Synopsis

The elite Cosmo Academy attracts applicants from every stellar nation in the galaxy. One young hopeful is Tadatos Lane, an orphan esper from Terra. The final stage of the academy's entrance exam is a perilous mission simulation aboard an actual derelict starship. The applicants depart for the ships in groups of ten, but when Tada's crew arrives on the Esperanza, they are horrified to discover that they now number eleven. As the test progresses, things go awry and the atmosphere grows increasingly tense. The crew members begin to suspect sabotage, and Tada appears to be the likely culprit.

They Were Eleven is a manga that tells a more interesting story in one volume than some other manga tell in ten times that amount. It is a shoujo, but it doesn't fall for any of the usual tropes that make the genre boring. It is a pleasant surprise that is still an enjoyable read even almost fifty years after its release.

The core concept of the story is somewhat "classical" - group of people gets stuck in closed area and as the days go by some of them grow less and less irrational and the conflicts inside the group grows. This time with the addition ...

Preliminary (2/4 eps)
Just another typical shoujo manga.. no, wait. That was what I thought before reading it. Now I can say that this is one of the most unique shoujo mangas I've read.

What happens when there should be 10 people, who don't ...

I expected this to be a mystery thriller manga, that made you brainstorm but non of my expectations were met, it was not that at all, instead it was a poor love story that was presented as mystery.I found the conductive ivy storyline bunch of bullshit and the mystery of the 11th man also turned out be the lamest, most mediocre writing. I was as if the author did not have patience to go deep into the mystery so he hurriedly came up with some other bullshit to turn our attention away from the initial plot. Not recommended at all, it is my first shoujo ...
