Orphaned on the mean streets of Treasure Town, lost boys Black and White must mug, steal and fight to survive. Around them moves a world of corruption and loneliness, small-time crooks and neurotic police officers, and a band of sadistic yakuza who have plans for their once-fair city. Can they rise above their environment? Surreal manga influenced by European comics. TEKKONKINKREET is a play on Japanese words meaning a concrete structure with an iron frame, and it suggests the opposing images of concrete cities against the strength of imagination.

Taiyo Matsumoto was born in Toyko, Japan in 1967. He made his manga debut in 1986 in the magazine COMIC AFTERNOON, with the short story, STRAIGHT. Heavily influenced by French comics he travelled to France to study there. His art style subsequently changed dramatically to the unique, alternative look seen in TEKKONKINKREET, in 2006 it was turned into an animated feature film. His has also created the boxing serial, Zero, the domestic drama, Hanao, the sports manga, Ping Pong, and the Moebius inspired, No. 5.
