The Ikebukuro district in Tokyo is full of interesting people. A boy longing for the extraordinary. A hotheaded punk. An airheaded pseudo stalker. An information broker who works for kicks. An underground doctor who specialises in truly desperate patients. A high school student infatuated with a monster. And a headless rider on a pitch-black motorcycle. Their story may not be a heartwarming one, but as it turns out, even weirdos like these sometimes fall in love.

Durarara!!, Vol. 1 (Novel) by Ryohgo Narita provides a thrilling peek into this eclectic mix of characters, intertwined in the bustling, enigmatic landscape of Ikebukuro.
