Status: Finished
Genres: Drama , Psychological

Stylistically intermingling themes of gentrification and rebirth within the setting of a classic yakuza crime drama, Children of Mu-Town follows the course charted by youths of an aging residential housing complex who are struggling for their lives: burdened by financial issues, peer pressure, and uncertain futures, ensnared in the clutches of organized crime, they are searching for a way to survive. When a municipal renovation project seems to offer a future of stability for their dilapidated town, the mysterious and far-reaching consequences that their actions set into motion may leave Juichi and his friends with no option but annihilation…..

A stunning modern “tenement masterpiece” work of manga, Mu-Town is a story of small-town gang intimidation, escalating immigration tensions, political intrigue, and the yearning desperation of youth.
