Digimon Tamers

When three Digimon fans -- Rika, Henry, and our protagonist Takato -- suddenly find themselves with "real" Digimon, they discover that managing a living creature is far more challenging than controlling pixels on a TV screen. The kids attempt to become Digimon 'Tamers,' or Digimon caretakers, but each has differing views on what this role should involve. Rika believes Digimon should fight, Henry insists they should never engage in combat, and Takato finds himself somewhere in the middle. Being a Tamer isn't just about holding one belief over another. It's about learning and adapting for the benefit of everyone involved. However, they have a long journey ahead, and their challenges are only just starting.
