So what is it that separates Haru from those other shonen heroes? It can't be his big-ass sword or endless determination. It can't be his "friends come first" mindset either. Actually, Haru is a very by the book shonen protagonist...But what's wrong with that!? Cliche but effective.
As the successor to Rave, Haru is pretty much catapulted into a quest to rid of the world of the evil equivalent, Dark Bring. As a shonen hero, he is thrown face first into several high action fights against several characters with interesting powers. With the power of his rave stones and a large sword known as the Ten Commandments, he is often victorious. Facing many strong foes and eventually the main villain, Lucia Rarengrove, Haru is every bit deserving of his title as Rave Master and hero.
Of course like all shonen heroes, there's also a fun side to him. He isn't above getting drunk and stripping down completely to "protect the honor" of the female protagonist, Elie. In addition to this, his face faults usually end up being pretty hillarious (when he isn't the one causing them for the other characters).
While Haru is just like any other shonen hero, he can hang the title high in the air and be proud of who he is. After all, saving the world isn't something just anyone can do.
