"Traveling... wandering... that is my instinct; an impulse that comes from within me. I believe my destiny is to wander forever."

For me, Omoide Emanon is a work that everyone should read at some point in their lives. The light and enjoyable way the narrative unfolds contrasts with the complexity and depth of the story, making immersion even more intense. The artwork is stunning, possessing a unique quality that gives it its own personality.

Omoide Emanon is a profound poetry about cycles and change. What would you do if you had a memory of three billion years? Remembering every action and decision, no matter how insignificant, while ... questioning each step about the meaning of life—observing the world in a "neutral" way as each year passes, as if you were merely passing through, with your life reduced to a trivial journey, devoid of meaning or reason—just an instinct.

Imagine traveling repeatedly through the same place. The location remains unchanged, but the people evolve. This transience is as poetic as it is ephemeral. After repeated "travels," nothing seems to make sense; everything becomes fleeting, infinitely trapped in its own existence. Everything feels so futile yet so full of beauty. What do you feel while reading? I would say it’s a mix of emotions: sadness for her being doomed to eternally relive the same steps, reexperiencing everything she has done. Yet, the story is also sweet, as despite her pain, she tries to connect with those around her. It’s profound how her relationships branch out, revealing the complexity and weight of the human heart.

Omoide Emanon has a lot of poetry and a pure atmosphere. I felt very calm (but quite bored) when i read it. There is only love and beauty, with good art. The characters are well introduced and have depth.

However, the plot is a bit dull, there is a lot of nonsense like :

Beware [spoiler] below !

... Nothing will really happen in the manga, and the plot twists are spoiled in the beginning. the characters pretty much spend the manga talking.

It was boring to read but the overall atmosphere and the immortality depiction is pretty well managed by the author, so i would still recommend you reading at least the beginning. If you don t really enjoy it, consider dropping it since nothing much more will happen.

Story : 4/10 (a bit dull, slow, and nonsensical stuff)
Art : 8/10
Characters : 7/10 (we don t learn that much about them)
Enjoyment : 3/10
Overall : 5/10

Hello, everyone.

Well, I’ve finished reading this anime and it’s for me to give my opinion.
I have to say the illustrations illustrations of this manga are really good, I think few artists take the time of think of every detail , this is something I really thank.

However, I didn’t like the story at all. Sorry. I think both characters spend a lot of time talking in the restaurant, even their theory of Emanon’s gift to remember everything, becomes a bit boring. I wish we could have seen Emanon telling a story of waht she lived and a bit more of love the main characters.

I’m surprised the ... boy believes her when she tells him she can remember everything, the authors could have made things more difficult for her, she should have done something to make him see she’s telling the truth. I think he’s too immature and not developed at all.

I wish they had deepen more in their relationship and more in her memories of the past.
