Synopsis
Ren is only a boy when he is sent to live with distant relatives after his mother dies. Upset and angry at the world around him, the youngster runs away and soon collides with warrior bear Kumatetsu, the rebellious heir to the throne of the Beast world, who happens to be on one of his jaunts up to human civilisation. Deciding to adopt Ren and return to the Beast world, the notoriously lazy Kumatetsu must prove himself worth of inheriting the kingdom by training Ren as his apprentice. The stubborn boy and bear butt heads during training but form a strong bond regardless. However, when Ren nears adulthood, he starts to become curious about life back in the human world that he left behind. This Japanese animation is an ode to unconventional families and remembering your roots.
