TEKKONKINKREET BLACK & WHITE 30TH ANNV ED HC

(W/A) Taiyo Matsumoto

This Tekkonkinkreet: Black & White 30th Anniversary Edition, by acclaimed manga artist Taiyo Matsumoto, is restored to its original right-to-left orientation and features all the original color pages, a full-color foldout poster, and a brand new afterword by the author.

In the somewhere-sprawl of Treasure Town, two young boys, Black and White, rule the streets. Like avatars of the city itself, they are its will and its voice, full of love and compassion, as well as danger and violence. As they leap from rooftop to rooftop, from lamppost to lamppost, nothing escapes their notice. But the city is changing beneath their feet as a yakuza-backed corporate development moves in. When the gangsters make a play to remove Black and White, the boys push back. The police have an interest in Black and White as well, trying to make sure things don’t get out of hand—but things will. A battle begins between corruption and innocence, a struggle for the soul of the city itself, that will change Black and White and the city around them forever.

Still a young man, he’s an adventurer who lives his life traveling from town to town in his plane entertaining folks-most of whom have never seen a car, let alone a plane.

His world changes when he meets Tillie, a young woman who shares his passion for aviation and adventure. They become a traveling act, delighting folks with their antics. Tillie even becomes Hawk’s wing-walker, climbing out on the wing of the plane mid-flight to perform death-defying acrobatics. When they learn they are suspected of a horrific crime, their journey becomes an even deadlier race against time. Along the way they bond, confessing their secrets, and begin a romance in this lush, character-driven series that explores the early days of aviation and the evolving relationship and romance between two young pilots.
