Eden Volume 8 by Hiroki Endo manga review. Translator: Kumar
Sivasubramanian. Published by Dark Horse. Price: $12.95. Ages 18+.
Originally published in Japan by Kodansha in 2003. Elijah prepares
to settle the score with Pedro as he is assigned by the government
to assassinate him at an airport as he attempts to leave the
country with his brother. Then things heat up as Elijah and Helena
begin to delve into a more intimate relationship. Graphic sex,
violence, emotions are all on display in this volume. But the
emotion of love runs as a invisible but powerful undercurrent
beneath all the spectacle. Also, I comment on the recent
controversy about Eden's rumored cancellation. My Grade: A
