Emanon: Emanon Wanderer · review
Spoiler warning
This review may discuss plot details.
Emanon is a really intriguing story about life, and whatever the preconceived notion of 'Destiny' is meant to be. From a thematic standpoint, this series is absolutely beautiful, the characters feel real, and the art is amazing. However, it is obvious to anyone who's read this that it lacks in the sense of completion. Multiple story arcs are completely left behind, with it only being chocked up to, 'it will happen in the future'. The character writing is great, the atmosphere always feels refreshing, and there is so much to this world I want to learn. Why is Emanon the way she is, why didshe have a brother, why is Hikari a time jumper, and why does the boy who knows everything exist?
Emanon's answer to these questions, is to stop worrying, and to just live. It will all come. It will happen. Not sure when, but in your lifetime it will happen.
And while beautiful, it also leaves a unsatisfying aftertaste in the readers mouth, which I suppose leads back to what Emanon said to Kodzuki, it's a feeling that is all too human.
