@Large / Tokyo Tribes

@Large / Tokyo Tribes (Tokyopop, 2004–present) is a single-issue manga that launched Santa Inoue’s sprawling urban saga of warring street gangs in a near-future Tokyo. Known for its gritty, graffiti-inspired art and hyper-stylized action, the series reimagines the city as a patchwork of tribal territories locked in a violent struggle for power. While brief in its initial release, this issue established the raw, kinetic energy that would define Inoue’s long-running cult hit.
