What truly distinguishes Sou Bou Tei is its nuanced portrayal of courage.The series doesn’t rely on displays of brute force, but rather demonstrates that even the moast ordinary and vulnerable individuals – like Takoha and Midoriro – can summon extraordinary strength from within to confront the darkness. This theme resonates powerfully, showcasing the author’s remarkable storytelling ability.
