Legendz

The Legendz manga is about a boy at Ryudo Elementary School (Ryūdō Gakkō) named Ken Kazaki, who along with his loyal Windragon Shiron battles other people who raise and train monsters. He later enters the Legendz Carnival competition, where he learns of an evil that threatens the world.

The Legendz anime moves away from the Pokémon-ish "gotta catch em all" and monster training business and deals more with the overall background of the monster characters and their story. The Legendz anime opens with the discovery of the "Soul Dolls" which contain legendary creatures of incredible power within them. The Dark Wiz company (DWC) wants access to all of them for unknown reasons, but four of the Soul Dolls go missing. The majority of the anime takes place in Brooklyn, New York City, with the Brooklyn Bridge as a much-featured landmark.

The manga is illustrated by Haruno Makoto and the story is by Hirai Rin. The manga was published in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump in Japan, and the manga is published in English by VIZ Media.
