Tekkonkinkreet centers on two orphans named Black and White, living in Treasure Town, a slum-like town that is overrun by rampant crime. A Yakuza boss named Snake is aiming to demolish Treasure Town to build a theme park, but Black interferes with their operations.
The anime film debuted in 2006. Sony Pictures Home Entertainment released the film. Michael Arias directed the film at Studio 4°C.
Matsumoto serialized the manga in Shogakukan's Weekly Big Comic Spirits magazine from 1993 to 1994. Viz Media published the manga in North America.
The series inspired a stage play in Tokyo in November 2018.
