manga was cancelles so it must finished. What was in my eyes very bad. So the anime starts great and go on very good. It makes you addicted to it and than... Well the last Chapters are made of giant plotholes and stupid supernatural things. Because all the time supernatural things are explained with sience. Ok not how it would be in real but when you dont know that much you will believe it. But the last chapters... puuh. There have a lot of supernatural stuff and it seems very stupid. And all at all the ending is very bad so i can only give 7 points. I think with a fully completed end with... 20 or 30 more chapters it would be perfect.
SO 7 Points.

Art:
The art is nothing very special. I have see a lot who was worse but also a lot who was better. A big problem for me was, that sometimes Characters looked very similar to me. Like rion (the female protagonist) and Yuki. They are so similar sometimes i even get confused. But there are also some epick moments at all at all it is not that bad. Oh but i forget. Sometimes the horro parts were at the kind of art very good. I rly liked it. Now only from the art. So i give it 6 points.

Charaters:
The Charakters are also not that good. The Protagonist is a bit too good. He is brave and clever and very strong... well a little bit too strong i think. Then we have there the mister perfect "I kill everybody" guy Yarai who rly killed a horde of carzy apes with some coins. He flipped them so hard and hurt them o.O
Also we habe the genius who cant do eanything than explain and get good ideas. And know a lot.
Oh and have i said, that there are only like 2 girls who can actually do something. And no it is not the female protagonist. It is Maya and the other is Aya. Well and i dont even know the names of the other girls. Oh we have there the future looking girl who never use her abillitys usefull even when they are... somehow working. As you see the charakters are not that good. But some of them are very good made and at some moments between the charakters I rly liked the Charakterplay. I think the best Charakter was Kouhei Arita.
SPOILER!!!!
Who get after killed the pilot in hatred insane and also had very strong mental problems because of a demage to his head.He tried to calm down and just move on but he went slightly insane and started to murder everyone. Even when he get in the end abnormal powers who are just stupid i liked him.
SPOILER!!!!

And the other Charakter i rly liked was Hades. And yeah we know nothing about him but i still liked him. I would rly love to know more about him but the thing that we know nothing is very interesting. We dont even know if he appeared with all the others from the plane even when it is the most logical thing.

So 6 Points for the Charakters because not the worst but way too low.

Enjoyment:
The enjoyment is great. Even the Horror moments. I must say i am a person who HATES horror. But in this Manga it was great for me. So even wen u dont like it you can risk a look. On the other hand when you expact very high horro i think you will be disappointed. But this Manga had a great enjoyment all in all. Because there is always a new problem that they must solve to survive. The one time it is a great animal who is attacking them, the next time a disease and the next time it is a evil guy who wants to kill them all. The Manga goes on the most time and pull you all the time with. I wanted to always read the new chapter and see what happend. And even when there are just riduculus scenes like beating a gigant 3 meter tall tiger with a pair of keys to death it is very cool.

So 9 Points fot the enjoyment.

Overall:
Overall this is a great Manga. It has a very bad Charakterdesign but when this is not very eccential for you you can just ignore it. The story is very good until the end. When u hate bad endings who are ruin the manga you should defenitly not read it. When it is ok for you you should totally read it. Because of the ending the the poorly designed charakters i mus give some points away but the manga is very good a enjoyment so my points are 8.

Sry for the bad english. Not my natural language. I hope you could understand me.

A 21st century Japanese apocalypse/horror (or more accurately, "no hope") manga; your first thought? Tits. Your second? Ass. This is the drawbacks to all those fan services, those juicy, bouncing, voluptuous drawbacks. Something about the end of the world or death, and women (who's "accessories" make her fit more on a farm in montana than an urban Japanese environment), make the Japanese (and probably tons of Americans) scream MOAR!!! Does this honestly make sense? If the world ended, wouldn't small girls with washboards survive better? So shouldn't all horror apocalypse stories star creepy old lolicons and doll-size girls instead of reckless selfless and otheradjective-less guys and his herd of cows?

These were some of my first thoughts when I read the synopsis for Cage of Eden; When in the first chapter, the guys are watching a video of their classmates in swimsuits. I thought, this is just another fan service filled action, adventure, comedy, romance, horror manga.

And man, was i wrong.

It was strange to think that I read a manga, where the Male:Female ratio was 3:2, and not 1:20. It was strange that even though the main girl has tits, she shows them ONLY when she bathes (BLASPHEMY!!). I'm going to make comparisons to Highschool of the Dead, not only because of the similarity of the story's feel, but because they counter each other in so many ways, and in the end, i still like CoE better.

Plot: Cage of Eden blends a good amount of action, adventure, and horror. Comedy and romance are the bench players, chilling out, rooting for the team, and every once in awhile they come out and play. CoE blends these genres very well and there are good timings of romance and comedy. When HSotD characters are surrounded by zombies, their first thought is "Will so&so fuck me if i save her?". HSotD had too much melodrama. It made me think, people are fighting for their lives and your trying to figure out which pair of breasts likes who? Cage of Eden focuses on survival, and only throws comedy/romance in when completely necessary and in times when everything is fine or when it fits. My favorite element of CoE; however, is the horror. When your surrounded by zombies, but there's a military force somewhere, it offers some sanctuary. CoE doesn't excel because it's on an island with tons of extinct monsters, it excels because of several scenes that just tell you, "it's fucking useless, you'll die here".

*Mild Spoiler, but a spoiler nonetheless*
The only signs of salvation CoE every offers, are often shut-down immediately. Settlements of people often go from normal, to insanely dangerous in several chapters. One of the most horrifying moments was very early on, when the protagonists and several other students try to sail to safety. The protagonists are betrayed and kicked off the boat where they return to the island. The others sail to a 10 ft rock, tricked by a mirage that caused them to believe it was an island. They are then eaten by a extinct sea monster. Not that scary?

Spoiler End

CoE isn't BOO horror, it's that creeping horror. It's like watching a slasher flick; everybody knows the killer, but what can you do? CoE gives that feeling, that you can't escape, you'll never be safe, only death is salvation

The story is a blend of plot and character driven arcs, with only one big goal in mind for our protagonists: Survival. There aren't any outstanding characters, but each character has something to offer to the groups overall survival. None are sitting eye candy, they all work, and there isn't a character i feel you can call a waste of space. Arcs are interesting and are filled with mystery. There are some good twists to the plot, which simply add to the terror.

Art: I had a hard time believing the synopsis when i read it. The characters look fragile and Yuyu hakusho-ish, but unlike Yuyu, most people who died weren't highschool girls/boys who were eaten and stomped and brutally murdered. I can best compare it to happy tree friends, characters are simple and very shojo looking, only to get fucking chomped on as a midnight snack. Animals look great and detailed as well as death sequences. I can't tell if the animals that show up are real or not, but the author definitely did his research.

A great series altogether, action is around every corner as well as horrifying deaths or monsters. Not alot of fan service, but fan service is either something you look for or don't care about. I found the amount here is satisfactory without it turning into full on porn. Cage of Eden proves that putting a body and brain behind those tits can still make a series great.

Story: 9
Art: 9

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, encounter the island's less than friendly inhabitants in the form of various grotesque beast creatures, deal with various people's psychological breakdowns, and figure out the big mystery behind the exact circumstances of their predicament. It's an inelegant mish-mash of the franchises I've mentioned before, while the fanservice (both the violent and lewd nature) could get hilariously over the top: nothing depicted the manga's tone better than the panel where a big wolf thingy devours someone's crippled body, while on the foreground there's a huge pantyshot of a terrified girl.And yet, I'd be lying if I say Cage of Eden isn't an engrossing read. The psychological/emotional level is mostly skin-deep, but the main cast of characters is likable enough to root for, and Yoshinobu Yamada really excels in stringing a series of cliffhangers one after another and a pile of intriguing mysteries on top of each other...

This, unfortunately, brings us to by far the Cage of Eden's biggest flaw. Normally, I don't like spoiling or even hinting a mystery/suspense series too much, but in this case it felt absolutely imperative for a potential reader to know what they're getting into. So, here goes: Cage of Eden's ending is wildly unsatisfying, left a lot of plot threads unresolved, answered the central mystery in a baffling manner, and in general displayed a shocking lack of long-term planning.Some series could get away or even enhanced by an open and ambiguous ending, but something like CoE really has no business playing "the journey mattered more than the destination" card. A lack of proper resolution is a death knell to a series so reliant on clifhangers, and as it is, most readers would soldier through 21-volume worth of constant build-ups and excessive fanservice hoping for a big pay-off that doesn't exist.

A bit of a shame, really. Cage of Eden is trashy as hell, but most of the times it's a fun and exciting kind of trashy. It deserves a better closing, at the very least, and I could only wonder if perhaps too much energy is spent on drawing all the boobs instead of, you know, making a plot outline.
