BIND IBD

Sinopse

The first volume of Bind, a supernatural saga, opens its pages with tales of those who are simultaneously endangered and empowered by an age where the fluctuation of emotion determines everything. Young men and women, unfettered by finality and untempered by lived experience. At the advent of a new evolutionary epoch, their adolescent possibility may very well spell glorious salvation-or grisly demise.á'IâÇÖm so scared, Mom. Scared of whatâÇÖs happening to you, scared of what IâÇÖm becoming. Please, tell me you donâÇÖt hate me. Tell me thereâÇÖs still hope for me to make things right.'Eighteen-year-old Kichiro Takahashi lives a life of placid passivity in Tokyo, scraping by and supporting his mother with middling means. He fears the variance of change-the instability it brings, the same instability wreaked by an absent father and a taboo name-but becomes victim to it nonetheless. When faced with loss at the hands of forces mortal and supernatural he must evolve: he must learn to master and embody his fate.á'ItâÇÖs alright, Maya. You donâÇÖt need to apologize. YouâÇÖre our leader, so I respect your decision. Just tell me whatâÇÖs going on.'Raven is a criminal organization a hundred men strong, operating within a sliver of Kabukicho. What it lacks in numbers, it makes up for with fierce, tooth-and-nail grit. But when RavenâÇÖs wings of jurisdiction are overshadowed by a greater and more sinister bird of prey, its young leader Maya is tasked with an impossible mission: to snuff out the brilliant beacon which illuminates all of Japan.á'Whether youâÇÖre telling a joke or saving a life, always be the one who brings light to others. Promise me youâÇÖll never let anyone get hurt when youâÇÖre around. Be the hero I know you are...ignite, my grandson.'Equal parts university student, Craves employee, and self-proclaimed superhero, Ryoko Ryunosuke burns hotter and brighter than any average flame. Yet there is more to his fiery compassion than his grandfatherâÇÖs brushes with death as a metropolitan firefighter. Driven to the brink of extinguishment by the promises he must fulfill, he must learn what truly fuels him-a spark from his very soul-and set it ablaze in incandescent triumph.áIn an age plagued with senseless depravity andádisillusionment, modern-day Japan suffersáunprecedented levels of violence and theft. Butápetty crimes are far from civilizationâÇÖs greatestáthreat, the true danger comes from within.á Umbrals.á
