Also, it's not so much a nosedive, but more like a free-falling exploding fireball Considering the author is already promoting his next work, the most likely scenario is that he just got bored or didn't want to deal with the mess of a story he's created, and just decided to Nice Boat his readers and gtfo. |

Didn't Ken Akamatsu end Negima because the publisher was planning to make a play for control of his work (see http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost...stcount=8408)?
This seemed like the author just ran out of steam. |

Personally, I think the author gave up on the story.
He came up with an interesting concept of bunch of school students stuck on an island of extinct animals (plus fanservice) and ran with it, but I doubt he actually thought about HOW they got on the island in the first place. So he ended up slowly writing himself into a corner and couldn't figure out how to tie up all the loose ends. So he got tired of dealing with the mess he got himself into, and lost interest/motivation with the work. Better tie up the main loose end (the truth behind the Raika Island) and then end the story so he can move on to something else that he's raring to do instead. The fact that he's already planning a new story shows how eager he is to drop Cage of Eden. So he comes up with the idea of Flight 2307 being shunted into future somehow. Everyone believes the flight lost, so Yoshimi Isurugi and then later Yuna Sengoku builds Raika island as memorial to the missing Flight 2307, in the area where the flight was presumed to have disappeared. Eventually the island is completed, and later abandoned by humans... only to serve as landing spot for the Flight 2307 that coincidentally re-appears after some untold years. |

The next two pages are supposed to be a double spread which would look like this: http://www.abload.de/img/eden1_032-33vujw.jpg If the author didn't know the reason for the time travel he wouldn't draw the plane crash like this. He would draw it more 'ambiguous'. And also, the fact that the dead pilot seems to have known "something" about the island and that he said they must get off of it or they couldn't ever return + the fact that the plane was undamaged which, by the pilots' comment, wasn't because of his skill, all point to the fact that the author knew, at least roughly, what exactly happened at the plane crash. |

why there was a time skip; how the plane landed without a scratch and what did the pilot know about it; who is Hades; and what is Arita's fate. I can't think of a better reason than the manga was really getting canned and the author was only given a few chapters to wrap up the story...which is such a shame as it totally ruined an otherwise really solid manga. BTW what are the chances of it getting animated? |

The problem with the story is that the island can only carry it so far. When they reached the pyramid and confirmed all of the man made stuff, that took the information the kids could learn into a completely new direction. Most of the mystery about the island itself was known by the time they arrived at the living quarters. The author could have cut down on some of the fluff in the story, but it still required explanations that the island itself couldn't give. Just look at how much story Akira's mother helped fill in. The manga needed more of that.
In short, ending the story and getting the kids off the island was really the only logical way to end this in such a short time. If by chance a continuation happens, the story can explain the rest when they reach (whatever is left of) civilization. In fact, the story will probably be better off for it.

Holy fuck what an awful mess these last few chapters were.
Honestly I wish everyone was dead. At the very least there's actual closure to be had there. Though this is nowhere near as bad as how that manga with the Otaku dad ended up.
