Description
In Orisha, Volume 1, the world's most powerful human is a humble African teenager who has the potential to save humankind. This African shonen manga fantasy features fun-loving teen Aboki, who unexpectedly receives the superhuman power of the Orisha, powerful beings imbued with godlike power who are born from celestial seeds that randomly appear throughout the world and can use their immense power for good or evil. When Aboki gains a seed, he is reluctant to use the power at all. As he builds alliances with loyal companions, Aboki must also prevent those who wish to use his new Orisha powers for their own conquests. But can he trust everyone around him? Will his happy outlook on life be ruined by a gnawing cynicism that humankind is inherently corrupt? Orisha, Volume 1 is an uplifting tale of how those with superhuman powers are connected with the planet-and to life itself. Orisha is rated T for Teen, recommended for ages 13 and up.
