The Growing up in the subcultures of urban Japan, a young woman journeys through the underworlds of organized crime, secret societies, government operatives, awkward friendships, and young romance.

This Scarab  (collects Kabuki Agents 1-8) picks up right where Metamorphosis left off and answers all the mysteries left dangling from that series.  AndScarab is still a self-contained story, so even new readers can start with it.
More than the original issues, this handsome 256 page collection includes a gallery of covers (including the Quesada variant), new pin-ups, sketches and character designs, afterword and story commentary by David Mack, an insightful introduction by Paul Pope, and a brand new cover painting by David Mack.
