Beautiful to look at but doesn't have much story to it. It was introduced as a philosophical manga to me. It's not that. It's merely mysterious, just a little bit.

I just cannot give these books 5 starts. They hold such a special space in my heart!!

I absolutely loved the storyline in this one. Maybe I’m a sucker for a

love

story, who knows. And omg, the art! I can never get over the art!!

It did get really sad when Emanon (Ema) gave birth and lost herself, even though I knew it’d happen and really hoped it wouldn’t so the feelings were strong but maaaan, finding out that Ryozo took things into his own hands and revived the carries is such a green flag!!

The slight detour of the Emanon story in the last installment wasn't for me, but this volume got back all the interest I had when I started reading about her wanderings.

Spoiler

This story is probably one of the most peaceful lifetimes that she had. In a way, her being an amnesiac was sort of like a ticket to her having a break from it all (despite the occasional nightmares). It's a short telling of her life as Ema, but it was definitely sweet how they portrayed what goes on when she finally settles down with someone and loses her memories. (Which answers my previous question from the last volume: she loses her memories, definitely. She's treated as a newborn as well, once she gives birth.
