Emanon Volume 1
Emanon Volume 1 | Shinji Kajio
2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
A new series begins from the artist of the Eisner-nominated Wandering Island! The year is 1967, and a young Japanese man is thinking about the future. On one side of the water, the war is raging in Vietnam; far away on the other side, the Apollo Project has just met with disaster as three astronauts die in a capsule fire. And here and now, on a long nighttime ferry ride back home, he will meet and fall in love with a mysterious young woman who carries a past deeper and more profound than his dreams and fears of tomorrow. Her name, she jokes, is no name--Emanon...and she can never be forgotten, any more than she can forget...

This was weird but interesting. It felt very literary fiction, which is not my favorite, but it was still fun to read. Emanon's refusal to engage with her true existence creates disonance and uncertainty throughout right up to that last scene. #SciFi #Manga

Just heard about this manga last night on YouTube. I took this morning to give it a read and I absolutely LOVED the artwork! Friggen gorgeous lines! 😍

The story was quiet and sullen with a tinge of romance and self reflection. It asks the question, what would it be like to have the memories of our world since the begining of existence?

Beautiful book...both story & art. 🖤
