Cowa!

Cowa! (こわ! Kowa!) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Akira Toriyama. It was serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump in 1997 and 1998, with the fourteen chapters collected into a single tankōbon volume by Shueisha. The story follows the child monsters Paifu, José, and Arpon and the human Maruyama as they travel to get medicine to save their town from a deadly flu. It was Toriyama's first major project following the conclusion of Dragon Ball. Viz Media released the single volume in North America on July 1, 2008.

Plot

Paifu and José decide to go to the house of a human rumored to be a murderer. Paifu notices what appears to be an orange spirit out in the sea and mistakes it for their friend. They arrive at the light source only to find that it was a torch on a raft belonging to the world-renowned sumo wrestler Maruyama, whom they feared. In spite of becoming acquainted, Maruyama teases Paifu and picks up two sticks producing a cross gesture to scare him off believing he, like some vampires in stories, fear a cross. On the contrary, this action forces Paifu to transform into a rampaging were-koala. His rage is halted by José, who shape-shifts into a round object to revert him back to normal. José tells Maruyama that Paifu can not look at a cross figure for more than three seconds before transforming. When asked by Maruyama about Paifu's father, Paifu replies that he was shot to death in a human city when he shape-shifted into a were-koala. After getting to know a little about Maruyama's past, it turns out that he is not as frightening as rumored to be.
