PoPoLoCrois is a manga series by Tamori Yousuke, originally published in the Asahi Student Newspaper (a subsidiary of the Asahi Shimbun newspaper). It was later adapted into two anime series and five console role-playing games. Its title is a combination of words from two languages: the Italian word "Popolo (people)" and the French "croix (crossing)", which together mean "crossing of people". The general theme of the series is love and compassion, that the race to which one belongs isn't important and the importance of friendship.
The PSP release is a reproduction of "Popolocrois" (included into Book 1) and "PopoloCrois II"(Included into Book 3), but Book 2 is a brand-new scenario.
Popolocrois II is actually the third game in a series of popular Japan playStation RPG called ''Popolocrois Monogatari'' (The Story of Popolocrois).
Two years ago the prince of PoPoLoCrois, Pietoro, and his mother, Sanria, fought a great battle with the Ice Demon and his minions. Aided by his friends Narcia, the forest witch, the brave White Knight and the Gami Gami Devil Pietoro destroyed the evil Ice Demon and saved the land from and endless winter of despair. This also marked the first time Pietoro met his mother as her soul was previously trapped in the world of darkness and was only freed by the valiant efforts of Pietoro and his friends.
And thus a time of peace and plenty came to the land of PoPoLoCrois. Pietoro has just turned twelve and his time to become a man is close at hand. Popolocrois II starts out with a very stereotypical-sounding quest to retrieve the ''crown of wisdom'' from a nearby cave but after that the game plot gets a lot more complicated and interesting.
CHARACTERS:
* Pietoro is very caring and values friendship, and he gets more courageous as the game progresses. Pietoro has crush on Narcia ever since they had their first adventure together. Pietoro finds out that he is part dragon because his mother, Queen Sania is a dragon.
* Narcia is an Apprentice forest witch who helps Pietro in the game. Narcia wears a pink dress with a two pointed hat for a specific purpose; when she is 15 years old, she begins to wear a semi purple and pink dress.
* Kai is Narcia's shapeshifting alter ego. Guilda gave her the treasure of the forest witches: the Golden Key which allowed her to become a human so she wouldn't turn into bubbles if she came in contact with seawater; but if anyone discovered this secret, she would fall into a coma. At first she tricks Pietro and the White Knight into thinking that she's a friend of Narcia's, but she reveals her secret to Pietro by accident and later Kimendoji.
* White Knight is first met by Pietro and Narcia at the same time Naguro is met. He joins the party and stays until the very end of book one, Ice Demon. He then rejoins the party when Pietro, Don and Gon go the mine in Pasela to find a dragon in there but then leaves after a baby dragon imprints on him and he stays behind in the land of Dragons to get the baby used to living there.
* GamiGami Devil is a slightly unbalanced dwarf who, though unable to read or write above the level of a child, is a technical genius who creates robots and vast cities.
