7 Seeds: Difference between revisions

[[File:7-seeds-1107980_6890.jpg|frame]]

 

 

In the near future, scientists discovered that a meteor was headed towards earth and that if it hit it was expected to wipe out almost all life. World leaders met and tested a number of countermeasures. In the worst case scenario, if none of the countermeasures worked and the human race died out entirely, they created a final project, "7 Seeds". Each country took young and healthy people and put them in a cryogenic sleep: when conditions on earth had become safe enough to live in again, they would be released.

In 2007, the series won the Shogakukan Manga Award for shōjo manga.

----

* [[Kill'Em All]]: {{spoiler|All Team Summer A candidates are killed except the top seven.}}

* [[Killer Rabbit]]: Team Summer B encounters some cute, fuzzy rodents. Then it turns out that half of the rabbits are carnivorous monsters that try to eat them and the other half are prey. Oddly enough, it's one of the few serious examples of this trope.
