“Eden” is a science fiction adventure that brings together talented creators from around the world, including director Irie Yasuhiro, known for “FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST”, and Justin Leach producer of “Innocence”.

Eden is set in a world rich in nature led by the leader Robot Zero (CV: Yamadera Koichi) where only robots live.
In this world where “humans are evil”, E92 (CV: Itou Kentaro) and A37 (CV: Hikami Kyoko) who are agricultural robots, one day happen to discover a capsule containing a “human baby” named Sarah (CV: Kouno Marika) and decided to hide and raise her.
Two robots and one person grow up a “bond” like real parents and child…

At the same time, a character cut depicting child Sarah was also unveiled.

■ About the manga version serialization in 2 magazines
I’m really happy to see Eden’s story turned into a manga. In this anime, my goal was to create a story that would appeal to viewers around the world, regardless of age or gender. In Hollywood, we use the term “Four quadrants” to describe a story that appeals to a wide range of people.
To achieve this goal, we partnered with two prominent comic publishers to help connect the story between children and adults.

■ About manga adaptation in the Bessatsu CoroCoro Comic
It was a great honor for me to publish the manga in the “Bessatsu CoroCoro Comic”. Shogakukan is a brand with a very long history, so I am very grateful for this opportunity. The story of Eden is designed to be familiar to children, with pastel colors and cute character designs. It is drawn from the perspective of a child growing up in an unfamiliar world. Yamada-sensei made a really cute and attractive version of the character. I hope that the children will grow up with Sarah and feel positive about nature and their obligation to protect it.

■ About the manga serialized in Young King Hours GH
This was something I hadn’t imagined. I enjoy working with Isomoto-sensei and the team of Shonen Gahosha. They further expanded the world of Eden and made the background of the story more magnificent. Isomoto-sensei is also an expert on motorcycles, so he was particular about the details and was able to strengthen the world view of the original. I hope many adults will travel this world with their characters.
