Description

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.
