| I stumbled on this title by complete chance... and it blew me away. Memories of Emanon is both astonishing and mature. The character art is outstanding, and Emanon's interactions feel completely genuine. The atmosphere shifts as the story wanders from one point to the next, and readers will sense it. The story's twists are subtle but done to powerful effect. Just as I was getting fed up with Emanon's eternal memory spiel, The ending I can hardly believe <250 members have rated this title. This manga deserves far more attention! |

| Yeah this is really good, I gave it a 10. Emanon is really beautiful too (too bad smoking is a turn off for me though). Are there any plans for this becoming an anime movie or something? I think it would make a great movie, maybe with that bittersweet feeling that Makoto Shinkai films have. |

| Could have been written by Asimov himself. Was just amazing. |
| Emanon with that cigarette of hers kinda reminds me of Ginko. I'm really glad I stumbled upon this title, I enjoyed both the story and the art which is so beautifully distinct. |

| I realized that the story continued past the meeting on the boat. The finale was okay. I prefer the story with the last half omitted; it retains mystery and avoids the evolutionmemoriestimeskiplifesucks nonsense. |

Raven_Shinobi said: ... and I'm a non-believer in the evolution theory, Emanon had quite an impact on me. I remember this Jungian theory that states every human inherits the memories of their ancestors and experience them in dreams. Emanon is just like the rest of us, with the exception that she isn't born with the gift to forget. You actually made me check this Jungian theory. I'm thinking with a bit revision you could actually put your post in review, as the current reviews are all kinda boring. - -b |
| I know it's kinda of topic but i had no idea that Kenji tsuruta made a sequel manga to omoide emanon named Sasurai Emanon and posted the last chapter online for free this week? It would be cool if someone could translate it all though... source: http://www.animenewsnetwork.co.uk/news/2011-11-03/spirit-of-wonder-tsuruta-puts-last-emanon-chapter-online |

Thank you for the heads-up. |
| This is probably one of my favorite mangas and Emanon is my favorite character in general. The other two sequels to Omoide are very good, but they do not compare to the beauty of the the original. I feel proud that I made a couple other people fans of this manga, because it is just amazing! If a movie comes out, which I totally want it, I'd be one of the first in the waiting line! |

| What a wonderful short story. The art, the concept..everything about it is memorable. Kind of wish that other authors could see that quality doesn't need to be 25 volumes long. |

| Truly a masterpiece. |
| Wow that was really sweet and interesting.Read it while listening to some Amazarashi and it fit the lovely story perfectly |
