After meks capture Mei's mother, her father sends her to balloon-lifted Sky Village. Across the world, Rom battles beast-mek hybrids to rescue his sister from a gambling overlord. A mysterious book connects Mei and Rom. This ambitious series starter has a hard time holding itself together, but anime fans will love the creative vision and the occasional dark, dramatic illustrations. Glos.
