I honestly don't know what this manga is about or what, if anything, the mangaka (Kenju Tsuruta) behind it has done before. But I was attracted to the art style and so gave the first volume (linked above) a chance. It's good.
Edit: Oh, he did Spirit of Wonder. His art's definitely improved! So… more reason to read this.
As I said, I still don't know what it's about, really, but the premise is fairly simple: A sci-fi loving boy (well, 20ish, but still adolescent in many ways) in the '60s, full of the romantic inclinations and emotional turbulence of that age, encounters a beautiful girl on a boat. He's coming back from a bit of a wanderlust period, bla bla. Basically, this girl claims to have stored genetic memories from her ancestors - all of them - leading back 3 billion years. It seems like it might be a love story, or a sci-fi story, or some kind of magical realism piece. So far, if nothing else, I like the atmosphere that it captures, this sort of blend of lassitude and organic urgency that goes along with boats and young love. I'd recommend it, and would be interested to hear others' opinions.
