In the immediate future, a giant meteorite has collided with earth. All living organisms, including mankind, have been wiped off the face of the planet. The government, who had foreseen this outcome, took measures to counter the worst-case scenario. In particular was Project "7 SEEDS", in which five sets of seven gifted young men and women were carefully selected and placed into teams (Spring, Summer A, Summer B, Autumn and Winter). Each participant was then put under cryogenic sleep in hopes of preserving the continued existence of mankind.
When those men and women awoke, they found themselves suddenly thrust into a cruel world. While bereft and grieved over forever losing their loved ones, they sought to find ways to survive.
Note: Won the 2007 Shogakukan Manga Award for shoujo manga.
These are recommendation lists which contains
7 Seeds. You should give them a visit if you're looking for similar novels to read. Alternatively, you can also

I was one of those reader who dropped this manga at first. The art is way too messy and I don't like Natsu's early personality.
Later on, after reading Basara and loving it, I tried reading 7 Seeds. I definitely didn't regret the time reading this manga. While grounded, the setting for future earth are interesting enough make you anticipate new area. Every characters, even the passerby all have their own distinct characteristic and ego. Some arc are tearjerker, some are full of suspense, some are about personal growth.
Unlike most apocalypse plot that are either too altruistic or fluffy, 7 Seeds offer a more humane approach, one that show hope for it's characters even if there's many tragedy and loss along the journey.
This one is definitely on my recommendation list.
