*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review and is suggested for mature readers.
Two orphans, Black and White, are street kids who are fiercely loyal to each other. Black is the smarter of the two and takes his protection of White very seriously. Both of them are doing whatever they can to survive in a clogged, corrupt city and they are so violent, even the yakuza and the police are hesitant to mess with them until one man decides they need to be dealt with and is hunting them down.
This is a surreal ride, watching these two kids to what they need to do just to get through each day. It feels vaguely dystopian but this could be any place riddled with crime and poverty. It’s strangely poignant when it comes to the relationship between Black and White. It’s strange but also engrossing. The art style takes a little getting used to but it fits this gritty, desperate world. There’s a touch of nudity and plenty of violence so keep that in mind when you check out this interesting graphic novel. 4.5 out of 5.
