Acid Town

In the gritty, neon-lit underworld of a sprawling metropolis, Acid Town (2009–present, 幻冬舎 [Gentosha]) follows the intersecting lives of gangsters, drifters, and those caught in their orbit, exploring themes of survival, loyalty, and forbidden desire. This six-issue series is a taut, atmospheric crime drama, defined by its moody art and slow-burn tension, that has carved a niche for its unflinching portrayal of male intimacy within a violent, noir-tinged setting.
