Reception

Writing for PopCultureShock, Katherine Dacey stated: "In less capable hands, this material would be horribly dull or laughably familiar, yet Tokyo Calen and Yoshiken manage to produce a surprisingly tight, entertaining package with briskly paced stories and clean, unfussy layouts that strike a good balance between atmosphere and ick."[4] IGN's A. E. Sparrow described the art as "very similar" to Takeshi Obata's Death Note and enjoyed the entertaining short stories, listing it as an Editors' Choice.[5] Nadia Oxford of Mania Entertainment commented that "Dark Metro dives pretty heavily into the B-movie stuff" with "not much substance to be had", and compared it to Hell Girl.[6]
