manga recommendation: Memories of Emanon [おもいでエマノン]

we all love absurd stories, whether they come from books, movies, or any form of media. but what would you do if you met someone whose life was a fantastical story - something that should not exist, like a tale of fiction claimed to be real? how would you react if someone said they had a memory that was 3 billion years old?

this manga is certainly one of the most interesting reads i have had in the past few days; it is short [can be read in 30 minutes], simple, and delivers its message really well. it lets you experience the feelings of each character, while also offering what I can only describe as an insightful, thought-provoking perspective on time and memories. in fact, it makes you think about it - what would you do if you were in her shoes? what is the value of our remembrances? and what is the meaning of life? i know, this last question is extremely cliché, but it is well-portrayed in the story. trust me :)

it is a moment that lasts a lifetime - to both. sadly, i cannot share any further details, or i will spoil the whole thing.

if you enjoy the narrative, i highly recommend checking out Wandering Emanon [さすらいエマノン], the sequel that was released some time after Memories of Emanon [おもいでエマノン], following its huge success - but be prepared, as this series ends on a cliffhanger.

and that is it!

probably no one will read this blog, but i still enjoyed writing it, lol.
