History Manga / CageOfEden

* Fanservice: There are many PantyShot and bath scene (but with BarbieDollAnatomy).

* CluelessChickMagnet:
** Akira, as highlighted in chapter 167, as he doesn’t seem much aware of the large female attention he gets.
** Mariya too, surprisingly enough. When the girls had a little game where they said which boy they'd like to spend the night with, he got six votes out of sixteen.

* CutShort: [[spoiler: The ending is rushed and it has too many plot holes. They leave the ending without any explanation, and there are characters like Hades who never revealed their identities.]]

* BuxomIsBetter: Several of the characters have large bosoms. Especially considering that most of them are in high school.

%%* CutShort

* Fanservice: There are many PantyShot e Bath scene (but with BarbieDollAnatomy).

* TheUnreveal: [[spoiler: The manga never explains if they're actually clones, used technology to bring them into the future, or them ending in that future was just a mere coincidence]].
** [[spoiler: Even Hades's identity remain unknow]].

* RecycledInSpace: {{Lost}}: The Manga, at least at first glance. This is in no way detrimental to the series however.

* OutdoorBathPeeping: Akira gets a glimpse of Oomori bathing in a river. [[spoiler:He later gets a clear view on Mami, as well.]]

%%* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler: Zaji]].

%%* TheShortGuyWithGlasses: Mariya.

** Then again, there's prehistoric birds such as ''Gastornis''.

** Segawa. To the point where [[spoiler: some of the boys believe that's why. Yarai and Kurusu haven't hooked up in the finally--she's always there.]]

* ActionGirl: Miyauchi. The other girls aren't quite at her level, but they hold themselves pretty well for people without formal training.

** [[spoiler:Kouhei]]. [[invoked]] After realizing he has crossed the MoralEventHorizon, he goes on a killing spree and convinces [[spoiler:four of his group]] to adopt the same mentality as he did. Once he meets Akira, he regrets what he has done. As a flash flood threatens everyone’s safety, [[spoiler:the group of followers]] disregard his advice and drown. [[spoiler:Kouhei]] leads Akira and his group to safety, and subverting the trope, he chose to [[RedemptionEqualsDeath stay behind]].

* MaleGaze: Even in the scenes in which the protagonists are attacked by beasts, the author does not forget to frame the backside of the girls with many PantyShot. [[http://i27.mangareader.net/cage-of-eden/3/cage-of-eden-347791.jpg See]
%%* MassTeleportation

%%** Akira qualifies too.

%%* CrapsackWorld

%%* {{Determinator}}: Akira, and his team by extension.

%%* {{Dojikko}}: Oomori was one at the beginning of the series, but has since TookALevelInBadass.

* Fanservice: There are many PantyShot e Bath scene.

* GainaxEnding: See NoEnding.

%%* PhotographicMemory: Hatsuse Shizuka

%%* SexyStewardess: Oomori.

%%** [[spoiler: Hades's identity]].

%%* GeniusBruiser: Yarai himself.

%%* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters

%%* MaleGaze

%%* {{Meganekko}}: Kusuru-sensei.

%%* OlderThanTheyLook: Several of the students. Especially Yarai.

* ActionGirl: Miyauchi, full stop. The other girls aren't quite at her level, but they hold themselves pretty well for people without formal training.
* AdultsAreUseless: With the single exception of Oomori, who has useful first aid skills.
** Also, the vast majority of the male adults are creepy perverts. The school boys are perverts too but the adults are far more likely to [[AttemptedRape take it too far]]. The age difference between luster and lusted-after often doesn't help in the creepiness stakes.
** Kokonoe Ugen, the science teacher, is an exception to both the "creepy pervert" and "useless" rules. Although he hasn't had too much time to show off, he has used his skills to make a few good explosives.
* [[spoiler:AltumVidetur: "Isurugi Miina, Requiescat In Pace" (Rest In Peace). Anyone who has played the [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed Assassin's Creed]] series will see this straightaway.]]
* [[spoiler: AlternateTimeline: While it had been heavily implied that they were actually in [[BadFuture the future]], Chapter 166 provides the biggest proof of this so far in the series, when Segawa notices the real Miina's drawings of one of the creatures, and realizes she's holding an old and weathered version of it that she had found somewhere else in the island. In Chapter 169, Rei realizes that one of the cars in the final tower is a Yotsubishi, but can't recognize the specific car. Chapter 182 confirms it]].
** [[spoiler: MassTeleportation]]

* BackFromTheDead: Subverted with [[spoiler:Kouhei]] on the “cursed mountain”.
** [[spoiler:Though a recent chapter reveals he wasn't as dead as previously assumed.]]
* BadAss: ''Yarai''. He once had to fend off ''three'' [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalicothere chalicotheres]]. While carrying someone over his shoulder. '''[[ImprovisedWeapon With c]][[ImprobableWeaponUser ar keys]]'''. The only damage he took was from being smashed into a tree to stop them from attacking the rest of his group. It broke three of his ribs. His response was roughly "[[{{Determinator}} Pfft, only]] ''[[{{Determinator}} three ribs]]''"? He made them run like pansies by ripping off one of their claws.

** Averted many times over the course of the manga, though; many of the girls take bruises and cuts during battles with the wildlife, and many more are killed in [[{{Squick}} horrible fashions]].

* BigEater: Akira.
* [[spoiler: BittersweetEnding: At the end of the manga, there have been several casualties for the passengers (including Zaji and Tooru). Their parents and relatives died, believing their loved ones died on a plane crash. But the group is still alive and strong, ready to set sail from the island to return to the outside world.]]

* ClingyJealousGirl: Rion doesn't like the fact that other girls are attracted to Akira as well.

* CluelessChickMagnet: Akira, as highlighted in chapter 167.

*** Though there are hints that Mariya was a 'dummy vote' or 'non-answer', from the reactions of the girls. Considering he's one of the few guys to not perv and have no romantic moments whatsoever, this would make sense.
**** There was a 'non-answer' at the bottom of the page. Mariya got those votes honestly, which makes complete sense if you remember intelligence is highly valued in Japanese society. Also, the fan theory is that he's so popular because he's not a pervert.
* CrapsackWorld

* DarkestHour: [[spoiler: They have finally have a decent plan to stop Cerberus and another monster appears. Kouhei prevents said monster from ruining the plan by dragging it underground (though no one sees him properly and the people used as bait are burning their shirts to get Cerberus's attention back.]]
* DeathByFlashback: [[spoiler: Tooru.]]
** [[spoiler: Akira's mother and Miina's grandfather.]]
* DeathWorld: The island.
* {{Delinquents}}: Both friendly and unfriendly ones.
* {{Determinator}}: Akira, and his team by extension.
* DirtyCoward: Suzuki. Though he seems to be [[CharacterDevelopment getting better]], if Chapter 150 is any indication.
* {{Dojikko}}: Oomori was one at the beginning of the series, but has since TookALevelInBadass.
* [[DroppedABridgeOnHim Dropped a Ceiling on Him]]: [[spoiler:Tooru.]]

* EverythingIsTryingToKillYou: On this island, even the flora is dangerous. Plants almost killed the group twice.

* EyeScream: The characters fall victim to a disease that causes their eyes to become bloodshot, and in the terminal stages to become so swollen with blood that they burst.

* FanDisservice: [[spoiler:Kurusu, down to her underwear, for her makeshift surgery.]]

* FriendToAllLivingThings: Well, there's not exactly very many friendly beasts on the island. But the one species so far that hasn't tried to kill the humans, the little flying squirrel things, really like Oomori, to the point that one has willingly become her pet.

* [[spoiler: GainaxEnding]]
* GeniusBruiser: Yarai himself.

* [[spoiler: GoneHorriblyWrong: Turns out the whole island used to be a large research facility dedicated to reviving extinct animals.]]

* [[InfiniteFlashlight Infinite Laptop]]: Mariya's laptop never runs out of juice, even though he spends most of his waking hours using it. In chapter 54, it is finally subverted when the mystery of its power source is revealed to be a simple foot pedal peripheral that Mariya conveniently took to Guam instead of power plug adaptors. Where he kept the power adapter is another question.

* JerkAss: Suzuki, to the point where fans were actually ''happy'' [[spoiler:when he was attacked by the bird.]]
** Several fans were disappointed in chapter 93 when he was [[spoiler: attacked by ANOTHER species of bird, but was then spat out.]]
* KarmaHoudini: So, so many. A couple of the biggest examples may be [[spoiler: Hades and Kouhei. Somewhat averted because they exile themselves from the rest of the group and have to fend for themselves. But they don't really suffer that much punishment for the large number of people they killed.]]

* KissOfLife: After rescuing Rion from drowning, Akira has to practice mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on her.
** Rion later returns the favor by giving him the antidote to a poisonous berry through mouth-to-mouth.
* LaserGuidedKarma / KarmicDeath: It’s a sound tactic when surviving in Cage of Eden to not do anything evil. Cases include:

*** Additionally, the more evil a person is, the higher the chance of their [[{{Gorn}} gruesome deaths]] being depicted on-screen. Nicer characters usually get GoryDiscretionShot or NeverFoundTheBody.

* LeftHanging: [[spoiler: The Manga abruptly ended after 182 chapters when the author was pressured to finish. While the mystery of the island was solved, '''HOW''' the survivors wound up there was never explained, along with many minor mysteries surrounding the last few chapters. Kouhei and Hades's fate (and the latter's identity) was, likewise, left in the air (though it's implied that they were simply left behind on the island, perhaps symbolic of how they can't rejoin civilization). ]]

* LikeBrotherAndSister: Akira and Rion, though the {{UST}} between them [[EveryoneCanSeeIt is obvious to everyone else]]. They have displayed outright affections for each other very early in the story, with each initiating their own [[DudeShesLikeInAComa kiss scene]] (even if it was to save the [[KissOflife other's life]], its easy to tell that they wanted it). Its just that, whenever asked directly, they [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend deny it]]. [[spoiler:Both are starting to acknowledge their feelings for each other in later chapters.]]

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters

* MaleGaze
* [[spoiler:MegaCorp: Spiral]].
* {{Meganekko}}: Kusuru-sensei.
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: [[spoiler:Nishikiori, full stop. Except he doesn't have a doctorate, nor is he a doctor.]]

* NeverFoundTheBody: [[spoiler:Zaji. Kouhei as well, although [[NotQuiteDead there's a reason for that]].]]
* [[spoiler: NoRomanticResolution: The final chapter doesn't give any clear indications of romance.]]
** [[spoiler: This is applied to Akira and Rion. At the last chapter, it's cleverly drawn that it looks like they might be holding hands. Even then, it's very unclear and can't be considered a "resolution."]]

* OlderThanTheyLook: Several of the students. Especially Yarai.

* [[spoiler:PeopleJars[=/=]DesignerBabies: All the extinct animals in the island.]]

* PhotographicMemory: Hatsuse Shizuka

* RagtagBunchOfMisfits
* [[spoiler: RapeAsDrama: Oomori's senpai's fate is a particularly nasty one.]]

* TheResenter: Shuu Hikime.

* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler: Zaji]].

* [[spoiler: ScienceIsBad: Subverted. Turns out all the extinct animals were revived via genetic experiments. It's at first implied that they broke out and killed the researchers there, but it's later revealed that things didn't go wrong until the researchers were poisoned and the animals were released (since nobody was guarding them anymore). It's implied that the killers did this because they felt like they had intruded on God's territory. So it's less of science being bad, and more like fanatics believing that it is.]]
** [[spoiler: Also worth mentioning is that even after the animals were released, they were on a relatively uninhabited island. It didn't really do anything bad until the plane crashed there.]]

* SexyStewardess: Oomori.
* TheShortGuyWithGlasses: Mariya

* SugarAndIcePersonality: [[spoiler: Yarai, see JerkassFacade]].

* TimeSkip: [[spoiler: nearly every chapter towards the end]]
* TookALevelInBadass: Everyone, and especially Oomori (who at first was scared of a very small furry animal, and later [[spoiler:takes a stab wound from Kouhei and then tries to write it off like it's nothing.]]) She willingly swims out to save Mariya from drowning.
** Mariya, [[spoiler: after Zaji's death]].

** [[spoiler: Hades's identity]].

* UsedToBeASweetKid: [[http://www.mangahere.com/manga/cage_of_eden/v16/c142/8.html Yarai]].
* TheVamp: [[spoiler:Kawana Kotomi]]
* [[spoiler: VictoriousChildhoodFriend: Rion....maybe.]]
* WaifProphet: [[spoiler:The real "Miina"]]
* [[WHAMEpisode WHAM Chapter]]:

* WholesomeCrossdresser: [[spoiler:"Isurugi Miina"]].
* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have to Be Bugs?]]: Maya Miyauchi, normally a {{Badass}} ActionGirl does not take well to giant dragonflies.
* TheWikiRule: [[http://edennoori.wikia.com/wiki/Eden_no_Ori_Wiki Eden no Ori Wiki]]

* ZettaiRyouiki: Rion.

* LeftHanging: [[spoiler: The Manga abruptly ended after 182 chapters. While the mystery of the island was solved, '''HOW''' the survivors wound up there was never explained. Kouhei and Hades's fate was, likewise, left in the air (though it's implied that they were simply left behind on the island, perhaps symbolic of how they can't rejoin civilization). ]]

** Segawa. To the point where [[spoiler: some of the boys believe that's why. Yarai and Kurusu haven't hooked up in the finally--she's always there.]]

* [[spoiler: AndTheAdventureContinues]]

** Chapter 127: [[spoiler: The entire island is a research facility.]]
*** [[spoiler: Rather was a research facility - until something went terribly wrong.]]

** Akira qualifies too.
** Miyauchi

%%**Akira qualifies too.
%%** Miyauchi

* ChasteHero: Despite Kotomi undressing and flat out attempting to force him to have sex with her, Akira refuses, simultaneously putting Kotomi in her place, while also wondering about what Rion would think if she were to walk in on them in the meanwhile. He's arguably a full blown {{chivalrous pervert}} but he's trying to stay loyal to his crush and childhood friend Rion. It helps that they've made it pretty clear to one another that they like each other, from as early as the first 10 chapters no less.

* AnachronismStew: It's noted early on that the extinct animals encountered are from too far apart in the fossil record both chronologically and geographically (the very first chapter has fauna both from 57 million years ago and from 2 million years ago; by volume 5 there's been everything from recently-extinct birds to Triassic-era mammalian reptiles and amphibians [[spoiler:except dinosaurs]]) to make sense on its own. This is something that gets discussed in-universe as well, when trying to figure out the nature of the island.
** Justified. As of recently it is discovered [[spoiler:that all of the extinct animals were actually genetically engineered by humans of various nationalities.]]

* ApocalypticLog: Eiken's video camera serves as exposition to what the rest of the survivors had been up to since the plane crashed. [[FromBadToWorse It spoke for itself.]]

* BadAss: '''Yarai'''. Akira qualifies too.
** ActionGirl Miyauchi
** Though especially ''Yarai''.
*** To make it clear, he once had to fend off ''three'' [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalicothere chalicotheres]]. While carrying someone over his shoulder. '''[[ImprovisedWeapon With c]][[ImprobableWeaponUser ar keys]]'''.
*** The only damage he took was from being smashed into a tree to stop them from attacking the rest of his group. It broke three of his ribs. His response was roughly "[[{{Determinator}} Pfft, only]] ''[[{{Determinator}} three ribs]]''"?
*** He made them run like pansies by ripping off one of their claws.

* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Kurusu-sensei doesn't suffer any permanent damage from the eye disease despite being the first to contract it.

* BigBad: Nishikiori of the second to final arc.
* BigBadassWolf: Ernest.

* ChasteHero: Despite Kotomi undressing and flat out attempting to force him to have sex with her, Akira refuses, simultaneously putting Kotomi in her place, while also wondering about what Rion would think if she were to walk in on them in the meanwhile. However, he still displays ChivalrousPervert tendencies.
** He's arguably a full blown {{chivalrous pervert}}, he's just trying to stay loyal to his crush and childhood friend Rion. It helps that they've made it pretty clear to one another that they like each other, from as early as the first 10 chapters no less.

* ClingyJealousGirl: Rion doesn't care too much for the fact that other girls are attracted to Akira as well.

* DarkestHour: [[spoiler: They have finally able to come up with a decent plan to stop Cerberus and another monster appears]].
** [[spoiler:Subverted, at the moment. Kouhei saves said monster from ruining the plan by dragging it underground (though no one sees him properly. And the people used as bait are burning their shirts to get Cerberus's attention back.]]

* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler: Never mind that Kouhei kills a good number of other teens in his group and has others in the group adopt his same mentality and kill the rest, Akira still sees him as his absolute bestest best buddy.]]
** Well, not really. [[spoiler:Akira's inner monologue reveals that he considers Kouhei's actions to be unforgivable; the malaise and conflict that would have inevitably resulted from the cognitive dissonance had Kouhei (who despite being aware by that point of how much he fucked up was still an insane, brain-damaged murderer) joined the group was thus [[ThePlotReaper conveniently resolved]]. Once the reader discovers that Kouhei is still alive, he doesn't feel he deserves to show himself to Akira.]]
** The list for this actually goes on and on. While quite a few [[{{Jerkass}} Jerkasses]] die [[KarmicDeath Karmic Deaths]], any that do survive are typically forgiven, regardless of how horrible they were.

* FiveManBand: The first five people who get to be together for the first few chapters.
** TheHero: Akira Sengoku
** TheLancer: Rion Akagami
** TheBigGuy: Kazuma Saji [[spoiler: Now possibly replaced by ActionGirl Miyauchi]]
*** Also Yarai, in a (much) more literal sense.
** TheSmartGuy: Shirou Mariya
** TheChick (TeamMom): Kanako Oomori

* GainaxEnding

* LikeBrotherAndSister: Akira and Rion, though the {{UST}} between them [[EveryoneCanSeeIt is obvious to everyone else]].
** [[spoiler:Both are starting to acknowledge their feelings for each other in the more recent chapter, so this might be subverted during the course of the series.]]
** They have displayed outright affections for each other very early in the story, with each initiating their own [[DudeShesLikeInAComa kiss scene]] (even if it was to save the [[KissOflife other's life]], its easy to tell that they wanted it). Its just that, whenever asked directly, they [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend deny it]].
* LivingOnBorrowedTime: [[spoiler: Kurusu-sensei, thanks to MortalWoundReveal -- she's however unaware of it]].
** [[spoiler: Or is she?]]

* MurderMakesYouCrazy: This is what breaks the ace, Kouhei. Well, [[spoiler: this combined with a head injury that damages his ability to feel responsible for his own actions... After killing the pilot during a panic, he feels incredibly guilty and paranoid. When one of the girls he's traveling with claims she saw him murder the pilot, he kills her to protect his secret, and then gets told that she had been manipulated into saying that and hadn't known all along. Realizing that he'd murdered her pointlessly, combined with the brain damage which made it impossible for him to 'feel people looking at him', makes him go off the deep end and kill more people, even when it serves no purpose. He even bullies and tricks the other students with him into doing the same thing so that they end up crazy like him (minus the head injury).]]

* NietzscheWannabe: Several of the survivors treat their predicament as a chance to practice survival of the fittest. Hades beats them all, though.

** [[spoiler: This is somewhat applied to Akira and Rion. At the last chapter, it's cleverly drawn that it looks like they might be holding hands. Even then, it's very unclear and can't be considered a "resolution."]]

* SchoolgirlLesbians: Oomori became a flight attendant so she could be with her former [[SenpaiKohai senpai]], whom she had a crush on in school. She claims it was because she went all girls schools and is now interested in males.
* [[spoiler: ScienceIsBad: Subverted. Turns out all the extinct animals were actually revived via genetic experiments. It's at first implied that they broke out and killed the researchers there. But it's later revealed that things didn't actually go wrong until the researchers were poisoned and the animals were released (since nobody was guarding them anymore). It's implied that the killers did this because they felt like they had intruded on God's territory. So it's less of science being bad, and more like fanatics believing that it is.]]

* SecretlyDying: [[spoiler:Inverted, only those close to Kurusu-sensei know that she's dying, but Kurusu-sensei does not.]]
** [[spoiler: It is revealed later on that she might actually know that she's dying.]]

* TapOnTheHead: Happens to Akira on at least two occasions.

* YourMindMakesItReal: The hallucination was so powerful for Akira that signs of actually being strangled showed up on his neck.

* TheReveal: [[spoiler: They're about 50-60 years in the future, in a timeline where they died... And the fake Isurugi Miina's name is Heijirou]]

* TheUnreveal: [[spoiler: The manga never explains if they're actually clones, used technology to bring them into the future, or them ending in that future was just a mere coincidence]].
** [[spoiler: Hades's identity]].

* WaifProphet: [[spoiler:The real "Miina"]]
