Created by the mangaka behind Ciguatera, Furuyu Minoru, Boku to Issho tells the tale of two brothers, Suguo and Ikou, after they are turned out of their step-father’s house. The brothers pool their meager allowance and journey to Tokyo. There they meet Itou Shigeru (“Itokin”), a tattooed orphan from the wrong side of the tracks, and Shindo Kazuki, a young runaway from a well-to-do family. The four of them band together to survive on the mean streets of Tokyo.

The manga focuses on the hard-hitting realities of their life on the streets, as well as their eventual “adoption” into the home of a widowed barber and his teenaged daughter. Here are a few examples of the controversial and compelling topics discussed in the manga:
