Just so you know that I'm not ignoring you, I'll reply.
Okay, so the deal is that I really know next to nothing about these two series. I've never even HEARD of Pilgrim Jager. You sure it's manga? (I don't claim to be an expert, but I really much am familiar with atleast the titles of the manga published in the US.) I've only read a few pages of the Seika Trilogy, but the anime was suppose to be pretty clean. Let me go browse around for some reviews and see if I can unearth some info, k?
*returns from search* Nope, sorry, there's really not much of consequence that I've seen. I think your best bet is just to stake out a spot in your local book store and start reading.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill.
Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality,
