Those who couldn't be inside the paradise that is the inner Eden has to stay outside the "inside" Eden. The conditions in the "outside" Eden is the total opposite of that of the "inside" Eden—here the land is dry and in the people suffer from poverty caused by the "inside" Eden.

Side notes: The art of this manga is on quite good level but maybe a bit plain sided though  okay. Story... I think it's pretty typical setting of two parties standing in the different sides of the line... just like in the cold war. Both think that they are right and it's justified to think so... but is that so? But if setting that aside and all rebellions and injustice of the those living in Eden causing to other... there is still a fine set of characters and dynamics going between them left that can make it a good manga to read.



Main characters


Ricalna Forde (リカルナ=フォルドー)
Birthday: September 12
Status: Dead
Race: Mother Keeper Combat Valuing Type
Gender: Male
Height: 177.9 cm (5'8)
Weight: 207 kg (456 lbs)
Blood Type: A


Originally a member of COSMOS trying to destroy EDEN's hold on the immediate world, Ricalna was subsequently revived by Jim as a Mother Keeper and put to work protecting EDEN's main computer. A skilled fighter and a caring older brother to Lennard, Ricalna struggles to navigate the world within EDEN and all he's missed since becoming a cyborg.

Ricalna tends to go along with things to please others, having joined COSMOS to make Graham happy. He is uncertain of his own opinions and quick to change them in light of hearing a different side. He is left conflicted over whether Eden is evil or not as Graham says they are but everyone around him in Eden says they did nothing wrong.

Ricalna was born in the slums and abandoned by his parents, along with his little sister, Lennard. They were taken in by Graham, who Ricalna came to see as a father to them. When Ricalna was older, he joined COSMOS, the rebellion group that Graham was in charge of. He swore to protect Lennard as her big brother and keep her happy.




Jim Cleeas (ジムクリーズ)
Birthday: Unknown
Status: Alive
Race: Human (?)
Gender: Female
Height: 169cm (5'5)
Weight: 57 Kg (126 lbs)
Blood Type: Unknown

One of the most powerful figures in EDEN, Jim is the scientist who creates/maintains the Mother Keepers. Though beautiful and scantily clad she's easily angered and quite violent when provoked. Forcibly ejected Adam from EDEN sometime in the past. A very heavy smoker.

Jim tends to come off as cold, harsh and sometimes out right violent. She doesn't care for people being ungrateful or trying to put her down and never backs down. She tends to be kinder towards Syal and reassures her.




Lint Kaiser (リント カイゼル)
Birthday: September 25
Status: Dead
Race: Mother Keeper Security Type
Gender: Male
Height: 180 cm (5'10)
Weight: 157 Kg (346 lbs)
Blood Type: AB

A Mother Keeper in charge of area security. He is the oldest of the main three mother keepers. Lint appears apathetic towards most things and doesn't easily trust new people. He is willing to voice his displeasure about Ricalna very loudly.

Before becoming a mother keeper, Lint was a serial killer using the name "Jack the Ripper". After accidentally killing his wife, Mary, he was caught and put on death row, which gave Jim a chance to turn him into a mother keeper.


He was turned into a mother keeper along with two others, who both ended up dying, leaving him as the only mother keeper until Syal came around.




Syal Fineded (シャル ファインデッド)
Birthday: October 30
Status: Dead
Race: Mother Keeper Speed Specialization Type
Gender: Female
Height: 155 cm (5'1)
Weight: 82 Kg (180lbs)
Blood Type: O

A female Cyborg who either works for or is under the control of Eden. She fought and defeated Ricalna. Despite being extremely strong, Syal acts very cute and sweet, which she is for the most part. She's very kind and apologises for shooting Ricalna. On the contrary however, she is absolutely brutal in her fights against Zelik and only ever holds back to save herself energy. She is upset over her past but wants to try and move on as best she can.

Syal grew up in the slums with many other orphans. She helped Elsa to look after the children there and protected them from slavers as she was a talented fighter at a young age.

After beating a member of the Cocytus in a fight, Zelik was called in to deal with her so she wouldn't get in the way of business. Zelik saw her potential as a fighter and remembered Silas Andovaldo was interested in buying strong fighters, but only wanted pretty ones. Zelik made a deal with Syal that if she let him sell her, he'd protect the family of orphans, promising Syal that if he did anything to hurt them she would be allowed to kill him.

After being sold to Silas, Syal was trained to fight in the arena. Silas had her drugged and forced her to take steroids to make her stronger so she would never lose a fight. Silas made money off people placing bets, expecting such a small teenage girl to get killed easily.


Syal lasted for around six months in the arena before she was put in a match against Elsa, who had been kidnapped by Allen so that he could break Syal emotionally and make a great profit from her death. Before the match could end, the military arrived at the arena for a raid, having been tipped off by Jim who'd been attending some matches. Allen and Elsa were killed, and Silas arrested just as Elsa stabbed Syal. Jim found Syal barely alive and begging for someone to save Elsa before finally passing out. Jim misunderstood her plea as her begging to be saved herself and turned her into a mother keeper, only to have her lash out in anger that she was saved instead of Elsa. Syal was so heartbroken over Elsa's death she attempted to kill herself by slitting her throat only to be told it wouldn't work.
