Description

Teenage orphan Rei longs to be the greatest fighter in the world, but his animal trainer (a trainer who can turn into any animal, that is) is training him to save it!
This joint World Bank/VIZ Media series addresses global issues through manga graphic novels targeting teenagers. The first 3 volumes focus on poverty, HIV/AIDS, and the environment. But the series’ immediate appeal is the coming-of-age tale of orphaned teenager Rei, who dreams of becoming the greatest fighter in the world! Rei’s trainer takes the form of various animals and, much to Rei’s disappointment, strives to develop his student’s mind, heart, and spirit more than his fighting technique! Though the themes are grim, the pages are full of action, romance, and even humor. The guises Rei’s trainer assumes inevitably lead to misunderstandings and slapstick.Rei’s pride and ambition set him up for many a fall, but throughout the series, his good heart and inability to walk away from those in need makes him an engaging and likeable protagonist who will appeal to young men and women alike.
Battling HIV/AIDS
Fifteen-year-old orphan Rei survives by his wits and guts on the mean streets of the world. His fortunes seem to look up when he meets a mysterious stranger who offers to help him achieve his dream of becomong the greatest martial artist in the world…But Rei’s trainer is more interested in developing his mind, spirit, and-ugh!-heart than his thrashing, raging, fighting moves! And Rei’s master turns out to be a real animal! In fact, Rei never knows what animal he’s going to turn into next!
Now Rei’s training journey takes him to the neon lights of the big city, where he meets some cool guys with smooth moves, and falls head-over-heels for a feisty young cocktail waitress! But the woman he loves is hiding a terrible family secret…
