Title: 7 seeds
Author: Nakamura Yoshiki
Genre: Adventure, Josei, Psychological, Romance, Apocalypse
Status: Ongoing
Year: 2002
Publisher: Shogakukan, Pika
Current Scanlation Groups: Tsukihana Scans, Rain Over Paradise
Summary by Mangaupdates (http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=548):
Scientists had predicted this disaster, and in response, the leaders of every country met to develop a plan for human survival before the meteor hit. The 7Seeds project was developed out of this meeting. Each country froze a number of young healthy people, which allowed them to survive the meteor. After the computer determined that Earth was once again safe for human life, it released them into the world.
The Japanese government created five groups of survivors: Winter group, Spring group, Summer group A, Summer group B, and Fall group. Each group consisted of seven members and one guide. The guide carried small tubes of poison on their necks to allow them to end their lives if their situation became unbearable. The Japanese government prepared seven "Fuji" as refuges for the groups. In each Fuji, the group would find seeds and numerous books instructing them on survival in the wilderness.
7 Seeds won the 2007 Shogakukan Manga Award for shoujo manga.
My thoughts:
I'm surprised there is no thread for that manga since I barely slept the last two nights before I catch the last chapter releases.
That is my first Josei, and I must said Tamura Yumi made a really good job to attract boys to her side. After all the apocalypse theme is an all time favorite from seinen. Even if sometime I wonder how they can travel around Japan so fast, it is only for the benefit of the plot. The presentation of the 5 seven seeds teams in particular is really well made (special mention for Team winter). The romance side of the Josei adds originality to an overused theme. I will follow this serie with real enthusiasm. And I hope some of MH members will join me.
