1) Shounen wa Asu o Korosu: The main story revolves around two high school boys struggling at rock-bottom, although they don't even realize it. They are exact opposites in more than looks: Sakuraba is an honor student with an icy exterior, and Fujieda is a hot-headed trouble-maker. They love to hate, as the saying goes, but as we follow the story through Fujieda's mind we see what may be roiling just beneath the surface. They become tied together when their siblings marry, and side by side they protect each other from gangs and the future. There are two extra stories in the second volume: 2) Kan no Naka no Watashi no Kedamono is a psychological story taking place inside the tight security of a yakuza base. 3) Indigo Blue: Koga and Shiba don't quite fit into the ordered Japanese system, and so they leave the country. We pick them up again 4 years later in Mexico City. One final dirty job, and they'll have enough to retire to that Caribbean island with the sky of indigo blue... (Source: Translated Treasures)

From Ponent Mon: Seventeen authors (nine from France or French-speaking countries, eight from Japan) brought together in the same book, a succession of freely created short stories about the same universe: Japan. The French, of course, journeyed to Japan for the occasion. Each cartoonist was sent for two weeks to a different city in the archipelago (Joann Sfar in Tôkyô, Emmanuel Guibert in Kyôto, Nicolas de Crécy in Nagoya, etc.) to bring back an original creation. The Japanese tell us about their district, the city where they live or where they originally come from (Kazuichi Hanawa's story being about the northern island of Hokkaido, Jiro Taniguchi's about the town of Tottori, etc.) The result is often inspired, always surprising: Japan through new eyes. "Japan" will appear simultaneously in French, Japanese, Spanish, Italian and English. Along with "A Patch Of Dreams" by Hideji Oda, it is the first step in a series of international creations with left-to-right reading direction, created for us by some of the best European and Japanese comic book artists.
