Publisher and pioneering manga and anime media brand TOKYOPOP has announced that it has licensed the official ALIEN STAGE ART BOOK based on the hit sci-fi animated web series by South Korean creators.
ALIEN STAGE presents a dystopian future where human contestants are raised as pets by aliens and forced to compete against each other in a singing competition. The loser of each round of the competition is killed — usually onstage and in front of the winner — after their loss. The dramatic setup of the series introduces elements of tragic romance, as the main characters have all known each other since they were children and harbor secret feelings for one another.
The songs featured in ALIEN STAGE have received millions of streams on Spotify and the web series has garnered millions of views and avid followers on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/@VIVINOS/videos.

The original Korean edition of the art book was published by Dasan Books Co. Ltd., and it is the ultimate companion volume for any ardent fan of the series.
