Cage of Eden
Manga Plus
By Jezreel Cabalonga
Synopsis
Cage of Eden starts off with the class of Sengoku Akira (main
protagonist), on the way home from an overseas field trip
on a plane with a collective 334 passengers. However what
started as a normal trip home for our protagonists turns
sour when they crash to what they believe to be the middle
of the ocean, but instead of the ocean, they find themselves
separated on a mysterious island filled with extinct animals.
The story gets darker as they start to realize that the island
has more dangers than they assumed, and their first priority
should be to simply survive rather than to get off said island.
The rather unique dangers the characters face, along
with the tinge of mystery piques your interest straight from
the start, making you anticipate more. As you read along it
never disappoints, giving new thrills and mystery with every
turn of a page.

Characters
Akira Sengoku, usually regarded as a troublemaker, was forced to
face harsh reality when he woke up after the plane crash separated
from his companions other than the ‘genius’ Shirou
Mariya, and the flight attendant Kanako Oomori. He
shows the ability to lead and strength to survive early
on, with his first goal to find his childhood friend,
Akagami Rion. This is changed once he encounters
others and realizes that he can’t leave them
behind, so he resolves to find a way for everyone
to survive.
Kouichi Yarai, seen as a delinquent by
most people, isn’t bothered by the dangers of
the island and seems to have no trouble with
it as he thinks of it more of a ‘life without
boredom. His constant companion is their
sensei, someone who believes in Yarai and
seems to completely trust him. She eventually breaks
through to him and as the story goes on, he’s seen to be someone
who won’t let those around him to die.
Conclusion
Overall, I have to say Cage of Eden is one the best manga I’ve
read, so if you’re asking me to rate it, it’s 10 out of 10. I don’t
recommend it if you tend to be uncomfortable with blood and
character deaths. I’d say this is best for those who like thrills/
adventure/mystery and it’s absolutely NOT for kiddies.
