Wash it all away vol 1 by Mitsuru Hattori

4/23/2025

0 Comments

 
Cover of Wash it All Away volume 1. Kinme is holding an armful of clothing and walking through her store front.
Wakana Kinme can’t remember anything about her life previous to two years ago, except how to wash clothes. She runs a local specialty cleaning service that does wet cleaning, stain removal, polishing of leather, and more. Kinme even offers to pick up or drop off items, which is a popular service for her aging clients given the hilly community in which they live. After a long day of work, nothing hits the spot more than a dip in the hot bath or a hot spring, something her small town is known for.

Cover of Emanon volume 1. Emanon is standing sideways with her hands in her jeans pockets. She's wearing a tan sweater and her brown hair is flowing around her face. Behind her is a rocky ocean coastline. She has on a yellow backpack.
Illustrated by Kenji Tsuruta
​
In 1967, a man gets on a ferry and meets a mysterious woman who gives her name as Emanon. At first, they pose as a couple to shield her from some lecherous older men, but the two strike up conversation and discover some similar interests, including a love of science fiction. As the night wears on, Emanon confides in him that she has the memory of ever iteration of her cells before her, that she can remember the entire history of the planet Earth, and that she has loved many times and lost that many over. At first, he's not sure whether to believe the wild story, but morning comes, and the potential loss of someone so perfect brings more of her story into perspective.

Cover of Itaewon Class volume 1. A girl with short blonde hair and a boy with a buzzed cut stand back to back. They are in dark brown coats and both are smiling slightly. Behind them is a lit street lamp.
Saeroyi Park's father just landed a new job in a new city, which means Saeroyi has to start fresh at a new school. On day one, he lands himself on the wrong side of the kid who "runs" the school, who happens to be the son of his dad's boss! But, rather than apologize for doing what he thought was right, he gets expelled, and his dad loses his job. The two decide to open a chicken restaurant and seemingly land on their feet, but it's not long before tragedy find them again, and Saeroyi finds himself in prison for attempted murder. After serving his time, he has to decide the best way to get revenge on those who have wronged him, and making a successful restaurant in in the thriving Seoul neighborhood of Itaewon is how he's going to do it. But first, he needs to make a lot of money, as Itaewon is extremely expensive to operate out of.
