The Wings of Rean (リーンの翼) is a light novel series by Yoshiyuki Tomino[2] published from 1983 to 1986, and a six-episode ONA, released by Bandai Channel online from December 12, 2005, to August 18, 2006.[3] It is an alternate story to another series, Aura Battler Dunbine,[4] and is set in modern Japan and Byston Well in a timeline of its own. The characters were designed by Masashi Kudo.[5] The ONA has an original plot but can be seen as a sequel to the light novels due to the return of their protagonist Shinjirō Sakomizu.
Plot
Because his friends fired a rocket into the US Army camp, Suzuki was wanted by the US Army and the police. While he was running away the sea surface suddenly rose, and when a brilliant light appeared he saw a strange-looking battleship flying in the air. He was dumped into the sea and when he crawled onto the battleship there was a beautiful girl standing there. She said her name was Luxe, the princess of another world, and added "My father is Japanese, Shinjirou Sakomizu. Please help me, Suzuki".[6]
