The manga Duck Tail is a short story collection by Satoshi Yoshida, the creator known for long-running series like Shonan Bakusozoku and Arakure Knight. The volume is framed as an anthology of adult rock and roll stories, focusing on themes of nostalgia, freedom, and personal redemption through four standalone tales.

The central piece and title story, DUCK TAIL, follows two men on a high-speed, one-night journey. This road narrative explores the bond and restlessness of characters looking back at their youth while racing through the night.

In BLACK NIGHT HAWK, a supermarket employee who has been transferred to a new town encounters a legendary rider. This meeting pulls the ordinary salaryman away from his routine and into a single summer adventure that changes his perspective.

The third story, Tegami (Letter), focuses on a seemingly successful office worker who is haunted by recurring dreams of a mysterious boy. This psychological thriller element contrasts with the more action-oriented bike stories, examining the cracks beneath a polished surface.

The collection concludes with Papa wa, Nandemo Shitteiru (Daddy Knows Everything), which is noted as the first time this particular work has been collected in book form. This story features a husband who has lost his wife. He decides to fight to show his child what it means to have a father's strength and spirit.
