Tekkonkinkreet by Taiyō Matsumoto
Two orphaned street kids — the tough, pragmatic Black and the innocent, imaginative White — patrol and protect a sprawling, decaying port city as they fend off yakuza, gangs, corrupt developers and the encroaching forces of modernization. Their fierce bond and opposing outlooks drive a story that blends gritty noir and surreal fantasy, using sudden violence and quiet tenderness to explore themes of childhood, identity, urban decay and the price of growing up in a city that seems intent on swallowing them whole.
