Arakawa Under the Bridge 3



Ichinomiya Kou has always lived according to the creed of his wealthy, successful family: never be in debt to anyone. But one day, after having his pants stolen and hung on the trusses of the Arakawa Bridge by a pack of rogue kids, his life is saved by a homeless girl named Nino. In In order to pay her back, Kou promises to be her boyfriend; and thus begins his new life under the bridge.

Best-selling mangaka Hikaru Nakamura (Saint Young Men) makes her English language debut with this surreal comedy starring a 620-year-old water sprite, a man with a star for a head, a nun, and a samurai who runs a barber shop under Tokyo's Arakawa Bridge.

Part 3 contains volumes 5 and 6 of the Japanese edition.

“Nino, I promise that I can accept everything about you!”

Rec calls out when he discovers Nino’s secret trove of cassette tapes. Rec and Nino are both clumsy when it comes to communication, which leads to situations both humorous and heartbreaking. Once in a while a sombre mood falls upon the river bank under the bridge... until the next absurd turn of events comes around.

Praise for Arakawa Under the Bridge 3

"The off-the-wall character designs and straightforward, simple-lined style also provide a visual juxtaposition of mundane and insane: the way you read it is normal, but everything going on is not." - Right Turn Only
