Hiroki Endo - The Crows the Girl and the Yakuza

Aoki is a member of the Japanese Mafia, the Yakuza. He is hiding from the police, from the Yakuza and from himself as well. Sheltered in a house where a Girl lives among the Crows, he seeks redemption and peace. But his past will hunt him down in his present, just to shatter everything apart. Aoki must now face himself, the Yakuza and the Police before his time is done. An really great story I highly recommend this for fans of more philosophical mangas.


A retrospective edit: This short story is a part of a book with a lot of other short stories that I posted, so there's no reason to reupload this individually.

  1. This story is truly amazing. It's so good that I decided to make a short movie based out of it, and it turned out to be really good (but not as good as the comic book of course)

    If you want to check out the trailer, it's right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rA6t7lUn-dw

    oh, and if SOMEONE knows how to contact Hiroki Endo, I REALLY need to talk to him. Thank you.

  2. The movie looks very interesting. :O

    I have no idea how to contact Hiroki but someone over at http://samehat.blogspot.com/ might be able to direct you to the right person. They seem to know the manga world very good.

    There's an art cinema in Rijeka that shows indie movies and other non-mainstream movies and I think they will be happy to show your movie for free. You can contact them here if you are interested: http://www.art-kino.org/2008/kontakt

    Thought you might like to know. :)

  4. I remember seeing this post so I decided to send you a link that will show you the entire movie.
    This is the channel, it's the only place you can watch it so far, and the video is the second one.
