Reddit mentions of Wandering Island

I absolutely adore Tsurata Kenji's art, I've bought up everything I could find of it. When I first heard about this getting licensed I was incredulous, as I never expected his work to get an English treatment. But now it's out and hopefully it can get some of his work some much needed English attention. I'll cross my fingers and hope Emanon get's the same. You guys go out and buy a copy, now!!!

There's so much to praise about this manga and this author in general. I love his attention to detail. A lot of mangas and movies depict homes as neat minimalist set pieces whereas in real life, there is stuff lying around everywhere in our rooms that reveal our characters. We never get a flashback or conversation with Mikura's grandfather but we understand the depth of their relationship through all of the stuff that's left behind after he dies. His art is just amazing at conveying emotions and atmosphere without words.

I really hope he continues this series and I plan on pre-ordering this book for when its released in english: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1506700799

I'm pretty surprised that Dark Horse chose to publish this instead of Memories of Emanon which is more popular, hopefully that means the author is planning on resuming this series.
