"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.

Simply CINEMA

So far, I am really immersed in the story and the world. I think it’s incredible how the narrative has this lightness, even with themes that can be so complex, like "love." The art and soundtrack are simply perfect, and the touching scenes always make you think, "Wow, I wish I could experience something like this," just like the MC when he remembers things he read in his novels.

The development of the other characters around the MC and Anna is amazing—even those I initially judged as "generic" get their moments of development (like the student council members, for example). I love all the characters, ... but obviously, I adore the otter that Anna is; she’s always so kind in her own way and eating all the time. The lightness she brings is very comforting, and for me, that’s incredible.

In summary, it’s a great work so far with a very entertaining plot and impeccable art and soundtracks. It’s definitely worth giving it a chance; I’m sure you won’t regret it at all.
