Summary:
A prelude of sorts to X/1999, Tokyo Babylon follows Subaru and his bubbly sister Hokuto, mediums who protect Tokyo from restless spirits. They meet up with the mysterious Seishirou who, as it turns out, has a violent past...and a violent future. Two of these characters from Tokyo Babylon play an important role in X/1999.
