Hamelin no Violin Hiki

Violinist of Hameln (Japanese: ハーメルンのバイオリン弾き, Hepburn: Hamerun no Baiorin Hiki) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Michiaki Watanabe. It was serialized by Enix (later Square Enix) in its shōnen manga magazine Monthly Shōnen Gangan from March 1991 to January 2001, with its chapters collected in 37 tankōbon volumes. The story follows adventurers Hamel, Flute, Raiel, Trombone, and Sizer as they journey to the demon continent to prevent a catastrophe. Hamel wields a magical violin, using its music to compel monstrous foes to repent-by taking their own lives. An anime film adaptation produced by Nippon Animation was released in April 1996.
