CyberWolf — Series Story Description

In a world where advanced technology and hidden powers collide, a young man named Tori Mack wakes up in a laboratory with no memories… and a body that is no longer fully human.

Half of him has been transformed into a powerful cybernetic weapon. His right side is no longer flesh, but steel, circuits, and claws. Stronger. Faster. Deadlier.

Rescued and watched over by a mysterious older man named Ein Tucker, Tori learns that he survived a disaster no human should have lived through. But the truth is far darker than he realizes.

As Tori struggles to understand what he has become, strange dreams of wolves begin to haunt him. At the same time, dangerous forces move in the shadows—people who know exactly what he is… and want him back.

Ein, once a legendary assassin with powerful spell-casting abilities, now walks a different path after learning his entire life was built on manipulation and lies. He becomes Tori’s mentor, training him not only to fight, but to survive in a world that sees him as a weapon, not a person.

Together, they are pulled into a hidden war involving experiments, corrupted organizations, and creatures that blur the line between machine and monster.

Tori must discover:
Who turned him into CyberWolf…
Why he was chosen…
And whether he is still human — or something far more dangerous.

CyberWolf is a dark sci-fi action manga about identity, revenge, power, and what it truly means to keep your humanity in a world that wants to turn you into a weapon.

CyberWolf
Chapter 1: Awakening (Rough Draft)
Tori Mack woke up because his body felt wrong.
The room was quiet, filled with the low hum of machines. White lights burned above him, and the air
smelled clean—too clean. His head throbbed as he tried to remember how he got there, but his mind
was blank.
He moved his right hand.
Metal shifted.
Tori froze and slowly lifted his arm. From shoulder to fingertips, it was solid steel—smooth, dark, and
unbreakable. His breathing picked up as he tried to move his right leg.
Metal again.
“What… is going on?” he whispered.
“You’re awake,” a calm voice said.
Tori turned his head. A man stood beside the bed, watching him closely. He looked older, his
expression patient, like someone who had been waiting for this moment.
“My name is Ein Tucker,” the man said.
Tori tried to sit up. His body responded easily, stronger than it should have been. He swung his legs off
the bed and stood. His metal foot hit the floor with a solid thud.
“I don’t remember anything,” Tori said, panic creeping into his voice. “What happened to me?”
“You were caught in a storm,” Ein said carefully. “You didn’t survive it the way a normal human would.”
“So what am I?” Tori asked.
“Still human,” Ein replied. “But also something more.”
“Rebuilt by who?” Tori asked.
“That’s a conversation for later,” Ein said. “What matters now is that you’re alive.”
Tori clenched his metal fist. It didn’t shake. It didn’t hurt.
“When I was unconscious,” Tori said quietly, “I dreamed of wolves watching me.”
Ein’s eyes sharpened for a brief moment.
“Focus on learning how to move,” Ein said. “The rest will come in time.”
Tori stood there half flesh, half metal feeling power beneath his skin.
His old life was over.And the beginning of CyberWolf had just begun

$In a world where a few can bend probability through raw will, a quiet drifter named Kai Kurozawa discovers his gift isn’t luck—it’s a loaded weapon. Each choice twists the odds, but the universe charges interest. SERIES BIBLE (Concise) Power System — Will / Odds / Backlash • Dwellers: Rare individuals who can impose Tacks (micro‐edits to probability) via focused Will. • Odds: A visualized “grain” of reality; Dwellers sense vectors of likely outcomes as shimmering filaments. • Tacks: Intentional nudges (“make that rope snap,” “let the bus be 8 seconds late”). Each Tack accrues Fate Friction—stress that rebounds later as Backlash (nosebleeds → fractures → catastrophic karmic events). • Edges: Personal rituals or anchors (coin flips, mantras) that stabilize Will and reduce friction. • Zeroshift (mythic tier, late series): A liminal state where Odds are a silent ocean and Will is a blade—do not reveal yet. World • Haven District: Port-city sprawl; rusted rooftops, market alleys, flooded underpass murals. • Glassline Metro: Arteries of the city; reflective tunnels where odds feel “loud.” • The Quiet: A rumored zone where Odds stop moving—foreshadowing endgame forces. Factions • Municipal Risk Office (MRO): Bureau that tracks statistical anomalies; polite on paper, predatory in practice. • The Erased: Black-bag unit rumored to “remove” unstable Dwellers. Recurring Antagonists • Rael, “The Eraser”: Uncanny calm; his talent dampens other Dwellers’ Tacks in close range. He is the city’s whispered full stop. • Anti-Kai (Kairo Tsukami): Never named on-page yet. Thematic opposite of Kai—fixes outcomes by stealing other people’s Will. Themes • Choice vs. inevitability, the cost of power, anonymity in crowds, the math of mercy. VISUAL STYLE GUIDE (for art consistency) • Line: Clean, high-contrast inks; thin outline on faces, heavy shadows on urban geometry. • Tone: Filmic noir with sharp whites for the “Odds” filaments. • Odds Visualization: Fine hairline threads and moiré patterns drifting off objects; when Kai focuses, threads bloom like dandelion seeds frozen mid-gust. • SFX: Minimalist lettering, small caps with long em dashes for sustained sounds (e.g., VRRR—). • Panel Rhythm: Quiet micro-panels for intention → explode into wide panels for consequence. CAST (Core + Non-Dwellers — at least 5) Kai Kurozawa (17) • A drifter with a coin ritual. Soft voice, sharp eyes. Edge: Coin Flip. • Quirk: Counts his breaths when deciding; breath 7 is commitment. • Flaw: Terrified of being the cause. Mei Arakawa (19) — Journalism student, street photographer. Non-Dweller. • Brave to a fault; sees patterns in people. Keeps instant camera on wrist. Jun “Switch” Tanaka (18) — Electronics stall kid; builds things from city trash. Non-Dweller. • Grease smudges, perpetual grin, a tool roll like a scroll. Aya Mori (20) — Med student volunteering at a night clinic. Non-Dweller. • Steady hands; refuses to look away from ugly truths. Inspector Haruto Ishii (34) — MRO field officer. Non-Dweller. • Polite, dry, exhausted; catalogues “anomaly sites.” Koji Nakamura (52) — Market grocer. Non-Dweller. • Kind man, jokes in proverbs. (Mark as at risk in early arcs.) Daichi (12) — Rooftop runner, orphan. Non-Dweller. • Knows every shortcut; sells maps he draws by hand. Rael (??) — “The Eraser.” Dweller. • Neutral face; shoes make no sound. The city gets quiet when he arrives. HIDDEN SEEDS in Chapter One • Page 3: A passerby with a ring—three triangular prongs. Later revealed as an Erased marker. • Page 17: Black van reflection in puddle (MRO plate pattern: 131-21). • Page 28: Blank spot in Kai’s Odds vision (Rael’s signature dampening at distance). • Final Page: A second coin in gutter, heads scratched with a thin inverted cross (Anti-Kai sigil—unexplained). CHAPTER ONE: PAGE-BY-PAGE SCRIPT & STORYBOARD Length: 36 pages (tankōbon pacing). Goal: Introduce Kai, demonstrate low-tier Tack, show cost, hook with a moral pivot.$

A young woman in her late twenties/early thirties has taken in her nephew after his dad dropped him on her doorstep. She must now balance the responsibilities of a growing career, navigate the dating scene, and care for a 6 year-old boy. People often mistake the child as hers and she receives mixed reactions (some believing she had children too young, or that she was frivolous since the child does not have a dad). She has difficulty navigating the dating scene as most guys are not interested in a woman who already has a young child. It is a romantic comedy that depicts a healthy and loving mother-son relationship between the young woman and her essentially adopted child. It shows people's ability to judge without knowing the details, the harsh reality of being a young mom, and the kindness of a man willing to love the young woman and her adopted son unconditionally.

A young man name Ousugi Sakae looks out over a crowd of fascists (generic Imperial Eagle imagery) High, distant wide shot: protagonist small; world/crowd huge. Power imbalance. Telephoto compression Backlit silhouettes / blown-out sky Long, hard shadows at ground level: predators’ viewpoint. “Manga page with a grounded, paramilitary neo-noir style: realistic anatomy, weighty tactical gear (steel plates, cloth straps, gas masks, red-lensed goggles), late-1950s/’60s industrial city backdrop—concrete, rebar, rusted rail lines—night rain and fog, low-key lighting, desaturated blues/grays, cinematic 35mm framing, hard shadows, subtle film grain, crisp fine linework, dense hatching, high-contrast screentones, reserved facial expressions, somber atmosphere. Original characters only.”

Ms. Aisyah walked slowly between the desks.
“One of Freud’s followers, Carl Jung, disagreed with him.”
“What did he change?” Mei Ling asked.
“Jung said the unconscious isn’t just personal,” she explained. “He believed in a collective unconscious.”
The class looked confused.
“It means,” she continued, “humans share universal memories and symbols — called archetypes.”
“Like heroes? Mothers? Villains?” Amir asked.
“Exactly!” she smiled. “Jung moved beyond just sexual instincts and focused on shared human experiences.”Ms. Aisyah erased the board and wrote in big letters:
INFERIORITY
“Alfred Adler believed people are driven by the need to overcome feelings of inferiority.”
“Not hidden desires?” Farah asked.
“No. He believed we strive for superiority — to improve ourselves.”
She continued, “He also created birth order theory.”
“Firstborns?” someone whispered.
“Yes. Firstborns may become overachievers. Middle children competitive. Youngest children may feel less responsible.”
“But is it proven?” Amir asked.
Ms. Aisyah smiled knowingly.
“Research shows birth order has very little effect on personality. But Adler’s idea about striving for improvement remains influential.”The class was now fully awake.
“Karen Horney strongly disagreed with Freud’s ideas about women,” Ms. Aisyah said firmly.
“She replaced ‘penis envy’ with something different.”
The class shifted awkwardly.
“She argued that what truly matters is basic anxiety.”
“What’s that?” Mei Ling asked.
“It’s the anxiety children feel when they are small in a big, powerful world.”
She showed a photo of a child sitting alone at a beach.
“Children cope with anxiety in different ways — by moving toward people, against people, or away from people.”
“So personality comes from insecurity?” Farah asked.
“Partly. Horney believed poor childhood security leads to unhealthy relationship patterns.”Finally, Ms. Aisyah wrote:
Life Span Development
“Erik Erikson agreed with Freud that childhood matters,” she said, “but he believed development continues throughout life.”
“Not just childhood?” Amir asked.
“No. Erikson created eight psychosocial stages — from infancy to old age.”
She drew a timeline across the board.
“Each stage involves a social conflict. Trust vs mistrust. Identity vs role confusion. And so on.”
“So it’s more social than sexual?” Mei Ling asked.
“Exactly.”Ms. Aisyah leaned against her desk.
“So what did the Neo-Freudians do?”
Silence.
Then Amir spoke carefully.
“They kept Freud’s idea of the unconscious… but focused more on social relationships?”
Ms. Aisyah beamed.
“Yes. They moved away from sexual instincts and emphasized culture, relationships, anxiety, personal growth, and lifelong development.”
The bell rang loudly.
As the students packed their bags, Farah whispered,
“Poor Freud. Everyone changed his theory.”
Ms. Aisyah laughed softly.
“That’s how psychology grows.”
She erased the board slowly, leaving only one word behind:
Evolution.

orn Between Realms — Volume I: The Man Who Should Not Exist is a character-driven shōnen fantasy set in a cultivation-based world where essence flows invisibly through all living things and power is determined not by brute strength but by control, compression, and intent within a rigid, political hierarchy of nations, bloodlines, mentors, and elite academies. At its center is Elias, a reincarnated anomaly whose consciousness survived death through an AI entity named Axiom, sacrificing portions of his emotional memory to preserve his core identity. Beginning at age eight and progressing toward his entrance into an elite academy at fourteen, Elias evolves from a heavy, emotionally suppressed child burdened by fragmented memories into a jovial, mischievous, strategically playful prodigy who values understanding over dominance. Lean, long-limbed, slightly above average in height, with soft black hair falling over deep gray eyes that sharpen with focus and warm when he smiles, Elias carries a quiet pressure in combat—an aura that commands without noise. Guided by loving, emotionally present parents—his grounded hunter father and perceptive, essence-sensitive mother—he resolves his grief not by reclaiming what was lost but by choosing what remains, while training under mentors both real and augmented through Axiom’s ethical-limited tactical support. As he approaches academy life—structured by dark silver-trimmed uniforms, floating platforms, courtyard duels, social factions, and talent politics—his journey blends high-stakes growth, slice-of-life tension, psychological identity themes, and a slow-burn three-member harem composed of a rational strategist, a fierce competitor, and a mysterious girl tied to deeper instability beneath the cultivation system. With clean, cinematic shōnen visual energy and subtle seinen undertones, the story explores identity after loss, power versus responsibility, control versus chaos, and the strength of family as the anchor that keeps a boy who should not exist from becoming something the world cannot contain.

[Manga Page 1 Prompt: The 3rd Rhythm - Flashback Intro]
Create a high-quality full-color manga page, Page 1. The page should be divided into 3 distinct panels with a clear narrative flow.

Overall Tone & Style: Gritty Seinen Manga, Urban Grunge aesthetic. Detailed line art, vibrant but slightly desaturated colors, sharp focus on character expressions and internal monologue.

Panel 1 (Top - Medium Shot):

Content: The protagonist (Ryo - 182cm, muscular build, stoic face) is sitting on his stock Honda Wave 110i motorcycle with a Line Man delivery bag, stopped at a city red light. He's wearing his black baggy oversized sweater, light blue baggy jeans, and a retro half-shell helmet (no visor), showing his messy hair and silver ear piercings.

Action/Expression: He looks straight ahead, calm and expressionless. The background shows blurred city traffic.

Dialogue/Text: None from the protagonist.

Panel 2 (Middle - Wide Shot, slightly above the protagonist's eye level):

Content: Shifts focus slightly to the sidewalk beside the protagonist's motorcycle. A small, innocent boy excitedly points at a passing military truck (or a prominent military poster), looking up at his mother with bright, hopeful eyes.

Dialogue/Text (Speech Bubble from boy): "Mom! I want to be a soldier when I grow up!"

Mood: Hopeful, innocent, a stark contrast to the protagonist's inner world.

Panel 3 (Bottom - Composite Panel, showing a split flashback):

Content: This panel depicts a dual flashback, a direct visual response to the boy's dream. The left side of the panel shows a dark, gritty flashback of the protagonist (younger, more intense) fiercely punching a heavy sandbag in a dimly lit boxing gym. Sweat is flying. The right side shows him wildly playing drums on a dimly lit, smoky stage, hair flailing, with extreme intensity, a drumstick possibly breaking.

Mood: Intense, raw, powerful, and slightly melancholic or regretful. The colors in this flashback should be darker, more muted, with strong contrast, emphasizing the lost passion or intensity compared to his current quiet life.

Dialogue/Text (Thought Bubble from protagonist): "A dream, huh..." (The text should appear slightly faded, emphasizing it's an internal thought).

Tavola 1: La Solitudine
Composizione: Inquadratura larga (long shot) dal basso verso l'alto.
Soggetto: Tomoya Okazaki cammina da solo lungo il sentiero in salita verso la scuola. I petali di ciliegio cadono ovunque.
Testo (Pensiero di Tomoya): "Odio questa città. È piena di ricordi che vorrei cancellare."
Elementi per l'AI: Stile manga seinen/shoujo, bianco e nero, retini (screentones) per le ombre dei ciliegi, focus sulla prospettiva della strada in salita.

Tavola 2: L'Incontro
Composizione: Primo piano (close-up) o piano medio.
Soggetto: Nagisa Furukawa è ferma a metà della salita, con lo sguardo rivolto verso l'alto, come se stesse parlando a se stessa. Tomoya si ferma poco lontano, osservandola.
Testo (Nagisa): "Anpan... Ti piace questo posto?"
Elementi per l'AI: Linee sottili, espressione malinconica ma dolce, petali in primo piano sfocati (effetto bokeh), divisa scolastica dettagliata.

aucune réussite, aucun progrès

juste l’envie et l’échec

Panel Type

Extra-wide cinematic panel (double-page spread feeling)

Camera

High-angle camera, positioned near the ceiling

Looking downward at a slight diagonal tilt

Emphasizes scale, complexity, and secrecy

Characters appear small compared to the environment

🧪 Environment – Underground Laboratory (Tokyo 2030)

A large underground laboratory hidden deep beneath the city, industrial and functional rather than clean or futuristic-glossy.

Central Area

A large workstation hub in the middle

Multiple computer terminals with stacked screens (2025-level tech, not holograms)

Screens show:

Code

Brain scan data

System diagnostics

Surveillance-style feeds

Thick cables snake across the floor, connecting systems

Left Side – Power & Network Systems

Inspired by your server rack reference:

Tall server towers lining the wall

Blinking indicator lights

Heavy power conduits running along walls and floor

Backup batteries, transformers, exposed cabling

Feels noisy and energy-dense, like the lab must stay powered at all costs

Right Side – Brain Scanner Room

Inspired by the brain scanner chamber:

A sealed scanning pod or chair inside a recessed alcove

Mechanical armature above it with a focused light

Thick padding, restraint-like elements (medical, not violent)

Glass or transparent barrier partially enclosing it

Clearly the most unsettling object in the room

Rear / Side Areas – Planning & Research

Inspired by the planning boards:

One or two mobile whiteboards

Covered with:

Maps

Red and blue marker lines

Handwritten notes

Sticky notes

Diagrams and timelines

Papers taped unevenly

Calm, focused posture

Suited Woman a step behind

Arms crossed or rigid stance

Body language skeptical and tense

Visibly evaluating the lab

Younger Woman slightly apart

Curious, relaxed

Looking around rather than at the others

They are small compared to the lab, reinforcing how big and serious this place is.

Role / Style Instruction (keep at top):
You are a professional black-and-white manga artist illustrating a finished manga page. Follow panel composition, camera direction, tone, and pacing exactly. Do not redesign characters or alter story content.

PAGE GOAL

Establish a calm fantasy village where magic is ordinary, subtly introduce social distance around the main character, and clearly define his relaxed, grounded personality. The page should feel warm and normal, with an underlying sense of quiet separation.

PAGE LAYOUT

One large horizontal establishing panel at the top

Two stacked panels beneath it

Clean gutters

Natural left-to-right reading flow

No extreme angles, no dramatic effects

PANEL 1 — ESTABLISHING THE WORLD

Wide village street in the morning. Warm light. Lived-in fantasy environment.

Show everyday magic, treated as routine:

A baker flicks a small controlled flame from his fingertip like striking a match

Water floats smoothly into jars, shaping itself gently

A woman calmly pulls glowing thread from thin air; it spins briefly before wrapping neatly onto a spool

No one reacts to the magic. This is normal life.

Dialogue placement (light, unobtrusive):
Villager 1: “Morning already? Wind’s lively today.”
Villager 2 (smiling): “Better than yesterday. Fire mage nearly burned the stall again.”

Magic should feel subtle and practical, not flashy.

PANEL 2 — THE WATCHING EYES

Kaisen Lorenin walks down the street with dual swords crossed on his back. He is centered, walking calmly.

Villagers are half-hidden:

Faces peeking from doorways and windows

Eyes visible before mouths

Whispering posture

Composition should isolate Kaisen within the crowd.

Dialogue (small, quiet speech bubbles):
Villager 3 (whispering): “That’s Lorenin’s boy.”
Villager 4: “He got time magic, right?”
Villager 3: “…Yeah. Something like that.”

PANEL 3 — KAISEN’S RESPONSE

Close-medium, three-quarter view of Kaisen.

Relaxed posture

Genuine, casual smile

Small wave

No visible magic

Clean background with fewer villagers

This panel belongs entirely to him.

Dialogue:
Kaisen: “Morning.”

CHARACTER NOTES (DO NOT ALTER)

Dual swords on his back at all times

No dramatic expressions yet

TONE & STYLE

Minimal effects

Subtle shading

Realistic proportions

Calm pacing

Magic integrated into daily life

IMPORTANT CONSTRAINTS

This page should feel peaceful, normal, and quietly distant.

Chapter 3: The Whisper in the Forest (Rewritten)
The academy grounds were quiet after the sparring match. Most students had gone home, still buzzing about the clash between Shawn, Jaden, and Isaiah. The three of them stayed behind, each unsettled by what had just happened.
None of them had expected the match to end the way it did — with strange flickers of power none of them could explain.
Shawn stood on the rooftop, his black cloak fluttering in the wind. A sleek, angular mask covered the lower half of his face, hiding his expression. Beneath it, his 1-Tomoe Hoshigan pulsed faintly, spinning slowly. He clenched his fist. Something inside me is waking up.
Down below, Jaden leaned against a training post. His hair was spiked and wild, and he wore a black shirt with one long sleeve and one short. His Byakugan was active, veins bulging at his temples. He flipped a kunai in his hand, but his usual smirk was gone. That thing I felt… it wasn’t mine. But it was watching.
Isaiah stood at the edge of the woods, his dreadlock-like hair swaying slightly. A thick fur collar wrapped around his neck, and his eyes were locked on the trees. He didn’t speak. He didn’t move. But he felt it — something in the forest was staring back.
A breeze rustled the leaves. Isaiah’s hand twitched toward his blade.
Nothing.
But the feeling didn’t leave.

That night, the three of them were summoned to the headmaster’s office. The room was dim, lit only by a single lantern. Scrolls lined the walls, and a large map of the village was pinned behind the desk.
The headmaster, an older shinobi with a long scar across his jaw, studied them in silence.
“You three,” he said finally, “are different.”
They didn’t respond.
“I don’t know what’s inside you. But I’ve seen enough to know this — something is coming. And when it does, you’ll either be our greatest hope… or our greatest threat.”
He turned to the window.
“Tomorrow, you’ll be sent on your first mission. A simple patrol. But stay sharp. The forest has been… restless.”
Outside, the wind howled.
And deep in the woods, something opened its eyes.

Some heal.
And some are shared.*

## **END O

A pleasant day in Swastik Residency, Thane. Children can be heard playing games in the Society
playground. Amidst the Jolly mood of the society, A rather timid boy sits in the verandah glancing over
his book, on the blissful interactions he sought after. Enter Archit, our main character. He was a bright
boy and a quick learner. However, appearance-wise, He was just any other boy, you'd find every 2 doors.
He would have loved to go play with others if not for his series of tests at his school soon. However, he
had some friends who’d come to visit him & study with him. One of them was Jash, also known as "J
wala Jash”. Archit hoped at least he would visit on this gloomy day, and so did he.
Jash came in and started bothering Archit. He pulled him and asked him to stop being a bookworm for
once. Archit was enraged, yet Jash had a point. It had been ages since he had a nice walk, so he agreed.
Jash told him he had something to show Archit. Curious, yet nonchalant, they walked the length of their
lodge all the way to the nearest elevator. But something was strange. Archit had never seen Jash so
excited about something. The elevator dinged and they teetered out the apartment into the large open
space. That’s when Archit realised Jash was dressed rather well for a normal day. A matte-brown
corduroy over a pleasant white Tee. His trousers hung low yet went well with his outfit he had a musk
essence coming off of him. While our man, well, he looked as if he had just woke up from a nightmare
and wet his pants. Yet they trotted their way all the way through the society gates to the main road.
Archit having not walked for a while, felt tired and uninterested in whatever Jash was so excited about.
Jash took Archit to the famous “Tapas Ke Golgappe”. It was a Pani puri shop famous for its “Dhaakan Pani
Puri”. Archit slightly annoyed asked the reason for visiting a Pani Puri shop, when he had so much work
to do. Jash informed that they were waiting for someone, just a few more minutes. Jash convinced Archit
to stay by buying him a ‘Golgappa’ plate while treating himself to Sev puri. While eating a golgappa,
Archit saw a charming girl come over. She was gorgeous and stunning. Her smile kept his mouth gape
open. Then all of a sudden, Jash took hold of her and introduced her to Archit as his girlfriend.
Bamboozled, Archita choked on his golgappa and coughed the life out of him. The girl pitied and grinned
at Archit's sorry state.
The girl introduced herself as Paulami, Her voice, honey to Archit's ears. At that moment, Archit
experienced something, he had never experienced before. his stomach. tickled and his face turned red.
Her voice echoed in his ears and his face couldn't stop smiling. Jash & Paulami held each other's hands
and started talking like lovebirds. The conversation could be interpreted as a script for a romantic movie.
The more they talked, the closer they got. Even the reader could predict what was gonna happen next.
Both the lovebirds leaned in for a kiss when it was interrupted by a loud, hoarse voice. from the owner
Tapas, “DON'T DO THIS TAATI POTTY IN FRONT OF MY SHOP, DHAAKAN". Scared the shit out of
them. The Trio ran all the way home never stopping once. Jash bid Archit farewell and led Paulami to his
house. Archit walked back home, thinking of this Newfound feeling. Was it Love? Or was it Hormones?
He could never know until they met again. The only thing he could focus on now was recovering from
Tapas’ Trauma.

Tassi Hangbé, la reine rossignol
Sœur jumelle du roi Akaba, Tassi Hangbé, un peu oubliée par l’histoire, est la 5ème reine de la dynastie royale d’Abomey. Littéralement le nom hangbé signifie “la voix de la chanson” en langue fon d’Abomey. Depuis son enfance, celle qui n’était encore qu’une princesse du royaume avait pour passion la musique et chantait remarquablement bien. Avec ses belles chansons, elle égayait chaque soir les réunions entre son père et ses frères. L’histoire révèle même que les soirs où elle était absente, le roi et ses frères envoyaient des serviteurs l’appeler car ne pouvant se passer des douces mélodies de la princesse à qui le sobriquet ” hangbé ” fut donné. Cette appellation deviendra plus tard son nom officiel dans tout le royaume.

La gouvernance de la reine Hangbé
En 1708, alors que le roi Akaba meurt des suites d’une courte maladie pendant la guerre, sa sœur Tassi Hangbé présente à ses côtés décide de de garder le secret de sa mort pour ne pas démoraliser les troupes. Déguisée en son frère, elle prend le commandement de l’armée et mène les combats jusqu’à la victoire finale à Lissèzoun, où elle vainc le royaume de Wémè.
À son retour à Abomey, le fils d’Akaba étant encore trop jeune pour régner, c’est Hangbé qui prend les rênes du royaume du Danxomè. Bien qu’aucune cérémonie officielle n’ait eu lieu, elle portait tous les symboles du pouvoir royal : les sandales sacrées (saloubata), le grand pagne décoré (avotita), la récade (mankpo). Reconnue et respectée comme souveraine, elle était toujours accompagnée du siège et du parasol royal.
Elle recevait de tous le respect dû à son rang mais les réalités phallocratiques du royaume n’ont pas tardé à la rattraper. Le règne d’une femme dérangeait dans un contexte fortement dominé par les hommes. Au palais comme dans le reste du royaume, certains hommes manifestaient ouvertement leur indignation à l’idée de laisser une femme sur le trône de Houégbadja. Subissant complots et tensions familiales, qui lui coûtent notamment l’annulation de son mariage et la perte de deux fils, Hangbè finit par céder le pouvoir à son frère Dossou, intronisé en 1711 sous le nom d’Agadja.
Malgré son règne très court, Tassi Hangbé reste une figure majeure de l’histoire du Danxomè. Proche de son peuple, attachée à la religion et aux arts, elle a surtout marqué son époque en mettant en valeur le rôle des femmes, notamment par la création du corps des Amazones, un héritage restructuré et renforcé par la suite plus tard par le roi Ghézo.

Le combat féministe de la mère des amazones
Selon Damien Mariano Agliti, guide à l’Office de tourisme de la région d’Abomey, « Tassi Hangbé a pris cette initiative pour donner une véritable place aux femmes au sein du royaume ». Son influence ne s’est pas arrêtée à ses quatre années de règne. Même après avoir quitté le trône, Nan Hangbé est restée une haute dignitaire respectée, intervenant activement dans les affaires du royaume — notamment lorsqu’elle s’opposa à son frère qui refusa de retourner le pouvoir au fils d’Akaba une fois celui-ci en âge de régner.Elle a aussi joué un rôle clé dans la reconnaissance des femmes dignitaires, appelées Tassi, facilement identifiables grâce à leurs pagnes souvent posés sur la tête. Aujourd’hui encore, à Abomey, une femme perpétue la tradition de la reine guerrière : elle occupe le trône de Tassi Hangbé, dirige les cultes annuels et veille sur les affaires de la collectivité Hangbé
