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.

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 ...

The only reason why this manga doesn't have a much higher rating is due to the fact that it has never been properly developed by the author. The story of Sasurai Emanon's project was fragmented across time and failed to be taken seriously.
Nevertheless the premise is fascinating and the art is simply the greatest Manga genre has to offer. This is a manga for mature people with a truly inspiring concept. For those who know the movie "Man of Earth" it is hard to not see the similarities between the stories. The movie came out one year before the Manga started to be published. Coincidence? Reading ...

If you've read Memories of Emanon you know what you're going to get into.
Beautiful art, coupled with a meandering, but thought-provoking narrative about a person's place in the world, the importance of memory, and a de-anthropocentric ideology that decentres people as the centre of the world. In years to come, rocks and soil will probably outlive the human race. I loved Memories of Emanon, and Sasurai Emanon continues this lineage with a more personal take to this theme and tone (albiet repeating itself a few times). We no longer see our mysterious main character, Emanon through the eyes of another, but she is now ...

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 ...

What is the meaning in eternity?
The first installment in the Emanon manga explored a fun scenario. A simple idea: “what if a woman had memories from the beginning of life on earth?”. Great as a short film, incredible art, beautiful dialogue, similar to “one location” movies about a conversation. It posed the question on eternity, and instead of portraying the negative aspects, it simply shows how a being of that caliber deals with it. Eternity is eternity, unmoving, nearing its end, just as close as its beginning. A second, a million lifetimes, but how does this being keep existing outside the world? What can they ... |
