Mikado Ryuugamine has always craved the buzz of urban life, and a summons from an old friend persuades him to relocate to Tokyo. On his very first day, he spots the Black Rider, and it feels as though his dream has already come true. Yet as uncanny incidents unfold, everyday people—including Mikado and Ikebukuro"s most eccentric characters—find themselves entangled in the chaos erupting across their city in the bustling streets.
