Polished illustrations/key arts for Anito featuring the main parts of the story

In a world where ancient Filipino legends come to life, young Aaren's life is turned upside down when he tumbles into a mystical spirit realm teeming with both wondrous and fearsome creatures.

Lost and desperate to return home, he encounters an unlikely pair of cross-world smugglers—Monda, a mischievous ground elf (Nuno), and Daro, a wise, ancient tree giant (Kapre).

But as the trio embarks on their perilous journey, a dark, primordial magic begins to stir—threatening to merge the human and spirit realms and unleash the savage Aswangs to reclaim their lost dominion.

Striking a daring bargain, Aaren agrees to aid them in their quest to steal mysterious artifacts from the human world in exchange for their help in finding his way back. 

Now, the fate of both worlds rests in the hands of this unlikely band of heroes, who must confront sinister forces and unlock ancient secrets to restore the balance between worlds before it’s too late.
