Boy Heroes in Manga: Teito Klein

[gommyommy]

Few kids have a sadder past than (roughly 14 year old) Teito Klein from 07-Ghost. [spoilers ahoy] His Dad was killed, he was sent into slavery and then the army. His worst enemy killed his best friend. He’s ill prepared to take on the task he was born to do in the world. Teito has a ton of growing up to do, and he’s going to do it under the care of a buff, porn-loving Bishop who is slowly being overtaken by evil.

 

What’s to love about Teito?

- his strong love of others gives him strong supernatural power

- he is possibly his own worst enemy; cue pathos

- he’s really a Prince! Destined to be a King!

- has a fluffy pink sidekick!

 

I must say I absolutely love the “loving people makes you stronger” message of 07-Ghost. Teito is such a sweet little ass-kicker, I wish more people knew about him.
