Actually, I daresay the cyborgs here are completely different from the ones in Gunnm. We are talking about different and independent narratives; both great!
Ah Eden i had some of the first issues (till the second time jump which introduced that female cop) on Mangaproject.cjb.net. Not really bad and nice art but to tragic and dark for my taste.
I rather prefer Blade of the Immortal.
One question about it's end.
Did it end with everyone being absorbed by that mutated virus which absorbed the mind of the infected? Or did it end worse?
If yes then i guessed it would happend that way, since the whole presentation of eden had always been that its not an endless world but a pile of crap. On the other hand it mainly played with thing which also happen in our world just with lots of sci-fi elements in it.
So i guess it was more like holding a mirror up to us (if i got it right the arc in the redlight district was inspired from the youth of the autor who lived near a redlight district in his youth, so he knew from youth that world is not really shiny).
One thing i always found almost funny was, how everyone who told their own backstory or something important of their past directly where absolutly certain to die (often in a horrible way). While others whos backstory is told in flashbacks or by others have a relative high survival chance (Kenji and Sophia for example, even though i don't know how long they actualy made it).
By the way where is issue 80 of Gunnm actualy.
