ABOUT RISKY SAFETY:
Based on a manga story by Ray Omishi, the creator of Sorcerer Hunters, Risky Safety is a heartwarming story for viewers of all ages. Young Moe Katsuragi, depressed because she believes she has to break up with her boyfriend, is confronted by a small and spunky apprentice death spirit named Risky. Risky tries to pressure Moe into giving in to despair and giving up her soul until a glimpse of hope brightens Moe's attitude and causes Risky to transform into the apprentice angel Safety. In fact, the testy devil Risky and the compassionate angel Safety share the same body! This comical struggle between light and dark, and the tug-of-war over possession of Moe's soul forms the basis of a humorous and touching drama certain to appeal to established fans of Japanese animation and viewers new to the unique appeal of anime.
