About the Anime: (by Wikipedia)

The protagonist of the series is a twelve-year-old girl named Shiina Tamai. She bonds with a starfish-shaped "dragonchild" (baby "shadow dragon") whom she calls Hoshimaru. The series is mainly about the interaction between Shiina and other young people who have also bonded with dragons.

My Review: This opening led me to believe that this was a happy anime. In no way was this a happy anime.

It was so dark and sad and it broke my heart in two.

The ending was so unusual, yet wonderful at the same time that it just fit in with the rest of the anime.

Rating: 9/10

Main Characters:

Shiina Tamai: Finds one of the "dragons" and calls it Hoshimaru (Round Star)

Akira Sakura: Owns a dragon and guides Shiina through exactly what she's got herself into.
