Tekkon Kinkreet: Black and White is a compelling tale of street urchins, Black and White, who have skyscraper-sized chips on their shoulders, yet remain fiercely loyal to one another. Black is particularly quick to avenge any slight against his dim-witted pal, White. The citizens of Treasure Town are afraid of them, the police are afraid of them, and even the local yakuza gangsters are afraid of them!

But when the crime boss known as the "Rat" returns to Treasure Town, it looks like there's going to be a rumble... The violence in this unique European-influenced manga title is more mindful than it seems at first glance. The subtle relationships between its unique cast of characters are marked by surprising poignancy.
