seiryuu ri

Ri Seiryuu, found on a small rescue boat along with another shipwrecked man, is more than just a castaway. Rescued as a little boy by a fishing boat, both the crew and the captain noticed that something was amiss with the child. He never smiled and acted oddly around others. The captain of the fishing boat decided to conduct an experiment with the boy. Until he smiled, Seiryuu was not allowed to leave his confined space. Separated from the crew, he lived in a room that, though small, was filled with books, a TV, and videos. These materials contained information about human behavior and society. Growing up in this environment, surrounded by knowledge of killing, destruction, and hate, Seiryuu remained confined until his body had fully matured.
