Elemental Gelade

Cou, the clumsy new recruit of the pirate squad "Red Lynx," stumbles upon the find of a lifetime-a mighty warrior from the ancient Edel Raids race. At first glance, Ren appears to be a timid and vulnerable girl, but she harbors a power that countless people would kill to possess. When Cou decides to protect Ren on her journey to a mysterious destination known as Edel Garden, he quickly gains allies-and just as quickly, deadly foes.
