Ryuugamine Mikado is a boy who longs for the exciting life of the big city. At the invitation of his childhood friend Masaomi, he transfers to a school in Ikebukuro. Masaomi has warned him about people he doesn't want to cross in the city: a champion fighter, an informant, and a mysterious gang called "Darazu." Nervous from Masaomi's stories, Mikado witnesses an urban legend on his first day in the city, the Headless Rider astride a black motorcycle. From then on, the existence of supernatural cases and a gang called the Yellow Turbans will rise to the surface, and Ikebukuro will pushed to the breaking point.
Although I may be a bit late to start the series, I am liking this series. I find that it has a feel that's similar to BACCANO!, which I really liked. Even though I don't understand the story too well, I'm sure it's interesting because I'm only on the 2nd episode. The characters, funny enough, seem like characters of BACCANO! and DARKER than BLACK, and I say this lightly. Anyway, I found this series to be very cool and I hope others enjoy it. I know I will.
