Wolf’s Rain PDF Novel Review by Bones

Wolf’s Rain is a manga series written by the animation studio BONES and illustrated by Toshitsugu Iida. It is based on the anime of the same name, which was also produced by BONES and written by Keiko Nobumoto. The manga consists of two volumes, each containing six chapters, that cover the first half of the anime’s story.

The story is set in a dystopian future where humans live in domed cities and wolves are believed to be extinct. However, some wolves have survived by disguising themselves as humans using a special ability called “lunar scent”. These wolves are drawn to the scent of the Lunar Flower, a mythical plant that is said to lead them to Paradise, a legendary place where they can be free. The main protagonist is Kiba, a white wolf who is determined to find Paradise. He meets three other wolves, Tsume, Hige, and Toboe, and together they embark on a journey across the barren wasteland, facing various enemies and obstacles along the way. They also encounter Cheza, a mysterious girl who is the key to Paradise, and who shares a deep bond with Kiba.
