Series: Cage of Eden - 5th volume
Author: Yoshinobu Yamada
Read Before: no
My Comments: A few important events happen in this volume, it seems that each chapter pushes the characters into different environments so that by the time you’ve finished the volume, it feels as if it has they have experience a lot since the beginning. There were some questionable actions by characters; it’s hard to decide whether Ko-Chan’s actions were justifiable or rational. He was an odd character who isn’t likable, yet isn’t bad either, just weird. Then there’s the idea of building a ‘country’, not sure if it could have been a translation problem but they way they put forward the concept and everyone so readily accepting it, was strange. More and more extinct animals keep showing up, you can start to see a pattern. The characters meet up with another group, something happens (for example, the other group dies), and then they part ways again. I wish that the mystery of the island was dwelled on more as it would be really interesting to find why this island existed in the first place.
