Lala the Memory Collector（Sui Kohno）
Is death truly the end if you are never forgotten?Like most girls, Lala loves music, her friends and her family. However, Lala is not like most girls. Lala is a "collector" from the Memory Clan, a group of enchanted beings who are called upon to remember the lives of every human when they die.Unique lives create unique endings; no two are the same. The Memory Clan's purpose is to keep each person's story alive. The clan also has one simple rule: "Do not get involved in human affairs." For Lala, this isn't easy since she is absolutely entranced by humans and their stories. As a result, she risks losing everything and everyone she loves.Beautifully told and illustrated by talented author and artist Sui Kohno, Lala the Memory Collector weaves a poignant tale of life, death, and one girl's desire to understand what it means to be human. Reads right-to-left, in the Japanese style.『ララのうた』（主婦と生活社刊）英訳版死を迎える人々の記憶を収集して保存する「記憶の一族」の少女ララ。多様な人生と多様な結末に魅了されるララは「人に関わってはならない」という一族の掟に疑問を抱きます。才能豊かな作家、河野スイによって美しく語られ、描かれた本書は、生と死、そして人間であることが何を意味するのかを理解したい一人の少女の切ない物語を描いています。 作者はSui Kohno。 出版社はチャールズ・イー・タトル出版。 現在1巻まで刊行。 最新刊発売日は2025-05-30。 読者評価 3.52 / 5。
