What lies below Tokyo's subway system is more frightening than you could have ever imagined... Deep beneath Tokyo there exists a boundary between this world and the next: the land of the dead-and the mysterious young man Seiya is its guide. In this collection of bone-chilling shorts, follow the twisted tales of death and hauntings that inhabit this horrifying underworld, where innocent youth fall victim to the ghosts who lurk in Tokyo's underground.

Two volumes of Dark Metro were published in English by Tokyopop on January 31, 2008, and August 5, 2008, respectively. The publisher later published a complete omnibus volume. The manga was also released in Brazilian Portuguese by NewPOP Editora from August 2008 to July 2009.
