Ikebukuro West Gate Park

    (Digital Manga, 2004-2005)
™ and © 2001 Sena Aritou & Ira Ishida

Adapted from a popular Japanese television program that was based on a prize-winning novel by Ira Ishida, Ikebukuro West Gate Park immerses earnest young girl-chaser Makoto in a violent underworld of gangs and teen prostitutes situated in Tokyo’s hip Ikebukuru neighborhood. Violence, sex and violent sex abound in this world of moody young men, helpless (and not-so-helpless) doe-eyed girls and free-spirited rogues.
