Review: The Lantern of Lost Memories by Sanaka Hiiragi

August 2, 2024 by Paige Leave a Comment

The Lantern of Lost Memories by Sanaka Hiiragi

This is a beautiful, uplifting story exploring a kind of ‘in-between’ place where the dead go to view their memories before they move onto the afterlife. It’s a story that deals with death and grief without actually touching on those subjects directly. You feel for all these people and those they’ve left behind, but it’s also a celebration of their life and what they achieved. The outlier here is the final character, Mitsuru, who tragically dies at the hands of her parents, but ultimately she gets her happy ending still.
