About the series
A long-running French crime comedy from Soleil, Back Street Girls (2017–present) follows three yakuza underlings who, after failing their boss, are forced into a drastic punishment: gender reassignment surgery and a new career as a pop idol group. This premise, sustained over 11 issues, blends gangster violence with fish-out-of-water humor and the absurdities of the Japanese entertainment industry. The series is best known for its sharp, deadpan take on identity and loyalty, making it a cult favorite among readers who enjoy high-concept, darkly comedic manga-inspired stories.
