Tekkon Kinkreet
The manga of Tekkon Kinkreet (released by Viz a decade ago as “Black and White”, though the actual title is a pun on steel concrete reinforcements and deep relationships) is a virtuoso work by Taiyo Matsumoto. A three volume opus on violence and the healing power of friendship between two very demented homeless children, it's a deeply surreal and disturbing portrait of both urban and human decay. It echoed the plight of the city at the center of urban renewal booms, the sort we saw in New York and Boston in the 90's.

In Shinichi Kimura's original light novel series, a lazy high school boy named Ayumu Aikawa gets killed during a spate of mysterious serial killings. However, Ayumu is resurrected as a zombie by a necromancer girl named "Yū" (Eucliwood Hellscythe), who Ayumu had just met before dying. Ayumu reawakens in a world surrounded by "masō shōjo" (magically equipped girls) and vampire ninja. Ayumu is assigned the duties of a masō shōjo by a magical warrior girl named Haruna.

Hisanobu Takahashi was once a promising high school basketball talent until an ill-fated accident left him unable to walk. While going through rehabilitation, Takahashi's self-absorbed attitude continues to soften, and he gets a surprising new roommate in the form of bad-boy pro wrestler "Scorpion" Shiratori. While Takahashi has been struggling just to find the will to live, Shiratori proudly insists that he will walk again in three months. Where does a guy like him get the will to do the impossible? Meanwhile, Takahashi's former teammate Nomiya faces an impossible goal of his own: getting into the Japanese pro basketball league despite having dropped out of high school and being out of the game for months. A chance encounter with a pro coach gives Nomiya the outlook and motivation he needs, but he still needs to get his skills back—which he hopes to do by scrimmaging with his old buddies who are now playing college hoops.

Life is about the journey, not the destination, they say—yet the sights along the way in the ninth volume of REAL aren't as thrilling they have been in the past. There is no big tearjerker moment, no heart-swelling triumph, not even a dramatic twist coming out of nowhere. In a series full of ups and downs, this part is more of a plateau, tilted slightly upward as the protagonists work toward their goals. And sometimes, that's just life—instead of something happening in one incredible flash, big changes often take place through small, incremental steps, a truth that Takehiko Inoue reveals here. In a world with so many boy heroes running around screaming, "I'm going to get stronger!", this inspirational tale shows what it really takes to get stronger.

Takahashi's quest to walk again is the more compelling of the two interlocking storylines in this volume, mostly owing to the great supporting cast around him. When alone and mired in his self-destructive thoughts, Takahashi is hardly a likable figure, yet when contrasted against the wrestler's show-stealing, gung-ho attitude—not to mention the obsessive-compulsive quirks of resident otaku Hanasaki—this odd merry-go-round of personalities makes all of them more entertaining to read about. Like the doctors say at the rehabilitation center, "Takahashi seems like a better person when he's around those guys"—a fact that not only applies to his recovery as a patient, but also to the story as a whole. It's characters interacting with each other that makes things work around here, not just a single character struggling with life's hardships. After all, most folks have had more than enough of Takahashi's sighing and moaning—but give him a few minutes with crazy Scorpion Shiratori and one starts to see his personality evolve in a new direction.

That evolution of character is also clear to see in school dropout Nomiya, who thankfully has finally found a goal in his life (albeit a highly unrealistic one). But what is it they say about shooting for the moon and landing among the stars? It may be a mawkish old aphorism, but Takehiko Inoue breathes new life into it here, sketching out a story arc where the dumb drifting underachiever suddenly starts improving himself, building people skills, and making smart life decisions because he's crazy enough to think he can become a pro baller. However, with the lack of entertaining personalities like in Takahashi's side of the story—as well as the lack of an all-out life-changing moment—it's the kind of story arc that must be appreciated for its gradual momentum forward, rather than any specific plot point. And again, that's probably likely the lesson Inoue is trying to teach.

Of course, aside from teaching self-help topics like setting goals and taking things one step at a time, Takehiko Inoue could also teach a master-level art class, with the nuanced character illustrations throughout this volume. Not that he's already gotten enough praise for everything he's drawn in the other eight—but again, he brings out shades of emotion that almost no other manga-ka can manage, simply because he has studied facial expressions and gestures to the level where a single shrug or twitch says all that needs to be said. Even an exaggerated, comical character like Shiratori is rendered with realistic depth to him, with his muscle mass and the way he does everything big. This focus on character does take away from some of the other artistic aspects, though: backgrounds are often sparse or nonexistent, and the layouts, although well-spaced and easy to read, sometimes jump between present-time, flashbacks and memories without warning. But it's a small price to pay to see some incredibly talented figure drawing.

Tekkon Kinkreet
Tekkon Kinkreet is a first in the anime world: It's the first time an American director has ever gone and directed an entire piece of animation in Japan, at the studio. While the anime industry is no stranger to creating animated works under American creative staff, no American has ever gone over and gotten a film produced, financed and made completely within the Japanese system.

Unfortunately, the person at the helm clearly has no clue what he is doing.

Black and White are two street urchins. They have no home, no parents… only each other. They steal, mug, beat people… It's not the yakuza that owns Treasure town, it's Black (the smart, bitter one) and White (the dumb, innocent one). But when a developer wants to turn the dark, ugly streets into an amusement park, he brings about challengers that even Black will have trouble against!

Muhyo & Roji's Bureau of Supernatural Investigation
Manga 6
So it looks like Muhyo and Roji has, for at least one more volume, dodged the bullet of being deemed "too mediocre to bother with." This installment manages to keep one's interest with a sudden turn of events halfway through, and it looks like there may be a whole new world of adventure in store for Roji. A couple of flashback chapters also help to add to the depth of the overall series, showing that the characters are worth caring about and that there's more to them than vanquishing troublesome ghosts every several chapters. The gruesome creature designs add some visual flair, although from most of the other pages it's clear that this will never win any awards for outstanding art. But then again, that's pretty much how Muhyo and Roji work: remaining barely above adequate most of the time, but occasionally throwing in something interesting enough to keep people from dropping the series. Best of luck to Roji on his exams.

Muhyo & Roji's Bureau of Supernatural Investigation
Manga 6
Not surprisingly, most conversations in this volume consist of typical shounen adventure dialogue, where characters yell at each other in battle, declare complex strategies aloud, and—in Roji's case—announce one's intentions to get stronger. For anyone vaguely familiar with the genre, this makes for very easy reading, and the only tricky language to be found is in discussions of spiritual/magical theory. Fortunately, the author's own footnotes help to explain matters of Ecto-this and Magic Law that. Also, the series' focus on fantasy and the supernatural makes it fairly light on references to Japanese culture; this probably makes it less jarring to see all the sound effects converted into English. In fact, with its simple dialogue and culture-neutral subject matter (apart from the occasional reference to Hades), this translation makes itself highly accessible to newcomers.

The artwork of Muhyo and Roji is another aspect that seems to constantly waver between just plain lousy and surprisingly decent: Yoshiyuki Nishi's style of character design will never be known for its stylishness, but the monsters that they fight are some of the most convincing in the business. And it's not just the bad guys, either: even the creatures that Muhyo and Goryo summon for heavy-duty exorcism, as well as the various methods of Magic Law punishment, show a strong flair for fanastical, supernatural designs. There are also continuing improvements in areas like backgrounds—the architecture and environments in Roji's flashback, as well the Magic Law academy in the present day, show a good level of detail—and the layouts are only confusing one or two times, as opposed to the early volumes where they could spend entire fights without ever once clearly showing what was going on. Some artistic rough spots remain (so, uh, when did Roji pick up that staff?) but the visuals are competent enough to enjoy the action.

Muhyo & Roji's Bureau of Supernatural Investigation
Manga 6
Thank goodness, then, that an unexpected idea strikes at the halfway point—one that sends Muhyo and Roji on separate paths. It also paves the way for a flashback on how the two met, which interestingly enough reminds us that there never was an origin story in the first volume—it just kind of dropped in on one of their missions. As far as character development goes, this flashback also explains just why Muhyo has stuck by his bumbling assistant for so long. More character development awaits in the present day, where Roji finally resolves to do something about his life and takes on the Magic Law Exams. On one hand, this could be the start of yet another cliché—the dreaded Training Arc—but on the other, it does provide a nice break from the usual ghost-hunting adventures and even introduces a couple of colorful new characters.

Muhyo & Roji's Bureau of Supernatural Investigation
Manga 6
The first few chapters are definitely tired old formula, though, with the usual "let's throw magical attacks around until someone wins" business, only with the attacks being thrown at ghosts instead of each other. Even the story behind the haunting—a sorrowful mother-and-daughter tale—had already been revealed in the previous volume, leaving little else except for Muhyo and Goryo to duke it out and finish the job. The competition aspect does lend some tension to the fight, as the rivals end up racing against time and against each other, and occasional sidekick Nana also gets a chance to star in this adventure. But those minor bright spots can't erase the fact that this is basically Muhyo and friends doing what they do best when the author runs out of ideas.

Muhyo & Roji's Bureau of Supernatural Investigation
GN 6
Muhyo and his assistant Roji are practitioners of Magic Law, dishing out justice when ghosts and spirits run amok. Their latest assignment—a haunted apartment building—brings them into direct competition with high-strung executor Goryo and his scheming minion Ebisu. But this is more than just a friendly competition of magical skill: whoever drives out the ghost will claim ownership of Muhyo's current office! After the deed is done, Muhyo has some harsh words for Roji, who finds himself thinking back on how they met and where his career is headed next. Roji decides that his next step is to take the Magic Law Exams and discover just what he's capable of, but when the examiner pulls Roji aside for some "re-testing," could it be that his skills don't meet the expected standard?
