About the series
In the neon-lit, hyper-stylized world of Tokyo Tribes, rival street gangs battle for control of a near-future Tokyo, a saga that began in 2004 under Tokyopop. This five-issue series brings together writer Alexis Kirsch and artist Santa Inoue, whose raw, kinetic artwork defines the series' gritty aesthetic. A cornerstone of Tokyopop's early 2000s manga-influenced lineup, it remains a vivid snapshot of the era's fusion of hip-hop culture and urban warfare.
