HL is not 'villainous speech' or general breaking speech. It's only for captives against captors

''Eden: It's an Endless World!'' is a cyberpunk manga by Hiroki Endo set in the aftermath of a global plague that has radically altered the social and economic stature of the world, and tells the story of Elijah, the son of freedom fighter Enoah Ballard, who opposes Propater, a global pseudo-religious organization that tried, more or less successfully, to launch a coup d'etat on the entire world. Not entirely successful, they kidnapped Elijah's mother and sister to keep Enoah from opposing them too much. Elijah fled Propater by escaping to South America with his father's combat robot for protection. Over the course of the story, he meets and joins forces with a variety of different, well developed characters, all with their own motivations, problems, morals and ethics, relationships and agendas.

The story deals heavily with relationships, especially family relationships, religion, drug abuse, death and morality. The complex relationships between characters avoid many forms of easy classifications, and many of the characters fail to fall into stereotypical molds.

Still here? OK, let's dig in a bit deeper. The series is perhaps best described as ''GhostInTheShell'' turned [[UpToEleven up to 11]]. Eden is extremely violent, filled with explicit sex and nudity, lots of philosophy, even more religion, and moral ambiguity in ways that would make AlanMoore proud. Characters are regularly killed off, beaten, wounded, tortured, crippled, and raped by villains and heroes alike; and TheMessiah, despite the religious overtones, is a minor character.

''Eden'' ran from 1998 to 2008 in the ''Afternoon'' magazine, reaching a total of 18 volume. The series is translated into English by DarkHorse Manga, who publish volumes biannually due to low sales. Titan Books publish the Dark Horse translations in England, while Egmont Anime & Manga handle the German translation and publication.
