No reviews?
Well, I am not the best reviewer, hell, this is my first review on the site. But I digress.
Sasurai Emanon is the sequel to Omoide Emanon, and follows the adventures of the titular character, Emanon, one of my favorite characters in any form of media.
At the time of this review I have read the first volume, as that's the only thing available, but since the first volume is sort of a stand-alone story, It's what I'll review.
Story: 9/10
The premise ... is simple, follow the journey of Emanon while she travels around the world. Nothing too complex or exciting happens throughout the story, and we don't have an exciting climax, just a normal day in the life of Emanon. Yet, the author is able to make things interesting, it's always fun to see the interactions between characters and know some of Emanon's vast back-story.
Art: 10/10
There's not much to say, really, the art is unique and sometimes can be breathtaking, and the fact that it's all in color also helped reach that 10. Just look at this one and Omoide's art and you'll know what I mean.
Character:10/10
This is where the manga really shine, Emanon is definitely one of the most interesting characters to ever greet me in any entertainment form, and I am glad to have read this mangas just for the sole fact that it made me "meet" Emanon.
But Emanon is not the only interesting character, the kid is fairly entertaining, but her friend is another mysterious character that could have another spin-off manga just for herself.
Enjoyment: 10/10
I enjoyed this manga a lot, I was expecting it since I read Omoide Emanon, and my expectations where high. And it did not disappoint me. So far, the first volume is small and you can read it and re-read it fast. And the story, like I previously said, is a stand-alone, although it says in the end "To be continued".
Overall:10/10
This has become of my favorite manga series, Emanon is an amazing character, like I said before and continue saying, and it makes up for the entire manga, the art is incredible and the story, although nothing special, it's enough to drag you into it and present you with a fairly interesting premise "What would you do if you were immortal?".
I recommend this manga to everyone who wants to see a more interesting and mature story than those romance-comedies and battle mangas that flood the market. It's well worth the read.

The journey of Emanon is quite a unique one.
It was a journey of life, or rather, the journey of the history of life.

As you go along on Emanon's journey with her, it will draw you in her experiences, her life on the move, and her unique circumstances.

From every generation she is born into, her fate has already been sealed. When she's old enough to survive on her own, she would leave her family, travel the world, and eventually when she gives birth to her own daughter, her memories will be wiped clean and she will become a blank state, transferring all her experiences and memories ... to the daughter, who would then repeat the cycle again and again.

This is the fate of the wandering Emanon, they say a person is defined by their memories, so in a sense, she is immortal, though her physical body may die, her memories will be passed down each generation, allowing her to view life as an observer.

Emanon is without a doubt, one of the best slice-of-life characters out there, and this series is something that will stick with you for years to come.

Short review of the whole series:

The story of Emanon is a pretty unique and beautiful one, with an abundance of mysteries and emotions.
I have to say that I enjoyed the first part (Omoide Emanon) way more than the second one (Sasurai Emanon).
I felt the first part more impactful ,while the Sasurai Emanon gave me a weaker and more mild impression overall . Nonetheless both were really interesting.
The art is pretty and unique .I also consider important to refer that the way the enviroment is drawn is mesmerizing.

That's all ,I would totally recommend giving a read to the Emanon series as it's really good ,fast to ... read and short
