I was with this story up until it started giving me plot holes. It started out with such a refreshing 8 colored chapters, and then followed by the year '67 story which, admittedly, really bummed me out. Halfway through, I was thinking if it was a great idea continuing it after the first volume. But then again, I always try to make it a habit of finishing literature I've already started.

I'm now wondering what becomes of Emanon's previous incarnations? Once they give birth to her and raise her up to a certain point, they will have no memories of anything? At all?

His twin being pyrokinetic really put a very big Question Mark in my head, too. What's the point of that?

First off- beautiful art and so much was in color! Overall, I didn't find this one as impactful as Memories of Emanon. I think this one felt more atmospheric though, with the different settings and even more mysterious as there is at least one more person who also has "abilities". And a twin! In three billion years, Emanon has family, and...it's complicated. I'm eager to see more about him, these black clothed figures that followed her in the woods and what we can learn about what these different beings in this world represent.
