Chu Feng B.E.E.

Chu Feng B.E.E. (雛蜂-B.E.E-) is a Chinese multimedia franchise encompassing a manhua (comic), animated series, and model kits. Created by Sun Heng, the story is set in a near-future world where bioengineering advancements have led to the creation of “Vanguards”—enhanced humans transformed into living weapons using nanomachines. However, this enhancement significantly shortens their lifespans.

The narrative centers on Sun Haoxuan, a 17-year-old high school student who is taken hostage during a terrorist attack. He is saved by Ruri Hinabachi, a Vanguard nearing the end of her life. After the incident, Ruri is transferred to Sun’s school to protect him, leading to a blend of action and school life as they navigate the challenges of their unusual relationship.

The manhua was first published in 2009 and has been serialized online. It has been adapted into a six-episode animated series, which aired in 2015 in both China and Japan, marking a significant milestone for Chinese animation. The series has also inspired model kits and other merchandise, contributing to its popularity among fans of mecha and sci-fi genres.
