"Rain Boy" (original japanese name: "Amefuri Kuzou") is an OAV adaptation of the short manga story with the same name made by legendary "manga" artist, Osamu Tezuka (published back in September 1975 in the comic magazine Monthly Shounen Jump) General synopsis: Mota, a young boy who lives in a village within a mountain, is always bullied by the city boys of the main school he goes to (at the same time he's also in the branch school of the village where his father, a professor, teaches) due to him being a "mountain boy". One day, he meets (under the bridge) Rain Boy, a little umbrella ghostthat has the ability to bring the rain. The ghost himself repares on Mota's rain boots and begs him to have them, telling him he'll grant three wishes in exchange. From then on, a friendship is estabilished. However, things would take a long turn before we'd come to the suprising ending Certainly one of the most underrated animated works by Osamu Tezuka. The animation might have its continuity errors and the sound was very good but not excellent, but the best of it is the meaningful story about friendship and the theme of "promises", well centered in the two main characters: Mota and Rain Boy, which makes it enjoyable and worthwile All in all, a interesting and thoughtfull OAV anime by one of the most influential "manga" artists in the history of the japanese "manga" industry
