Now and Then, Here and There

32 comments

It’s another Emanon-rific Sunday here at Kotonoha as we are releasing all 8 chapters of Wandering Emanon, thus bringing this project to a close. While these all-color chapters are certainly very nice to look at, I personally consider them more an extended bonus than something relevant to the main story. Chronologically they are set after Wandering Emanon ’67 and you will find the events of ’67 referenced here. This is the main reason why we decided to scanlate them in the order we did. Both parts are included in the volume batch on the project page. This is currently all there is of Wandering Emanon. The second volume won’t be out for at least another 1-2 years. It’ll be interesting to see if Tsuruta decides to continue the story of Emanon’s brother or if he goes back and adapts another short story of the second novel. Either option would be great.

Just a little side note, in case you are wondering about the character Hikari. She is a time traveler. She first appears in the short story “Ashibiki Daydream” contained in Omoide Emanon (the first novel). She and Emanon first met 1.2 billion years ago. Ever since they have been trying to reconnect with each other on many occasions.

What? There are other releases? Why, yes! We also have new chapters of Raqiya, Ran to Haiiro no Sekai, and Wolfsmund. I’d like to thank our old friend zindryr for stepping in and translating Wolfsmund for us. Maybe now we can finally catch up with the Japanese release.

  7. Wandering Emanon is fantastic — I wish I could read Japanese for the sake of checking out the light novels, now. That last chapter seriously gave me chills (as did the final conversation between Emanon and Hikari).

    Ran to Haiiro… is great, too, as always!

    Thanks so much, Nomad!

  8. Many thanks for Emanon and Raqiya.

  9. Is there anywhere that describes her relationship with Hikari and what exactly she is compared to Emanon?

      Hikari is a time traveler. She first appears in the short story “Ashibiki Daydream” contained in “Omoide Emanon” (the first novel). The first time she met Emanon was 1.2 billion years ago. Ever since they have been trying to reconnect with each other on many occasions. I actually would love to see this particular story adapted by Tsuruta in full.

      • :o
        I thought I had read what was available of Emanon’s story in english but I don’t remember anything about a time traveller. Was it a part of the already translated stories?

        Thanks a lot for the work as always!

        • Nomad Soul says:

          No, this story was never adapted into manga.

          • armanducha says:

            content “Omoide Emanon” (the first novel) …. if you can complete the whole novel

            the truth that history is interesting, I want to know more …

    Emanon and the little boy reminded me of Misago from YKK and the kid somehow :S

  17. Will of the Wisps says:

    I would like to chime in with a big thank you for translating the wanderings of Emmanon! The first work captivated me, and I was ecstatic to find that the sequel is translated a few year after I gave up looking for it.

  18. Thanks for the release, I love Emanon ^^

    But I was wandering, if someone can answer me who is the old man that apear in the pages 200 forward? I didn’t undestand this part.

  19. Kamugin says:

    Many thanks for these new releases!
    Searching around I discovered that the first part (the colored part) of Wandering Emanon was released by Gantz Waitingroom before you did. Now I wish I could read the light novels, I can’t wait another 1-2 years for a new release.

  20. thanks a bunch for wolfsmund and raqiya!

  21. Thanks for the stealth? Green Blood release. :)

  22. Tae-seo says:

    Go go go go!!! Raqiya!!!!

  23. Hi guys. I just got 2 vols of manga erotics mag (featuring march -2011- chapter and may -2012- chapter of A girl by the sea).
    Let me know if you’re interested in those, I dunno if I’ll get more numbers, but maybe it could help you?

    Thanks for your awesome work.
    Take care.

    • Nomad Soul says:

      Thanks for your offer, but we actually prefer to wait for the paperback release and work off that.

      • Oh, it’s okay then.

        The series is at chapter 16 by now, so I guess vol 2 will be out by January of next year :)

  25. Thanks for the releases.
    That udon manga is nice. Got to love the bluntness of the guy at the end.
