Hikaru

The allegorical story questions how the legend of the one with the ‘Name Above All Names’ can be fulfilled when the greatest of the Royal Warriors, Miyako, challenges the rule and status of Kana, Hikaru and Seirei and threatens the safety of Ningen, the caretaker of the grasslands.

With beautiful anime illustrations throughout, the story hints at key Bible truths in a creative way. Worth persevering through the first chapters when the scene is being set, once into the story, the pace picks up and the implicit theological parallels are compelling. The final Act of the story is the author’s explanation of their intentions and an outline of how each character matches a Biblical counterpart, complete with NLT references and an encouragement to explore the real story for themselves.
