One of the frustrations I frequently run into with the manga I enjoy is the long periods between releases. Books with as much detail as Vagabond, Blade of the Immortal and Eden aren’t exactly rushed out the door. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, but it's a bitch on the memory. So on coming back to Eden the characters are not strangers for the most part; I just have to get to know them again. What makes Eden so great is how satisfying that process really is.
The book opens with one of the exciting action scenes that help make Eden one of the best-looking books out there. Cool robots, big guns, and an unflinching eye to the violence of the world. Good cops are torn apart by .50-caliber rounds while a cyborg with a couple big knives is lopping off arms—left and right.
