Charu! Volume One

Story and Art by Sevita Lochan

ABOUT THE BOOK

A god with no memory, two bandits as babysitters, and a destiny nobody signed up for. What could go wrong?

Charu is a young god who envies his brothers who have all travelled to the infamous place called “earth”. So when his father forbids him and tells him he’s not ready yet, he doesn’t want to take no for an answer. With the help of his steward, he sneaks through a heavenly portal in order to see earth for himself. Except… he ends up as a baby with no memory of who he really is.

Enter Kamya and Chandan: two down-on-their-luck bandits who suddenly find themselves in charge of a magical child who’s destined to grow up and become king. Their reward? A wish come true—if they can pull it off.

But Charu doesn’t want to be king. He just wants to be himself. Now the trio is on a wild adventure full of mischief, mayhem, and one very stubborn god who might just change everything.
