Tokyo Aliens Vol. 02, this thrilling sci-fi fantasy series welcomes you to Japan, a top ten destination for extraterrestrials looking for refuge, relaxation, a good time, or just to raise a little hell!
Join one unsuspecting Tokyoite as he discovers that intergalactic tourist relations can prove to be a lot more dangerous than they seem!
High school first-year Akira finds out he’s less ordinary than he thought when he’s thrown into the elite and mysterious AMO, a secret police organization in charge of managing relations between aliens and humans on Earth!
The inscrutable leader of the AMO, Amamiya, sees great potential in Akira. But the hapless high schooler is still seeing stars over the fact that aliens are real and walk among us! To test out Akira’s abilities, Amamiya assigns him to be a bodyguard for an alien girl. To do this he’ll have to join forces with his new partner Sho, who’s not only the ace of the AMO squad but also the hottest guy at school!

Title Notes:
HOT PROPERTY: Other North American manga publishers have been eyeing Tokyo Aliens, and English rights were sold with multiple offers on it. Not to mention, its overall positive fan reaction in Japan!
PRIMED FOR FANS: Like many of the bestselling series from Square Enix Japan’s GFantasy magazine—Black Butler, Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun, and The Case Study of Vanitas, to name a few—Tokyo Aliens features a hugely attractive cast of characters and dynamic plot created by the sure hand of a talented artist. This will not go amiss among the core manga fans.
RIDING THE BL WAVE: The Boys’ Love (BL) genre of manga has seen rapid growth in sales over the past few years, and the subtle yet unmissable BL tones in Tokyo Aliens (à la Black Butler) will hit home with the BL fanbase.
UFOS ARE BIG NEWS: Tokyo Aliens plays thoughtfully with the subject of aliens walking among us. With the US government making proposals concerning unexplained aerial phenomena, chatter about extraterrestrial life and craft no longer belongs in the realm of conspiracy theory. Tokyo Aliens takes the conversation and explores one possibility of this new reality.
