A Japanese light novel series written by Ryohgo Narita, with illustrations by Suzuhito Yasuda. The light novels have spawned both a monthly manga serialization and an anime series that premiered in January.
The series starts when Mikado Ryūgamine, a high school kid in Japan, moves to Ikebukuro to find a little more adventure in his life and to reunite with his childhood friend Kida Masaomi, who encouraged him to move. He seems rather naive and innocent at first, as Kida takes him around town and shows him the sights.
However, the story is not as simple as it begins. Several different interesting characters with their own agendas, motivations, and histories all inhabit Ikebukuro as well. Characters such as a high-strung bartender, a surprisingly cheerful shady informant, a weird black Russian sushi chef, a pair of eccentric young manga otaku, and several different "color" gangs including a mysterious one known only as the Dollars. On top of that, there are rumors about a headless horseman riding around the area, except this horseman rides a jet-black motorcycle that happens to sound like a horse whenever it passes by, and wears a yellow helmet to cover up its lack of a head.
At first, Mikado just wants to have a nice school life, even making friends with class representative Anri Sonohara, while Kida wants to protect him from the shady underbelly of the city. However, events conspire to drag everyone down into the shadier parts of this society. How do all these different characters intertwine in the story? Jump in and find out.
