AN EXPLORATION OF AFRICAN MYTHOS THROUGH THE EYES OF A YOUNG ASPIRING WARRIOR!
Keli is an impetuous teenager who dreams of only one thing: to undergo the Katafali ritual in order to become a man in the eyes of his tribe. However, the young boy struggles to fully embrace the peaceful philosophy of his people, as well as the wise counsel of his elders... It is then that Anansi, the sorcerer, has a vision of an apocalypse: the village is going to be invaded by foreigners endowed with mysterious and deadly powers! The members of the clan now face a dilemma: how to defend themselves when their beliefs impose non-violence? A modern blend of manga and ancestral African tales, Red Flower is an action and adventure Shonen that will take you into the explosive encounter of two opposing cultures, one filled with animism and spirituality.
