Lala the Memory Collector: A Graphic Novel

Description

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.
