You can "download" the physical paper by buying used volumes on eBay, AbeBooks, or ThriftBooks. Prices are usually $5–$10 per volume. You can rip the pages (scan them) for your personal tablet—this is called a "personal backup" and is generally legal if you own the physical book.
If you just want to read the story, go buy the used paperbacks. The smell of old paper fits the 90s street aesthetic of the manga much better than a tablet screen anyway.
Right now, Harlem Beat is not available on Kindle, Kobo, or ComiXology. The best way to get a legal download is to message Kodansha USA or Tokyopop on social media asking for a reprint. Final Verdict Can you download Harlem Beat ? Yes, there are fan archives out there. Should you? Only if you own the original volumes.
