Humans were suddenly summoned to become “Walkers”, and they needed to clear the tower to save the world.

Then, the “Stone of Regression” was discovered. Walkers could now “return” to the past. And slowly… everyone left.

The TV Drama series, Cherish Our Love Forever, was extremely popular in the year of 1998. Twelve years later, after an invitation from the team who produced the movie based on this drama, Summerzoo Studio happily released a manhua with the same name as the drama* to be their Valentine's Present to their many fans in 2011. This collection of 5 manhua oneshots brought about the first collaboration between five "manhuaka" in the Summerzoo Studio: Xia Da, Zhu Le Tao, Yao Fei La, Yu Yan Shu, and Jiang Xiao Chen. These 5 oneshots portray five unique love stories with different styles, and different kinds of love and romance. Unfortunately, we're only scanlating this one and the one by Zhu Le Tao, "Love in Kilimanjaro." Still, look forward to it!

*Note: Both the drama and film were called the same, however, in the English translation, the 1998 drama came to be "Cherish Our Love Forever" and the film made in 2011 changed into "Eternal Moment." After some "soul searching," I found that the collection is called "Eternal Moment," taking after the film title. That's why we're using EM as our title and not the other one. <<less
