To Your Eternity, Volume 5 by Yoshitoki Oima

4.0

I can't stop reading this series. On one hand, this manga is casually enjoyable, very much so, and I often want to reach for a book like that in my downtime. It also has the tone of an epic poem, like 'The Odyssey', where the destiny of our protagonist is guided by the winds of fate and there's no clue where we'll end up next. A good and a bad thing here, maybe, because it sometimes feels random and underdeveloped. However, we're dealing with an immortal, and time transcendence is a very real phenomenon. The longer you experience life, the smaller and faster moments in time become, so there's a temporal quality to the story arc that often feels breezy. Is that intentional? I don't know, but if I can think of a good reason for it within the context of the book, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.
