Re: Eden, It's an Endless World

Does anyone know if this is being actively scanlated in anyway? Aside from this torrent from volumes 1-12, I havent been able to find any other source.

don't ask stupid-things like these you're just pissing off the Manga Editors and hence delay the progress!and you're question is already been answered in the thread!!!

Re: Eden, It's an Endless World

Yea in May dumbass, which is hardly current if you ask me. And if just simply asking if something has been scanlated pisses off the Manga Editors, then there must be something wrong with them. Its not like im impatient and begging for them to hurry up, I was just curious if anyone was actively Editing. I dont see why anyone would have been offended by my question.

So may I ask again, is anyone currently Editing this? I would just like to know if anyone is continuing with it, or if everyone who did dropped it, etc. I think this walking on eggshells thing that you manga fans have with the Manga Editors is stupid. I mean, or course it would be annoying if you heard some kid beg for their weekly release of Naruto because it didnt come out on friday (and its saturday), but if a series hasnt been updated in a while and it was previously being worked on, I dont see the problem in asking for an update. If you dont like Editing, dont do it, I just dont want to see bitching everytime a Manga Editor is asked about a questionable release. Its like asking the waitress after an hour when the food is going to come out. Its common sense, give me a break.

Re: Eden, It's an Endless World

According to Baka-Updates (http://www.mangaupdates.com/releases.html?search=930&stype=series), the last translation was by Manga Underground on 11/28/07. I guess it means that it is actively (well, not very active imo) being scanlated, but is probably not one of the group's primary concerns at the moment.

I would like to read this manga because it sounds really promising, but we all know that there is nothing more aggravating than an unfinished story (no offense to translators/Manga Editors atm). Maybe ill just read it up to that point anyways, it seems that people like it a lot as it is.

It's still actively being scanlated. Just go to manga underground's forum. They have updates about the current status.

So tell me...what were your favourite parts of the manga...
For me amongst many things I loved Kenji's story from the beginning til the end...and I just love how Enoah was given spotlight in the end...

But the humor...and even more the sex-related humor...tha was fantastic...French style breakfast was hilarious

My favorite parts were the down time/slice-of-life stuff. The character interactions during normal circumstances. Elijah's relationship with Helena and Arona. I think the down time is very important and it complements the intense action.

And continuing from what you were talking about in my rec thread:

Spoiler: big time spoiler

Mana's death BLEW MY MIND! I genuinely felt sick when it happened. I felt dirty and scared. I don't know why, but I was really affected by that scene. When Elijah grabbed her hand and her head fell off....just wow. The children death in general was disturbing to me. When that Mexican boy's little sister got her head blown off by a sniper, I was pretty shocked too. And when the little girl was forced to walk through a mine field in Wycliffe's flashback.

Spoiler

The reason why Mana's death was unexpected is that I didn't think that the hero has any room for character development...and I think I was right....after her death, the focus shifted on his father, so in the end, as opposed to other tragic and gruesome deaths, Mana's death served no purpose, other than pure shock I guess...

I felt that it was a pointless death, something out of the blue, and I sort of admired the author who had the courage to kill her...because I think that by making me feel that the death was pointless he achieved his goal...because the main theme of the manga is the pointlessness of death...

Mod question: do we have to use spoiler tags?

I guess we don't have to use spoilers, though

Spoiler

Mana's death

is something I wouldn't want to accidentally hear about if I was a new reader checking out this thread for the first time.

Spoiler

Hmm.....I agree with you that death is pointless, especially murder, but Mana's death did impact the story and Elijah, so I wouldn't say her death was pointless in that sense or that it was just for shock value. Elijah's goal for most of the manga was to get his sister back, and when he finally thought he succeeded, he actually failed. People fail in real life. That's why I liked that death scene so much. The mangaka allowed for his protagonist to fail at being the hero.

Also, I don't really agree that Elijah had no development. He definitely had development throughout the course of the manga, and while his development after his sister's death may not have been profound, he definitely changed as a character. He was negatively affected by his sister's death and it caused him to turn into a heroin addict. Not a positive change, but still a change nonetheless. After that, with help, he was able to get over his addiction, and start a family.

On an unrelated note, I just bought volumes 1-13 of this manga and I am really happy to add it to my collection. Now I can only pray that Dark Horse will release the last 5 volumes so I can complete it.
