Credits Grade: 9 Eden is a romantic, adult title in which each manga has two different stories. In the first story, Michirou frees Kikuno from a life of prostitution. In the second, Yuri is rescued from having to have sex with her cousin. Her savior happens to be an oyama (a male actor portraying a woman in a Kabuki play) she has a huge crush on — Hyakkimaru.Both of these stories are romantic, and they provide a wonderful introduction to Eden. The second story is my favorite. Hyakkimura is a great character — modest, honest, cute, a great smile — and I simply love the fact that he's an oyama. All of the characters are beautiful due to Senno Knife's wonderful craftsmenship, but it's the eyes that really pull you in. Their eyes speak volumes. The stories themselves, and well told, and I can't wait to read more! Written: January 31, 2003
