Tokyo Aliens 11

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!

It’s just another day in Tokyo...until aliens start dealing drugs. Akira and Sho stumble upon an illegal drug deal while on patrol, except the clients aren’t your usual street thugs—they’re aliens. At first it seems like just another shady transaction between extraterrestrials, but things take a deadly turn when the dealer recognizes them as members of the Special Forces Unit of the AMO and launches a brutal attack on Akira and Sho.

The man, a mysterious figure known only as Naruse, possesses overwhelming strength yet poses as a mild-mannered florist by day. But who—or what—is he really?
