Title: Cage of Eden Volume 17
Series: Cage of Eden - 17th volume
Author: Yoshinobu Yamada
Read Before: no
Comments: In an effort to ramp up the stakes and put the group into more dangerous encounters, the author has ended up throwing all sense of realism out the window and just throws in what is effectively a mythical creature. Yarai and Sengoku are thrown into a battle to the death that was teased constantly in previous volumes but this is apparently not the one that was envisioned by Mami. The encounter with the mythical beast seems very one-sided as the beast is overpowered yet of course, no one yet dies after seemingly being hit by some serious blows. The ending is on a cliffhanger but by this point, you know that no more characters are going to die and it’s really just how they will defeat the monster. The design of the monster is exaggerated and looks weird. Volume 17 takes Cage of Eden from a story with a low possibility of happening to something that’s quite improbably now.
Rating: 6/10
