Higashi no Eden has beautiful backgrounds, with details carefully added in to the smallest of items. Aside from its political theme, Higashi no Eden also shares a similarity with Zankyou no Terror in its artwork. While Higashi no Eden contains more comedic moments than Zankyou no Terror, it still gives a serious and thought provoking story line, talking about issues such as government/political corruption, unemployment (especially in Japan’s younger adults), an unfair social system and how different ideologies/solutions aren’t exactly right or wrong. But can Saki and Akira truly save Japan? Especially since neither know what they have to save Japan from in the first place? Akira discovers his cellphone not only contains over 8 billion yen in a digital bank, but that he has to use the money to “Save Japan”, lest he be eliminated, both from the game and in real life. At the start of the series, young and naive Saki is saved by Akira from police trouble, eventually resulting in the both of them getting swept up in a literal game of life and death. As the male lead, there is a nude, gun wielding, cellphone toting, amnesia inflicted young man who goes by the name Akira Takizawa. The story revolves around Saki Morimi, a Japanese university senior student, as the female lead. For those of you who enjoy a good story about conspiracies, corrupt governments, and motivational mysteries, you can’t go wrong with Higashi no Eden.
