Plot
Ryūgamine Mikado is a young man who longs for the exciting life in the big city. At the invitation of his childhood friend Kida Masaomi, he transfers to a school in Ikebukuro. Masaomi warns him about people he doesn't want to cross in the city: a violent man dressed like a bartender, an information merchant, and a mysterious gang called "Dollars".
