Young Wataru Mitani's life is a mess. His father has abandoned him, and his mother has been hospitalized after a suicide attempt. Desperately he searches for some way to change his life--a way to alter his fate.This is Brave Story, a new graphic novel from Viz Media. The story centers around Wataru Mitani, a young boy who receives an amazing second chance at a new life.
Wataru must make his way through a magical world called Vision to find the Goddess of Fate who lives in (where else?) the Tower of Destiny. But first, he has to outwit a real life rival and find five gemstones - charity, bravery, faith, grace and the power of darkness and light - that will give him control of the Demon's Bane and allow him to unlock the future.
If he succeeds, he can bring his family back together again. But if he fails... well, you can imagine what the land of Vision might hold.
Created by Miyuki Miyabe, Brave Story is for anyone who's ever wished they could change their life. Full of mystery, intrigue and of course, a little magic, Brave Story is a must-have for your summer reading list.
