Premise

The series follows the travels of Template:Nihongo ("No Name" backwards), a mysterious young woman who possesses a three-billion-year-old memory, dating back to the creation of life. Emanon has been reborn countless times, retaining all the memories and experiences from all her past lives. She wanders around the world with no clear destination in mind, and will continue to do so again and again many times in the future.

Reception

Emanon: Memories of Emanon was nominated for the Seiun Award in the Comic category in 2009.^[14] In 2019, at San Diego Comic-Con, the series was listed in the "Underrated but Awesome Manga" category by the annual "Best and Worst Manga" panel.^[15]

Writing for Otaku USA, Jason Thompson made a positive review of Emanon: Memories of Emanon, recommending the volume and commenting: "Beautiful artwork, philosophical sci-fi discussions, and atmospheric wordless sequences make up this tale of life as ferryboat ride."^[16] Sean Gaffney of A Case Suitable For Treatment commended the volume as well, adding that it "works very well as a stand-alone [volume] and gets into some of the big questions of how memory works." Gaffney also praised the dialogues and Tsuruta's artwork, concluding: "If you're looking for something introspective and thought-provoking, this is a very good title to pick up."^[17] In a more negative review, Demelza of Anime UK News criticized the story and characters, calling them "bland" and with no personality. Demelza, however, commended the artwork, the flow of the panels, and the expressiveness of the characters, and concluded: "The artwork is the only saving grace and even then it's not enough to sell me on the idea of more."^[18]
