| Abstract: | A manga, animated series and live-action drama named Angel Heart based on the work of Tsukasa Hojo, centers on a fascinating and somewhat controversial topic in neurocardiology, that of cellular memory. Angel Heart follows a heart transplant recipient as well as Ryo Saeba, also known as the underground sweeper ‘City Hunter’, who was the partner of the heart donor. Throughout the story some thoughts and memories are seen to resurface within the transplant recipient, in a highly dramatized manner, which were not originally her own. Cellular memory is a somewhat controversial scientific concept, often discussed and disputed, as either fact or fiction. |
