To Your Eternity

To Your Eternity

To Your Eternity

A manga about an immortal being who slowly learns about humanity through the experiences it accumulates interacting with individuals over multiple generations.

We’ve discussed this manga on a recent episode.

This is Yoshitoki Oima‘s follow up to her award winning masterpiece A Silent Voice. I’ll be honest. It took me a long time to really get into this manga because it’s such a slow burn. It takes multiple story arcs for the immortal Fushi to even learn how to speak and interact properly with humans around him. I think volume 8 is where I finally got into the story and now there’s been a wild change that’s got me hooked to read the newest chapters.

Currently To Your Eternity isn’t as good as A Silent Voice but I’ll continue to read this unique series by Oima until it’s complete. It’s available in English from Kodansha Comics.
