Brave Story (ブレイブ·ストーリー Bureibu Stōrī?) is a Japanese light novel written and illustrated by Miyuki Miyabe. The two volumes of Brave Story were simultaneously published by Kadokawa Shoten on March 2003. The story follows high-school student Wataru Mitani as he stumbles upon "Vision", a fantasy world, after his mother's horrific traffic accident. The novel is available in the English language by Viz Media.

Brave Story has spawned into a substantial media franchise. The novel was adapted into a manga by Yoichiro Ono and serialised in Shinchosha's Weekly Comic Bunch. Shinchosha collected the chapters of Brave Story in twenty tankōbon volumes and released them from April 2004 to May 2008.

Warner Bros. adapted the novel into an animated film on July 8, 2006. The film was nominated for "Animation of the Year" at the 2007 Japanese Academy Awards and also released in Australia, the United Kingdom, France, Taiwan and Germany.

The novel was loosely adapted into three video games: Sony Computer Entertainment's PSP game, Brave Story: New Traveler; Namco Bandai's Nintendo DS game, Brave Story: My Dreams and Wishes and Sony Computer Entertainment's PlayStation 2 game, Brave Story: Wataru's Adventure.

Contents

[edit] Plot

At school, Wataru Mitani, a meek boy, notices Mitsuru Ashikawa for his over-politeness and Kaori Daimatsu, Wataru's crush. One day, Wataru's parents divorce and his father runs off with his mistress, leaving his wife and Wataru behind. Later, Wataru's stepmother confronts her lover's wife over who Wataru's father really loves. After this argument, Wataru's mother, in shock, has a car crash and is seriously injured. One day after school, Wataru sees Mitsuru performing magic on school grounds. Without Mitsuru knowing, Wataru follows him through a portal in a house to a fantasy world called Vision. There Mitsuru is revealed to be a traveller, who wishes to resurrect his sister. Mitsuru and Wataru overcome an ambush by another traveller and Wataru is granted status of traveller by the guardian of Vision. Mitsuru tells Wataru to go out of Vision because of its dangers, showing his vicious nature by mercilessly killing a fellow Traveller.

Wataru and his friends have to collect five gemstones to go to the Tower of Destiny, where the Goddess grants each Traveler one wish. Each stone has a different quality: charity, bravery, faith, grace, and the power of darkness and light. During Wataru's adventures, he encounters friends and foes. Unfortunately, Wataru has to battle Mitsuru to find the gemstones.

[edit] Reception

Viz Media was awarded the Batchelder Award in 2008 for publishing Brave Story novel.[13][40][41] Matt Paddock from Game Vortex ponders on the "family dynamics and the pain of divorce or marital dysfunction is still so great in Japan that readers there are transfixed by this kind of stuff. Sad to say that American readers are probably inclined to care a bit less when Wataru's mom and dad are splitting up, since at least half of most marriages fail for whatever reason these days." He criticises Miyabe for not introducing the "fantasy world much earlier to capture the imagination of her readers".[42] Katherine Dacey from Pop Culture Shock describes "Miyabe’s dark fantasy" as "a Frankenbook, stitched together from pieces of EverQuest, Guin Saga, Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and The Wizard of Oz to create an entertaining, surprisingly adult adventure story whose seams sometime show."[43]

Brave Story was ranked fifth on a About.com poll for the best shōnen manga of 2007.[44] A.E. Sparrow from IGN commends Brave Story manga for Yochiro Ono's artwork and he compares them to "some of the more recent manhwa (Korean) titles that have also come out of the Tokyopop camp".[45] Mania.com's Nadia Oxford comments that the " unforgiving landscape" of the fantasy world "Vision" "seems to somehow reflect the mental state of its inhabitants".[46] Scott Campbell from ActiveAnime commends the manga for its "detailed art and involving story".[47] Snow Wildsmith from Teenreads commends Miyabe's "talent for switching between reality and fantasy, action and pathos, humor and seriousness, which helps make her story both more interesting and more believable".[48] Anime News Network's Carlo Santos criticises the manga for its opening plotline by saying it is a "remarkably bland rendition of the "young hero sucked into alternate world" formula, and it's easy to mistake this at first for some kind of lame-duck Rayearth/Twelve Kingdoms clone".[49] Katherine Dacey from Pop Culture Shock comments on Brave Story "distinguishes itself from dozens of similar series by fleshing out Wataru’s personal life. Wataru is no swaggering shonen stereotype: he’s insecure, hesitant, and crushed to learn that his dream girl has the hots for someone else." She also commends Wataru's parents sudden divorce "leaving Wataru to comfort his dumbfounded and grief-stricken mother while coming to terms with his own sense of loss. These scenes add an unexpected emotional depth to the story, demonstrating Wataru’s essential decency while providing him with a powerful motive for saving the world: he loves his mother".[50]

The Brave Story film was nominated for "Animation of the Year" at the 2007 Japanese Academy Awards.[51] John Li from MovieXclusive commends the film for its animation, saying "pleasing soft pastel colors and the occasional computer animation is still refreshing and pleasant to look at".[52] Mark Schilling from The Japan Times compares Wataru to Doraemon's Nobita. He compares "the "quest for five jewels" motif" to the Dragon Ball series and The Chronicles of Narnia.[53] John Smith from Impuse Gamer commends the film for its "beautiful animation techniques and some great sound sequences".[54] Mania.com's Chris Beveridge commends the Blu-ray Disc version of Brave Story for being "very expansive in its use of the surround channels during some of the action sequences". He also commends the film for its visual quality saying, "on our 50" set at 720p, the only "problems" I could find was that I had to be six inches (152 mm) from the screen and looking at the pixels to see some of the shiftiness in the animation in the scenes where dark blues and blacks mix".[55] Mania.com's Dani Moure compares the film's "old-fashioned" character designs to Studio Ghibli's.[56] Anime News Network's Brian Hanson criticises the film as "being one of the worst-looking big-budget anime films of recent memory, the story is a mash of bizarre coincidences held together haphazardly by forced and annoying bouts of exposition, with irritating and one-dimensional characters chirping throughout".[57]

Brave Story: New Traveller was generally well received by critics earning aggregated scores of 76% from Meta Critic and 79% from Game Rankings.[58][59] Joe Dodson from GameSpot commends Brave Story: New Traveler for its visual and sound effects but criticises its "homogenous and never-ending" monsters.[60] GamePro commends the game for "vibrant graphics, small load times and solid presentation on the whole" but criticises it for "some too-familiar aspects of story and gameplay, story may be too "kiddy" for some."[61] Louis Bedigian from GameZone commends the game's graphics saying that the game "pays homage to the 3D Final Fantasy games".[62] Matt Paddock from Game Vortex commends the game on its faithful translation by saying, "if any of the Harry Potter books had been translated as faithfully, the game versions of Rowling's work would be selling gold and platinum right now".[42] GameFAQs's Kashell Triumph commends the game's character designs, describing them as, "well designed, detailed, expressive, and fluid".[63] Greg Miller at IGN criticises the game for having "a set of the exact same events -- random battles, dungeon, random battles, boss".[64] GameSpy's Steve Steinberg criticises the game for its first three hours of gameplay as it shows "very slowly and methodically — the basics of a generic and less-than-compelling game".[65]
