Honmon has two meanings:
All kinds of Honmon exist, in a variety of shapes and sizes! They assume the form of animals, plants, inanimate objects, and monsters, limited only by the imagination of their creators. Anyone can capture weak clichés and common knowledge from books, but only through shared experience and life application can Honmoners raise Honmon into strong, original partners to call their own.
Honmonia encompasses a magic school with 13 campuses surrounding a central hub. Students from across the world converge to study the art of capturing, summoning, and raising Honmon to live alongside them. The school first matches students to their home campus, then enrolls them in courses to cultivate their creativity and storytelling skills. Venturing from library to library together with Honmon borne from their books, students grow from novice creators to fully-fludged Honmoners during their 8 years on campus!
In short—everybody! 👨👩👧👦
But it mainly targets the middle grade child — or child in all of us — that wants to learn how to create. Aspiring writers, budding filmmakers, game designers, artists, anyone eager to put their creations into the world!
