Review
"* "[Endo] conjures a post-apocalyptic aura of near palpable mystery." - Booklist * "Soul-searching and philosophical, Eden is a story that explores the instinct to survive, the extremes humans will go to do so, and above all, ultimately this story may be about the power of love." - Active Anime * "Endo succeeds with probably the most impressive debut volume [of] this year. This one goes straight to the top of the "must buy" list." - animeondvd.com"
Product Description
In the tradition of cyberpunk classic "Akira" comes "Eden", a story about a boy's survival in a post-apocalyptic world where problems are solved with bullets, love is bought, and his only companion is a cybernetic killing-machine called Cherubim! The planet has been devastated by the pandemic Closure virus, leaving what remains of a crumbling society in the hands of a sinister paramilitary group known as the Propater. When young Elijah Ballard is captured by a group of mercenaries while on a quest to find his long-lost mother, he realises his adventures have only just begun...Philosophical, heartbreaking, action-packed and beautifully illustrated, "Eden" truly is paradise on earth. It is published in Japanese right-to-left reading format. It is for adults only!
