Description: The +Anima are beings who possess animal-like powers.  In this alternate universe, they walk among us--shunned by society--as they search for others who have similar traits.  Cooro is a crow-like boy who is on a quest to find other +Anima.  When he meets Husky, a disrespectful boy with a past shrouded in mystery, he finds a kindred spirit who also possesses animal-like powers.  Together, they try to gain acceptance in a world cruel to anyone or anything that is different.
