The Faraway Paladin
最果てのパラディン
Raised by an unlikely trio of undead guardians, a young boy's journey to self-discovery sparks a quest for truth. With ancient secrets and mystical forces at play, his path unfolds with action, magic, and heart. If you love epic fantasy adventures, this is unmissable.
In the ruined city of the dead far from human civilization lives a single human child named Will. He is raised by three undead: Blood the heroic skeleton warrior, Mary the ladylike mummy priestess, and Gus the crotchety ghost wizard. The three of them teach the boy what they know and pour their love into him. One day, the boy begins to wonder, "Who am I?" Will uncovers the mysteries of the undead hidden in this faraway land. He learns of the love and mercy of good gods, as well as the paranoia and madness of evil gods. And once he learns it all, the boy embarks on the path to becoming a Paladin. (Source: Crunchyroll)
