 è un opera manga del giovane mangaka hiro mashima che è stata tradotta poi in anime dallo studio deen in 51 episodi anime, tuttora (luglio 2006) inedito in italia.

purtroppo l’anime copre solo i primi 8\10 volumi del manga quindi lascia la storia alquanto incompleta, quindi vi raccontero la storia del manga sperando di non omettere niente di importante.

la storia comincia a garage island un isoletta sperduta, lontana dalle rotte commerciali, popolata di gente allegra e pacifica, il protagonista è haru glory un ragazzino di 15 anni molto forte e con uno spiccato senso della giustizia, è molto legato con sua sorella maggiore, che è l’unico mebro della sua famiglia che si prenda cura di lui visto che la madre (sakura) è morta e il padre è scomparso (andato via dall’isola) quando lui era un neonato.

haru pesca accidentalmente uno strano essere che non sembra per niente un pesce, sbalordito lo porta alla sorella e gli chiede se lei sa di che tipo di pesce si tratti, katleya dice che si tratta diun cucciolo di cane, effettivamente, la creatura (di nome plue) sembra un piccolo cane ma ha la testa tonda senza orecchie e un corno appuntito al posto del naso.

haru porta il cane dal suo vecchio amico gemma che gestisce un bar, li incontra un vecchietto decrepito, e pignucoloso, i due fanno amicizia e iniziano a conversare, il vecchio di nome shiva afferma di conoscere il cane di haru che si chiama plue, e che gli serve perchè deve compiereinsieme a lui un importante missione, i due vengono attaccati da uno scagnozzo di demon card, che è una confraternita di malvagi che usa le darkbring (pietre nere malvage con poteri megici), per potenziare i suoi uomini.

vai alle immagini (160 file) di rave

il vecchietto afferma di poter sconfiggere con facilità l’avversario ma al primo colpo viene atterrato, allora da a haru una pietra a forma di piccola spada e gli dice di correre via e di proteggerla, ma haru non ci sta a lasciare un amico in difficolta e attacca l’avversario con i pugni, causando diverse esplosioni, il nemico si da alla fuga e il vecchio capisce che il potere di rave era passato ad haru.

shiva svela ad haru ogni cosa, 50 anni prima nel mondo si era combattuta una terribile guerra contro darkbring una guerra che aveva causato milioni di morti e sofferenze per tutti i popoli coinvolti, per contrastare darkbring la divina resha valentine aveva creato le 5 rave, quella a forma di spada del vecchio più altre 4 che si erano disperse per il mondo, la guerra fini con l’overdrive una gigantesca esplosione che distrusse un decimo del mondo allora conosciuto, da allora il vecchio vaga per il mondo per riunire le 5 rave e sconfiggere definitivanmente darkbring.

haru è incredulo e non vuole lasciare l’isola e sua sorella, ma quando darkbring attacca la sua pacifica isola capisce che è tempo che parta e compia la sua missione, prima di partire promette alla sua sorella che ritornera da lei, quando tutto fosse finito.

inizia per haru un viaggio lungo e pericoloso, nel quale conoscerà nuovi amici (musica, elie, let, julia, lanzeby, e tanti altri) e innumerevoli nemici (king e suo figlio, doryu, onigami ecc), con il tempo haru accrescerà il suo potere e la sua forza interiore aiutato anche dai suoi amici, scoprira anche l’amore, visto che inizerà a provare sentimenti (ricambiato) per la bella elie, e verra provato da esperienze terribili, (come la morte del padre)

la storia meriterebbe ulteriori approfondimenti e mi riprometto di apportare modifiche e aggiunte QUANDO AVRO PIU TEMPO DA DEDICARGLI, l’opera si sviluppa in 38 volumi, ed è molto ben disegnata, divertente, e coinvolgente, merita sicuramente un posto nella vostra libreria, er un edizione italiana dell’anime.

Plot
 
Characters of Rave Master (from left): Tanchimo, Plue, Elie, Griff, and HaruSpoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
It all begins in the year 0015 when a force known as the Dark Bring (Shadow Stone in the English anime) threatened the world. Shiba, the first Rave Master attempted to destroy it with his sword, the Ten Commandments. The resulting explosion, known as "Overdrive", destroyed one-tenth of the world. The "Holy Bring" or "Rave" that was used to power The Ten Commandments was shattered in Overdrive, dividing Rave into five pieces. Shiba was able to hold onto one piece, but the remaining pieces were scattered across the world. However, Shiba was unable to destroy the Shadow Stone, and only succeeded in damaging it.

Fifty years later, Haru Glory, a teenager living on the peaceful Garage Island discovers a strange creature with a small white body, dot-like eyes, and a huge drill-like nose while fishing. He names it "Shabutaro" at first until he encounters Shiba, who corrects Haru by calling the creature "Plue". Shiba explains that Plue is actually his companion and also a Rave Warrior.

Soon, Feber, a member of Demon Card (Shadow Guard in the English anime;an organization that is attempting use the dark bring to take over the world) finds Shiba and demands that he hand over the Rave. Shiba refuses and tries to retaliate by using the Rave's power. It fails and Shiba is quickly injured by Feber's giant arm cannon. Shiba hands Haru the Rave and tells him to run away. Haru refuses and tries to help Shiba. With Rave clutched in his fist, he punches Feber. To everyone's surprise, Haru manages to unleash the Rave's power with this punch, defeating Feber with an explosion. Seeing this, Shiba realizes that that Haru has been chosen by the Rave to become the second generation Rave Master. Thus begins Haru's search for the other pieces of Rave and his quest to defeat the Demon Card.

Haru Glory: The current Rave Master. He lived with his sister, Cattleya Glory on Garage Island. Haru is a teenage boy who believes in justice and peace, yet does not have much interest in adventuring. His destiny takes a turn when Shiba gives him the Rave stone, passing on the powers of the Rave Master. When he realizes the true threat that Demon Card are to the world, he sets off to find the pieces of Rave to restore peace to the world.
Elie: A girl with no memories, she first met Haru at the dog races where she was betting on Plue. She ends up joining them after Haru saves her. She fights with Tonfa-style guns that have an explosive effect. She has a striking resemblence Resha Valentine, the prodigy who gave her life using the power of Etherion in her to create the Rave and the Ravestones. (Rave's name is a derivative of her name; Resha Valentine.) Elie originally possessed Etherion, but since she couldn't control it, it was sealed by Haru to prevent it from destroying the world.
Hamrio Musica (Hedara Musica in the English dub): The leader of a band of infamous thieves known as the Silver-Rhythm gang. He ownes and pilots a flying ship called the Advent. Musica is a "Silverclaimer", able to manipulate anything silver into any form he wants it to be. The skull necklace he wears, called Silver, gives him this ability. He can reform Silver into almost any kind of weapon or tool he needs. He became Haru's good and strongest friend, helping him in his search for the Rave Stones, while searching for the Silver Ray.
Plue: The strange creature that Haru discovered, Plue is the Rave Bearer, and is able to sense the presence of the other Rave Stones. Plue's nose also has the ability to destroy dark brings. Plue is quite fond of sweets - especially lollipops. Plue hates pudding. He has the ability to utilize the rave of conflict which powers him and Haru up.
Griffon Kato: Called Griff by his friends, constantly praises Plue. The reason was that before he met Haru, Plue ended up on Griff's island home, when it was under attack by the Puddingheads (which is why Plue has a strange dislike of pudding). Plue defeated the villains in what seemed a noble sacrifice. Griff declared himself as Plue's follower as a result. He is also very perverted (he likes to see Elie naked the most).

Ten Commandments
In Rave Master, The Ten Commandments Sword (the Decaforce Sword in the English anime), is a huge sword originally owned by Shiba, the first generation Rave Master. It was given to Haru Glory when he was chosen by the Rave to become the Second Generation Rave Master. The Ten Commandments was made with a special slot to hold the Rave Stone, also known as the "Holy Bring". The Ten Commandments was created by blacksmith Galein Musica, and was once strengthened and fixed by him after a battle broke Haru's sword. The Ten Commandments is said to have ten forms, including its original state, when attached with the Rave.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Eisenmeteor "The Metal Sword": An ordinary iron sword and the normal form it is usually found in. It has the ability to diffuse magic and is useful in fights due to its weight and size. (This ability proved instrumental in battling Sieg Hart). It is the Ten Commandment's default form.
Explosion "The Explosive Sword": A sword with no proper cutting edge but creates a powerful explosion on contact with the enemy. Haru's first sword gained from Rave and his most commonly used. However, the shock of the impact is so powerful, that if Haru used it in succession too much, it could possibly hurt or kill him.
Silfarion "The Sonic Sword": This sword causes the Rave Master to become extremely light, granting great speed and the ability to create blades of air for long ranged attacks. Silfarion can also be used with Explosion to create a special attack called "Bombing Dive" ("Twelve Wings of the Explosive Dragon") which fires explosive blades at the enemy. However, the Silfarion is relatively weak as a mêlée weapon and is no more than a normal sword for attacking.
Runesave "The Sealing Sword": This form cannot cut anything physical but can cut and seal things without a tangible form like lightning, fire and smoke. It is used by Haru to seal Elie's Etherion.
Blue Crimson "The Twin Dragon Sword": The Ten Commandments splits into two blades with one having the properties of fire and the other having the properties of ice. This sword form is also known as the "Twin Dragon Sword".
Mel Force "The Vacuum Sword": The sword of air, this form allows the user to fire powerful bursts of air at the enemy to blow them away and paralyzes them.
Gravity Core "The Gravity Blade": An incredibly destructive sword that can cut very hard things. However, the tradeoff is that it's extremely heavy and requires great strength to use. Although more powerful than Explosion, it's a very difficult blade to utilize.
Million Suns "The Solar Blade": Meaning "the force of a million suns", it is also known as the "solar blade". This sword is not strictly for use to defeat Dark affinities. However, this Light affinity sword has more than enough power to destroy Dark affinity enemies. This sword can be used against any other affinity as well.
Sacrifar "The Bloodlust Sword": The second most powerful of all the forms, the Sacrifar provides the user with great power but in exchange the user will be consumed by the sword and eventually lose themself. Haru used this sword during his first battle with Lucia, in the Project DR, leaving him with various undesirable side effects. It was later revealed that because the Ten Commandments was specifically made for Shiba to use, Haru is not able to properly control and use this sword.
Ravelt : The most powerful form of the Ten Commandments. As the Ten Commandments was specifically made for Shiba to use, Haru is not able to utilize the tenth form of the Ten Commandments, Star-Rave at all. When Musica discovers this, he takes it on himself to create one by using a piece of his Silver and the special metal used to make the other swords. Ravelt has the power to dispel evil, and is capable of being greater than Elie's Etherion. As a result of Musica's alteration to the Ten Commandments, Galein believes that the sword has become soul-less and should be destroyed.[citation needed] Haru is still able to use the other 9 forms of the Ten Commandments when Rave is attached to Ravelt.
Star-Rave: The original tenth form of the TCM used by Shiba. Shiba used this sword to defeat the final "shadow stone", Sinclaire in the previous war. This act resulted in "Overdrive" which destroyed one-tenth of the world. Haru is unable to "unlock" this form of the sword as it was specifically made for Shiba. This sword has never appeared in the manga, and was revealed in the author's notes.[citation needed]

Trivia
In the Song Continent where Haru and his companions begin their adventures, the towns and cities are named after styles of music. For example, Punk street and Ska.
Haru's belt buckle says "DnB" which could be a loose translation of "RnB", possibly referring to the breakbeat style known as "drum n bass" (there is a city by this name in the Song continent).
Haru's home, Garage Island is in reference to the quote "All good music starts in the garage".[1]
Different characters and places in the series reference music. Musica and Symphonia are such examples, with Symphonia referecing symphonies. Most musical references are confined to the Song Continent.
The largest city on Song Continent is called "Experiment". It was where Elie met Sieg Hart for the second time and it was "revealed" that she was an "experiment" for cloning Reesha Valentine.
Other continents include the Luka Continent, the location of the city of Rabbarier and Din Tower. Southernberg, whose shallow oceans confine the mermaid village of Mildesta, and the location of the Haru's battles with Doryu, and Musica and Reina's battle with Ogre. There is also the Iima continent.
Some of the technology seems highly advanced, but there seems to be no shortage of magic, medieval weapons, and various mythological references.
