MÄR

Ginta Toramizu is a 14-year-old boy who doesn't have much going for him: he's near-sighted, struggles in school, is terrible at sports, and to make matters worse—he's short! However, Ginta is a dreamer who has had the same recurring dream 102 times, always set in the same fantastical world where he is a hero with all the abilities he lacks in real life. One day, a supernatural figure appears at Ginta's school and transports him to a mysterious and thrilling new world. In this magical universe filled with wonder, he finds himself strong, tough, agile—and miraculously, he can see without his glasses! Thus begins Ginta's mystical quest to find the magical items known as "ÄRMS," one of which might hold the power to send him back home. Joining him on this epic journey are his companion Jack and Babbo, a valuable, living, talking iron-ball weapon with a mustache that everyone seems to want but only Ginta can possess!
