A new series begins from the artist of the Eisner-nominated Wandering Island! The year is 1967, and a young Japanese man is thinking about the future. On one side of the water, the war is raging in Vietnam; far away on the other side, the Apollo Project has just met with disaster as three astronauts die in a capsule fire. And here and now, on a long nighttime ferry ride back home, he will meet and fall in love with a mysterious young woman who carries a past deeper and more profound than his dreams and fears of tomorrow. Her name, she jokes, is no name--Emanon...and she can never be forgotten, any more than she can forget...

The art is gorgeous. Emanon is cool...however I read so many versions of the “unremarkable man meets mysterious/supernatural girl and that changes his life in some way” stories that I...find it hard to say it's anything more than “alright, I guess”.

I guess I expected a bit more of the story, but the art was stunning, and the concept was beautiful. Reincarnation will never not be touching for me.
