Jon and Celine are stuck in a routine that seemed endless, until one day, fate, and a little bit of divine intervention, and a mall brawl, brought these two childhood friends back together again after escaping from . With so much catching up after being apart for several years, they quickly get acquainted, and sure enough, they fell in love in the middle of a thunderstorm.
But their friends, cynical Greg and Lea, and childlike Mike and Cathy, who are persuaded by Jon and Celine to know each other, try to break them up and to bring them back to the old routine. Plus, there are angels and demons that maneuver the fate of lovers like them since the days of Adam and Eve. Not to mention, the weather is always unpredictable on the city celebrating its centennial.
Will Jon and Celine ever maintain their love though these challenges?
''After Eden'' is a 2002 Philippine graphic novel by artist Arnold Arre of ''ComicBook/TheMythologyClass'' fame. The series revolves around six individuals, a rock band of angels, and demon cops, on the daily struggles of grown up life, romance, and the test of love and friendship in a seemingly mundane world. It has been revised in 2016 that changed the dynamics of the characters and the plot.
----
!!This graphic novel consists of these tropes:
* AdamAndEvePlot: While it's not about reproduction, the novel contains themes of Eden, temptation, and finding paradise when it comes to love.
* AllergicToRoutine: Jon and Celine do the same things with their respective friends over and over in their weekly routine.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: The angels and demons fight for love and hate respectively.
* TheCameo: The tequila bartender at the Townfest is based on the author's wife.
* CantHoldHerLiquor: Cathy gets knocked out easily by just one shot of tequila. This goes in effect where while at a kiosk at the Townfest waiting for Celine, Cathy, mistaking it for apple juice, takes a shot of tequila, and gets intoxicated and rambling about eloquent sexual references.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Jon and Celine have been best friends since children, but drifted apart after Celine moved to another place. They quickly reacquainted and quickly fell in love.
* CrashIntoHello: How Jon, Celine, and their friends, after escaping the mall brawl completely got acquainted. Greg and Lea banter at each other on who crashed their cars, but they weren't the ones who were driving.
* CueTheRain: Whenever something romantic or dramatic happens, the rain always pours down the city. One of the demon cops even lampshaded this at the end of the novel.
* ElectricLove: Jon and Celine got a RelationshipUpgrade at a thunderstorm, and reconciled at a thunderstorm through widescreen TV at the Townfest a year later.
* FriendVersusLover: The main conflict of the novel. As Jon's and Celine's friends grow miserable due to their relationship, their friends plan to break them up and return to the way before. [[spoiler: It went badly to the point all six of them won't talk to each other anymore.]]
* GayBarReveal: Downplayed in the 2002 version; On their date arranged by Jon and Celine, Greg and Lea walk into a bar where they end up at a one-night event or gays and lesbians. It was changed to a karaoke night in the 2016 version.
* {{Geek}}: Jon, Greg, and Mike have very geeky interests such as reading comics, playing video games, and collecting action figures, and they own a hobby shop called "The Hobby".
* TheMall: Where the six characters hang out after the work week. Jon and Celine met each other at a convention held at a mall while Jon hosted that convention and Celine's ad company sponsored it.
* ManChild: Mike is a happy-go-lucky fellow who has a passion for video games, while Cathy is a ditzy girl who has a huge collection of dolls. Mike desires a highly prized game console, and Cathy desires a huge teddy bear.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Lea exploits this trope as it is an essential to relationships. Cutting off communication for Jon and Celine means easy breakup.
* ShoutOut:
** The Arcturian, a kid gaming psychoanalist in the graphic novel, is named after The Arcturians in ''ComicBook/TheLongTomorrow''.
** While getting reacquainted, Jon and Celine discuss their favorite moments in ''Series/SesameStreet''
** While Greg, Mike, Lea, and Cathy are waiting for Jon and Celine, who are on their first date, their friends go and watch the film ''Film/{{Alien}}''.
** One single panel where Jon and Celine tries to get away from the thunderstorm is an homage to the painting "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Storm_(painting) Storm]]" by Pierre-Auguste Cot.
** Mentioned and given
* StrawFeminist: Lea is a self-proclaimed feminist who does not go with Greg's chauvinistic shit.
* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: The story takes place at an unnamed city that's celebrating its centennial. It has a population of multiple ethnicities. The author states that in keeping with the theme of universal love, the setting is intentionally vague, and has no nationality.
