Genre: Shounen, Supernatural
Shunpei Closer's grandfather, Alsyd Closer, was an odd man. He traveled around the world always coming back to Japan to tell his grandson all the amazing adventures he would have. Before leaving to Africa on Shunpei's 7th birthday, he gives him a teddy bear named Hyde. Six years have passed and one day Shunpei receives a mysterious package that contains a deadly surprise. To survive, he will learn more about his grandfather than he ever dared to dream and learn what it takes to be a real man, and not the coward he always thought it was all right to be.
The series is about Magic, but in his particular series, the magic works via curses placed on objects. The most popular curse is a doll curse, which brings a doll to life, and they are used to fight for their masters.
The entire world is out to kill Shunpei due to rumors someone spread that his death will allow the killer to gain tremendous magical powers. However, in the way is Hyde, the magical bad ass manly teddy bear created by Shunpei's grandfather.
The manga is a lot like Reborn! in this sense, with Hyde acting as Reborn in teaching Shunpei to become a stronger and better man. He slowly learns to use magic, gains allies, and goes off to defeat the mysterious man who spread rumors to kill him, save his grandfather, and prevent the world from destruction.
Chapter 49 is out.
