Memories of Emanon

[Purplelibraryguy]

This is a glorious story steeped in hippie-ness and science fiction.

 

[ciurrb]

Not bad. I wonder if there is a translation of short story somewhere.

 

[Ziggy]

Boring and pretentious. The drawing is good though.

 

[Onodera]

Interesting and introspective short story. Kind of reminds me of the movie The Man From Earth.

 

[Meybi]

That was wonderful.

 

[Razovy]

Loved every second reading this! Never expected a 1 volume manga to become my new favorite 😄

 

[stressedcoffee]

it was short but beautiful.

 

[fahene_boi]

love it

 

[LastSaneMan]

Masterpiece.

 

[nindittt]

what a good story😳

 

[Leerzeichen95]

This has easily become my favorite manga. I really like this story and I don’t think more chapters would help it.

 

[xwenqix]

Short but very thoughtful read!

 

[Jumbodog]

This is a masterpiece if only he end up with her tho😔

 

[Maul1996]

The plot and drawing are outstanding.

8/10 I'm not very good at criticizing/expressing my opinion with mangas, it's really my first time trying.

Anyway, I liked this manga, even though it's quite short you can see the effort, but I really wanted a little more, I felt that feeling of " i  need  more NOW!" however, I really liked it! ♡

I'm rereading it every once in a while and I can't get enough of it.
What a great manga. The art is beautiful and the story is very human and touching. I also loved the use of nudity that felt raw and natural. It helped with the themes of ephemeral beauty and vulnerability.

kinda lazy, it's a fun concept but we have a billion year old person and the story is told through the eyes of a boy that fancies her?

6/10

while Emanon introduces a fascinating concept of memories being passed down through generations, it doesn’t delve deeply into its implications, focusing mostly on the atmosphere and the idea of an “all knowing, wandering woman”, however, considering the manga’s short length, this feels understandable, yet not enough to make me give it a higher rating

I feel like the second person perspective is supposed to drive home the point of how fleeting our lives are. The story is about a mayfly like you and I facing eternity, not about eternity facing us. If you want a story like that, go read To You, The Immortal a.k.a. Fumetsu no Anata e.
