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...

Emanon's wanderings across late-1960s Japan bring her across other lives in small country towns, with each encounter leaving people transformed in her wake. Yet when love once again leads to pregnancy and the start of a new cycle in Emanon's birth and rebirth, she is confronted with something she has never before borne: twins, one of them, for the first time, a boy. Will he too grow up to inherit her immortal memories, as all her daughters have before? Vol. 2 of four.

"MIkura Amelia is a free-spirited young woman who lives alone with her cat and operates an air-delivery service to Japan's small island communities thousands of miles out in the Pacific. When her grandfather dies, she finds he left her a package addressed to an island that doesn't exist"--

A fantastic fable of foes, freaks, friendship and freedom... A page turning story that leaves the reader pondering: What does it truly mean to be human? ED BONILLA Where Tom and Huck meet George and Lenny there you will find Moe and Bazil on the road to Memories End. This is a buddy book. A road map to a mythical place where a chimpanzee can find freedom and an elephant can finally forget. The two traveling companions escape the circus for very different reasons. One looking toward an exciting new future-the other trying to erase a tragic past. One is on the road to excitement and adventure while the other is searching for forgiveness and redemption. There are also those with good intentions, and those with bad attitudes, that will stop at nothing to prevent the two adventurers from ever finding the Promised Land. This is a story about friendship and fellowship and a search for something glorious inside us all. The tale of a wanderer and a dreamer. Read. Wonder. Dream. Memories End is a fantastic fable of foes, freaks, friendship and freedom. Moe and Bazil are an odd couple for the ages, seeking after the self-realization of their own sentience and a redemption for their animalistic sins. Escaping from a circus where the Hermaphrodite leader of the freaks performs bizarre experiments for his/her freakshow, our chimp and elephant duo find more than they expected. They discover love through fellowship, and also their own humanity along the way to...Memories End. A page turning story that leaves the reader pondering: What does it truly mean to be human? - Ed Bonilla- Author of 5 Clones and 2020's first place winner of the Kelly J. Abbott Short Story Contest Friendship, like love and hate, cannot have just one standard definition; instead, it has as many definitions as there are people in the world. And I was pleased to read Gary Petras' definition of friendship exhibited in his wonderfully creative, fun and exciting story about the journey undertaken by Moe, a chimp, and Bazil, an elephant, to Memories End, all while encountering a number of obstacles along the way. So, if you are a fan of buddy stories that will keep you engaged in the fate of the characters and cheering for them throughout, then you will definitely enjoy Memories End. - Jonathan R.
