Black & White

By Matsumoto, Taiyo & Martin, Amy Epps & Kawasaki, Elisabeth & Roman, Annette & Jason Thompson & Lillian Olsen

Publishers Summary:
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 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.
