7 SEEDS (Part 1)

((summary adapted from Wikipedia))

When a catastrophic future is predicted by astronomers, world leaders meet and develop a backup plan for human survival called the Seven Seeds project. Each country will cryonically preserve a number of healthy men and women, allowing them to survive the devastation of the impact until a computer determines that Earth is once again habitable.

In Japan, five groups of survivors are scattered across the country, named, Winter, Spring, Summer A, Summer B, and Autumn. Each group consists of seven members as well as an adult guide who has knowledge of the project, and is trained in wilderness survival. Since most of the "seeds" are not told what will happen before they're put in cryonic preservation, they awaken to find themselves amidst a hostile environment bare of any human life, their entire world irrevocably changed. Now, completely alone, they're forced to depend on themselves for survival.
