RedFlower

Kéli is a headstrong teenager who dreams of only one thing: undergoing the Katafali ritual to become a man in the eyes of his tribe. However, the young boy struggles to fully embrace his people’s peaceful philosophy, as well as the wise counsel of his elders... That’s when Anansi, the sorcerer, has a vision of the apocalypse: the village is about to be invaded by strangers endowed with a mysterious and deadly power! The clan members now face a dilemma: how can they defend themselves against this enemy when their beliefs demand nonviolence? Is this Kéli’s chance to prove his worth? A bold modern fusion of manga and the ancestral tales of African griots, RedFlower is an action-adventure shonen that will sweep you into the explosive clash of two opposing cultures—one steeped in animism and spirituality, the other for whom the end justifies the means. All while exploring the same central question: is it our actions or their consequences that make us adults?
