About Emanon Volume 1: Memories of Emanon

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…
