Blue Spring

by Taiyo Matsumoto

Blue Spring Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Taiyo Matsumoto's Blue Spring is a short story collection focusing on the lives of a small group of disenchanted high school students. Although spring usually connotes the blossoming of new life and a time of nurturing and anticipation, the spring for these characters is "blue." They can't wait for school to end and the summer to come. Their lives are balanced on the edge of a knife as they flirt with crime and their own deaths in the form of a deadly rooftop game. Each character has a different story to tell and the rebellion, questioning and frustration of these youths are palpable.

 

About the Author

Taiyo Matsumoto is the cult favorite artist of GoGo Monster and NO. 5, both published by VIZ Media. In 2008 Matsumoto received a coveted Eisner Award for his omnibus volume TekkonKinkreet: Black & While which was also made into a popular alternative anime film. With line work that mirrors his story lines in a combination of smooth and rough styles his work makes for a truly unique look and feel in manga.
