Tokyo Tribes Volume 2 Graphic Novel

Introduction: Straight outta the pages of Japan's hip, skateboarder fashion magazine Boon, Tokyo Tribes sets itself apart from the din of manga publishing. Manga-ka Santa Inoue's hard-hitting tale of Tokyo street gangs battling it out in the concrete sprawl of Japan's capital raises the bar for manga story-telling, transcending genres, conventions and even hemispheres. Laced with hip-hop trappings and packed with gangland grit, Tokyo Tribes paints a vivid, somewhat surreal vision of urban youth.
Rival gangs from various Tokyo barrios battle over turf, leaving many a foot soldier bloodied in the violent clashes. But when the heat between two of the clans waxes personal, a bitter rivalry explodes into all-out warfare.

This Volume's Story: The battle hits the streets as Mera of the Bukuro Wu-Ronz tribe and Kai of the Musashinokuni Saru tribe engage in a no-holds-barred battle royale. As the city watches, old friends lock in mortal combat. With the melee erupting, heads are sure to roll!.
