Interpretation In Pursuance Of Books Memories of Emanon (Emanon #1)

“Memories of Emanon,” by Kajio Shinji is a very interesting short story, included in the 4-volume collection Speculative Japan. It was not surprising that the manga rendition was just as "memorable."

The only other thing translated into English by this author is “Reiko’s Universe Box.” These two brief short stories are enough to give me an idea of his author’s style. I do wish more of his stuff was translated, but I’m always wishing that, and I’ll probably always keep wishing that, unless I somehow magically start reading Japanese. The concept is unique, as far as my experience has proven – at least no one has come up with this idea in anything I’ve come across. It’s an example of what you can do with a solid S-F idea. You take one idea and make a story out of it. What makes the story compelling? It’s not just the idea, but the two main characters. There are some amusing side-characters, but the main male character has personality, and a good voice, and the female character is intelligent and interesting. You get their chemistry. It has the quality of a Haruki Murakami story, but with less rhythm, the same amount of humor, and more science. Murakami is like Philip K. Dick and Kajio Shinji is more in the vein of Heinlein. I miss good science fiction with an emphasis on style and characters. Even Heinlein gets dry sometimes and recycles a lot. But I could see myself reading the whole series of short stories about Emanon, if it ever gets the full treatment. The manga proved to be good, though it offered nothing new to me that the story hadn’t already provided besides fluid and exceptionally good artwork. What’s more, the story is tinged with the nostalgia that you feel when you meet that one person who makes a big impression on you – it has the quality of that cherished memory that you are unwilling to let go of, and their imprint of you seems to last forever, even if the inspiration they provided was minor, brief and unexplainable, it is impossible to expunge from memory.

Comment On Regarding Books Memories of Emanon (Emanon #1)

The girl with no name that holds the memory of the human race in her mind. Amazing art.



(Pursuing my goal of reading a bit of every type of manga.) Memories of Emanon (Omoide Emanon) is a masterpiece manga about a girl whose memories preserve intact the 3-billion history of all creatures it descends from. (Manga type: mystical, psychological, romance.) Overall, beautiful, really beautiful artwork, a somewhat intriguing story, and a strong female character.Artwork: Truly great! There's slice-of-life, photo-realistic quality on display. There's also manga at its best, with

This is a 3+ for me.The pictures are so beautiful (4+) and I like aspects of the story but storywise it feels like something is missing.The images have a lot of sensitivity.There is a melancholy and a sort of calmness. 3 words that describe this comic:Subtle, beautiful and melancholicI just would have wanted to have been able to connect better with it but the story wasn't good enough for that to happen.

9/10Really, REALLY beautiful. The main male character kind of reminded me of the bland protagonists we see in Murakami novels. But the story being told here is quite sad and philosophical. August cant come soon enough!

Onboard a ship in 1967, a college student meets a mysterious girl, Emanon ("no name" backwards) who, after seeing him reading a novel in which memories can be passed from one person to another, confides to him that she is three billion years old mentally. Physically she's seventeen, but she has memories dating back to the beginning of life on Earth.This has lovely art and is intriguing, but I find it annoying that it's not actually about Emanon, but about this guy who meets her and how that

Excellent. Especially Tsuruta's art, which is clean and expressive. Judging by his previous work Forget-me-not, Tsuruta likes drawing long-haired girls in jeans; it's no wonder the heroines in both bear a strong resemblance to each other. But whereas Mariel often looked bored and jaded, Enamon is bright-eyed, freckled and startlingly wise. She is both serious and lighthearted and you can see it in her face. I love the way Tsuruta draws eyes--he fills in the irises with light and radial patterns.
