In time for its 25th anniversary, this is a fresh new package for the seminal queer coming-of-age novel Rainbow Boys, featuring a brand new note from the author and an introduction by Maia Kobabe, author of Gender Queer.

Life is hard in Rainshadow City, a place where poverty and corruption are rife and where inhabitants are terrorized by an underground criminal organization known as the Lucky Crows. Toshiko, Jun and Mei Kawakami are family, bonded through loyalty if not by blood. They live outside the city's increasingly corrupt law, and are seeking revenge on the Lucky Crows for the murder of their beloved 'aunt' Reiko. Haru is the son of the Emperor, destined to one day rule over the whole Rainshadow Archipelago and uphold his mother's ignoble legacy. Currently however, he seems more interested in making friends with magical Sun Spirits that only he can see. Theo, forced to leave his homeland, is a reluctant foot-soldier for the Lucky Crows. He doesn't want to be a gangster, but as an illegal immigrant to the city, his choices are severely limited. When Toshiko steals a dragon pearl from the leader of the Crows, she begins a daring adventure that will put them all on a thrilling path to determine the future of Rainshadow City. Tightly set across two days and peopled with unforgettable characters, The Rainshadow Orphans draws on the charm of anime like Pokemon and the works of Studio Ghibli, as well as on the gripping, fast-paced fantasy plots of series like The Legend of Korra, to explore what it means to stand up to corruption and take charge of destiny.
