Dark Bring -- a magical stone and ruler of the
dark side -- awakes after a fifty-year-long
respite and falls into the hands of Demon Card,
an evil organization bent on world domination.
Only one thing can resist Dark Bring's evil
powers: a sacred stone called Rave. Demon Card
dispatches an assassin after the Rave Master; a
man called Shiba and the only living person with
the power to use the sacred stone. Mortally
wounded in the assault, Shiba is distressed to
learn that he no longer has control over Rave.
Will this mean that the world will pass over to
the dark side?
But wait! Shiba was not alone. Next to him stands
a boy called Haru. Miraculously, the boy
rekindles life in the sacred stone when he takes
Rave in his hands and becomes its chosen
successor. With Rave's loyal servant, Puru (a
dog!), Haru sets out on a quest to locate the
other four remaining Raves that supposedly exist
somewhere in the world. Only with these other
sacred stones can the evil Demon Card -- more
awesome a foe than ever could be imagined -- be
finally vanquished.
An unusual style of fantasy and adventure for
SHONEN MAGAZINE, "Rave" has been
pupular with readers of all ages since its
earliest installments. Popular Puru merchandize
include stuffed dolls and key holders. Synopsis taken from
