+Anima

In this early Tokyopop original manga, a group of children born with mysterious animal-like powers—the "+Anima"—navigate a world that fears and misunderstands them. Written by Alethea Nibley and Karen S. Ahlstrom with art and story by Natsumi Mukai, the ten-issue series follows their search for belonging and the truth behind their abilities. A gentle, character-driven fantasy from the mid-2000s, it stands out for its quiet exploration of prejudice and found family.
