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.
Saving the World, One Person at a Time
Teenage 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 becoming the greatest martial artist ever… 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!
On 6 Quests?
Rei confronts the biggest crises facing humanity–from wars fought by children to global warming to AIDS.
On 6 Journeys…
Rei explores the corners of the world and wrestles a jaguar, blushes a lot around girls, solves the mystery of the lagoon of the vanishing fish, baby-sits, battles a shark, rides an elephant, gets thrown into the ocean to drown, consorts with tapirs, exposes corrupt public officials, falls in love, gets kidnapped by soldiers, stretches his wings, arrests environmental terrorists, gets a nice tan, saves orphans–and even undergoes a shocking transformation himself. No, it’s not what you think!
Plus much, much more!
