The story deals heavily with relationships, especially family relationships, religion, drug abuse, death and morality. I found myself racing from panel to panel, my eyes frequently bugging out at dramatic and gory moments that are perfectly presented in service to the larger narrative and the emotional content.

In addition, the artwork is insanely detailed and, instead of having bland backgrounds, cities all over the world are drawn with lots of realism, all while keeping a traditional manga style. Eden is extremely violent, filled with explicit sex and nudity, lots of philosophy, even more religion, and moral ambiguity in ways that would make Alan Moore proud. The characters and plot take a more leading role in this than other comics I have posted before, but I don't mind that in a lengthy work that has time to properly develop such things.The Automater is an interesting take on the trope, grooming young males she finds to replace the sons she never could have.
