Much like a Mushishi chapter, Omoide Emanon incorporates a supernatural element into an otherwise mundane world to tell a poignant story about an aspect of what it means to be human. Emanon also shares some similarities with Ginko as a character. Both are forced to live a nomadic lifestyle due to their respective supernatural condition (and for what it's worth, both are heavy smokers).

Overly literal, unable to pick up on hints or nonverbal communication, at times completely immersed in their artistic work, slow to realize their feelings for a much older guy - Youichi from Hana wa Saku ka and Koga from Sono Te no Netsu wo Kasanete are practically the same character.
