The things I feel throughout reading this manga is pretty heavy. You really feel how the artist tries to convey from words to words and able to depict each situation between the lines.
Should you read the novel, you will probably say the artist feeling towards his own reader are false, because first, Wandering Emanon really convey what is in the novel which what the artist trying to do with this one. It is impressive works to be able to achieve such depiction with the manga that have a heavy writing. By itself is already an accomplistment.
I don't feel anything towards Emanon, but I am somehow able to understand her situation. This situation really helps because of how the drawing are done. Heavy writing with a style like this are rare which likely most people will be reminded of Mushishi, but it is really rare for it to hit the reader heart. A small example can be seen with Summer Ghost, To Your Eternity, Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, Natsume's Book of Friends, and In This Corner of The World.
I have nothing more to say, but the weight of this manga is too much even makes the artist felt bad for us. I hope this is not the last work of Emanon for him, because I can feel the artist has not giving up.

Even for Emanon, she cannot avoid time ruthlessness. What every human want is to go back to time and fix everything they did wrong. All the "Ifs" carries the weight here and for her to be able to move fowards with a memories of things she didnt want to happens is pretty humane even for her Hikari is the sole motivation through out the journey before and hence why she cried for her.
I'd love for the works to continue I hope and pray for it even "if" it takes another life.
I want to have something to look foward to.
