Commentary As Books Tekkon Kinkreet: Black and White (Black and White #1-3)
2008 Eisner Comic Winner! Street urchins Black and White have skyscraper-sized chips on their shoulders, but are fiercely loyal to each other. Black is especially quick to avenge any slight against his dim-witted pal. The result? The citizens of Treasure Town are afraid of them, the police are afraid of them--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 gonna be a rumble... The violence in this unique European-influenced manga title is more mindful than it seems at first glance, and the subtle relationships between its unique cast of characters are marked by surprising poignancy.List Books Toward Tekkon Kinkreet: Black and White (Black and White #1-3)

"Boys will be boys."First off, and the most important part of this review, fuck VIZ for making this left-to-right. Legitimately hard to read when I'm so used to translated manga in its proper direction. It's as though VIZ just compiled their old "Black & White" releases into an omnibus rather than doing this book from scratch. Interestingly, the flow of the paneling isn't exactly ruined, but there are many parts that make it hard to tell whether the book was completely "flipped" or otherwiseTekkon is a great combination of interesting story and terrific characters. Taiyo Matsumoto immerses you in the world of Treasure Town, and the book is unexpectedly good at getting emotional responses out of you. I couldn't put this one down.
originally read it in Japanese a while ago, this is the sweetest, saddest, most beautiful coming-of-age brothers story ever.
Tekkonkinkreet has a unique charm that engulfs you whenever you read it. It is outright violent, yet there's a calm and visceral tick you will feel. Black and White and the whole of Treasure Town will really get into your heart in an odd way, and I really cannot explain it, but certainly gave me a smile by the time I finished reading the book. There may be some skirmishes (chapters) which I think are unnecessary, and annoying HYUUUUUs, plus really, really weird things which the author didn't

Matsumoto Taiyo's work enacts a beguiling poetic of violence. This manga, initially serialized in Shogakukan's Big Comic Spirits, has never before been printed in one volume and we are lucky to finally see it. Kuro and Shiro (Japanese for Black and White) veer from roof to roof and from surreal, bloody encounters to those strangely endearing; it's best though when these collide into something new and powerful. Frenetic and breath-taking, Tekkon Kinkreet is what proved to me that manga can be
All the wildness of youth and all the beautiful decay of the big city, in one 600 page package. Nobody draws like Matsumoto -- all canted angles, loose lines, and bodies in perpetual motion. He fills his pages with sad men with bad posture, and tough kids with their mouths and their eyes wide open to the world. The book starts out as two brothers against the universe, and ends as a touching story about achieving balance and remaining true to yourself while accepting changes in the world around
