Masaomi! It's really you?
Lately, there aren't as many color gangs.
but they picked a fight with gangs from the Saitama area, and a bunch got arrested.
I'm Anri Sonohara.
Nice to meet you all.
Mika!
Sorry! I mistook you!
You swore you'd become a true Ikebukurian, right?
Overcome these trials!
I've found you!

Please forgive me.
FALSE ADVERTISING
This is bad.
Really bad...
It's my fault, Celty.
I took a stupid job!
The job was supposed to be over quickly.
And just by chance, it appeared.
Inhuman!
Monster! Monster! Monster!
You heard words coming from the wound?
It called me a monster.
How rude!
I prefer the term enchantress.
What is it?
What if it's an alien?
Celty...
Am I supposed to laugh at that?
A-A monster!
Let's go!
It sometimes seems this town is made of jokes, whims, and coincidences.
Saika joined the room.

And this situation is probably one of God's whims or jokes, too.
Here I am, walking home with a top-class glasses-girl,
one of the top five of the thirty-seven girls
I fell in love with during the entrance ceremony...
And then that clod shows up.
Sucks.
It must've been hard back there.
Oh, yeah.
This isn't working...
Man, I didn't think you'd get to her before me.
That's not what happened!
No way!
Mikado!
But it worked out fine.
If I were in your position, I wouldn't have let that chance go.
The two of us would be speaking of love together in West Gate Park.
So yeah, go out with me!
Masaomi?
Um, I-
Oh, you don't need to answer right away.
I'm waiting for responses from seven girls,
and I'm still figuring out which I want to date.
Anri, don't take him seriously.
You'll just get tired.
And he may look like a playboy, but he's actually not.
Even when he goes to pick up girls, he-
Hey, Mikado!
This guy, Mikado Ryugamine, is my best friend.
He's from the country and has only been in Ikebukuro a few days.
He is very naive, but strangely stubborn somehow,
the kind of guy you can't just leave alone.
And this pure boy and I find ourselves in a surprising love triangle...
Is this what they call youth?
Ow...
You two are good friends, aren't you?
Yes, we are.
Not that I don't wish to be rid of him...
As for how this happened,
it goes back to the day of the entrance ceremony.
Seiji Yagiri.
Nice to meet you.
Then, Yagiri... Get to your seat.
No.
I don't think I'll be able to come to school for a while.
Actually, I may never come back.
This is an extremely important matter to me.
I don't have time to spend on you people.
Goodbye.
Hey, Yagiri, wait. Wait!
I was thinking it takes all types to make a world,
when Mikado told me about it.
Wait!
And that was the moment I fell in love!
Cute smile and great boobs.
Wait, she wasn't smiling.
I said I don know anything!
Wait!
Hello there.
Something wrong?
Anyway, she found herself at the very top
of my candidate-for-girlfriend list, and today...
Hey, Anri.
Heading home now?
Yeah.
Hey, Anri...
Is something bothering you?
Are you being bullied or caught up in some trouble?
No.
If something happens, tell me right away.
I'm fine.
I see.
Come to think of it, has Harima not come to school yet?
Even though you're finally in the same class...
It was tough, getting them into your class.
Mr. Saito, from your middle school, told me to take good care of you.
So don't worry.
I know. I'll take you home today.
You heard the Slasher struck again in Ikebukuro, right?
Mr. Nasujima, are you sexually harassing a student?
Wow, you're flirting with the poor little class rep?
If that's not sexual harassment, I don't know what is!
Horosho: Russian for good. Can be used to describe a good-looking man. Or maybe it's more like sexy horosho, am I right?
Horosho: Russian for good. Can be used to describe a good-looking man. Kida, don't be stupid!
Horosho: Russian for good. Can be used to describe a good-looking man. Anri, don't get the wrong idea and spread any rumors.
Does she look like the type who would?
Th-That's true.
Thanks!
I'll take care of spreading the rumors, so don't worry!
Totally heroic...
Aren't I awesome?
She's gotta be in love, right?
Masaomi? Anri?
Did you seriously just show up now?
Here you go.
All yours.
Thank you.
Seriously, though, be careful.
That Nasujima... Most of it's just rumors,
but he really did go after one student.
What?
Her name's Haruna Niekawa, a year ahead of us.
She transferred out during second semester last year,
and they say it almost got out that she was dating him.
Seriously?
Either she dropped out on her own, or Nasujima threatened her,
or the school made her transfer. I don't know.
But if something happens, Mikado and I will take care of it. Won't we?
Yeah.
I don't really understand what's going on, but I'll do whatever I can.
Come on. You need to be like,
I don't know what I can do, but the power of love will aid me,
or something like that. Otherwise you're not a man.
Youe not making sense.
It's how this works.
Anyway, about what happened earlier...
Those girls bullying you, they're from your middle school, right?
H-How could you tell?
Just from how they were talking.
Some strong girl saved you then,
but now that she's gone, the same girls are back.
What was it again? A friend of yours went missing?
So you haven't found her yet.
It's Mika Harima from our class, isn't it?
They're treating it like she's just absent from school,
but since before the start of school, she hasn't come home once.
Friends Forever Isn't this something for the cops?
Her family and I received a message from Mika.
She said she was going on a journey to ease her pain, so not to worry.
Ease her pain?
Something happened?
Well, um... Don't be surprised, okay?
After these past few days, not much would surprise me.
Mika is a stalker...
I see. So that guy you were talking to earlier...
Mika was stalking him... No, she was deeply in love with him,
and she left on a trip because he rejected her.
Gotta leave that to her family, then.
If it gets to be too long, they'll contact the cops.
Was she close to you?
Why are you asking her that?
We were always together, yes.
He's got good intuition, actually.
I'm not really the social type,
so I don't get along with people well,
but she always dragged me along.
I felt bad when she chose the same high school I did.
I-
You may be thinking that she just didn't want to lose...
someone who made her look better, but you shouldn't say it, Mikado dear.
I know.
What?
That she kept me around to make her look better.
And I used her, too.
It was easier to live, being dependant on her.
I thought I couldn't live any other way.
But now, I don't think I really need her anymore.
I'm used to it.
Her being gone, I mean.
The reason I became class rep is because that's the job she wanted...
I figured I should do it in her place.
I thought if I could be class rep, I might be able to surpass her.
You think I'm devious... don't you?
I think it's more so to say that to someone else.
It's like you're trying to earn forgiveness for it.
You're right to want to aim higher than her.
So, I think, maybe you should have more pride in yourself.
Uh... Um...
You're right.
Thank you.
I actually like this aspect of him.
Masaomi!
Man, you're so lame.
Why am I lame?
What? The toughest in Ikebukuro?
Yeah, the toughest.
Shuji Niekawa / Writer Yeah, the toughest.
Shuji Niekawa / Writer You with a magazine or something?
Shuji Niekawa / Writer Like, what do you mean, toughest? Hilarious.
Shuji Niekawa / Writer Wouldn't that be like, the guy on the black bike?
Yeah, I know that guy.
He's got no head, right?
No way!
Also, the Slasher.
Oh, that. Yeah.
But wouldn't the strongest be the Dollars now?
The Dollars?
Yeah, the Dollars!
Okay, then I'll be off.
Thank you. See you tomorrow.
See you, then!
Bye-bye, Anri-chan!
I was thinking, maybe that Seiji guy and Mika are together, after all.
A stalker and her victim?
Maybe she kidnapped him or something.
I see.
Searching for someone... What do I do?
Ignore it.
She said she was fine now.
Maybe you'd need some kind of organization...
Like the Dollars.
Mikado, don't tell me you want to join the Dollars... Do you?
No way!
Seriously, give it up.
Color gangs are the kind of thing you do in your youth,
and end up regretting later in life.
Yeah, but we're still young.
I was pretty down before Mikado came to Ikebukuro.
I am who I am now because, well, of a lot of people's help, including his.
He's just arrived in Ikebukuro, and the city's too much for him.
It's incredibly dangerous.
I could cool him off. But looking at him, with his eyes shining, I just can't.
Ikebukuro West Gate Park I could cool him off. But looking at him, with his eyes shining, I just can't.
So I'm trying to stay with him as much as I can.
But honestly, I'd like to keep him away from the darkness of this town.
And me, too...
Bang.
I promised myself I'd never go there again.

Maybe those kanji could be read Zaika.
Like commodity?
I'll look into it later.
Anyway, Celty, got a job for you.
From Mr. Shiki of the Awakusu again,
so it's not entirely on the level, but...
Another transporter job?
Yeah. Exactly.
But you have to get the thing back, too.
I didn't ask what it was.
Actually, it's better for both parties that I don't.
Understood.
Anyway, about the goods, the guy who's got them keeps moving.
But we've got a good idea of where he hides,
so you should be able to find him pretty quickly.
Roger.
The Slasher keeps showing up, so be careful.
Slasher?
Yeah, the Slasher.
Showed up again.
They say it just shows up, beats 'em up, and then leaves them alive.
That's not really the strongest, then.
The strongest would have to be...
Simon, the Russian sushi guy.
Or that info broker who moved to Shinjuku.
Izaya Orihara.
Or maybe him!
Shizuo Heiwajima!
Which color gang is the strongest?
That'd be the Dollars.
They don't have a color.
The yellow ones were big up till last year, though.
Yellow?
Yeah, the Yellow Scarves.
I heard they had a full-on fight with a gang called Blue Square,
but it ended up crushing both of them.
Nah, I hear they're back.
Step right up and order!
Engawa! (Fish fin)
Scallops!
It cheap! It cheap!
Actually, don't you see a lot of them lately?
See what?
The yellow ones, right?
You saw 'em, too?
Yellow ones. You can't mean...
The Yellow Rags!
Yellow Scarves, right?
Yeah, those guys!
That was Hermes, right?
No, they were wiped out in the fight with Blue Square.
Yeah, their boss backed down.
Welcome!
Would you tell me about the Dollars?
Pardon?
A friend of mine's trying to get involved with them, and I want to stop him.
Why ask us?
There's no one else I can ask.
Can't ask Izaya Orihara about that, yeah...
We don't know much about them, either.
I'll tell you what we know, though.
Sometimes, this town feels like it's going to swallow me up.
So, Mikado, I won't let you go there.
Mikado?
Sorry.
It's gonna take more than that...
You can tell we're Yellow Scarves, can't you?
Seiji!
Huh?
It's not Mika Harima...
I don't know who you are, but don't ruin our love escape.
Love escape?
Let's go.
But who is that?
Masaomi?
You really Yellow Scarves?
Of course we are.
I'm asking 'cause I don't know.
Why, you...
M-Masaomi!
Hey, Mikado, why did you come here, too?
M-Monster!
Let's go!
Man, you had me worried.
So did you!
In the end,
I guess I did, huh? In the end,
I guess I did, huh? I may be the one who's dependant on him.
Ever since Mikado came here, I feel like my false bravado's becoming real.
I might be able to see her now, without running away...
Yes.
Even I feel that way sometimes.
I didn't think you'd come here again...
Izaya.
Hi.
How's he doing?
He comes by sometimes.
At least, up to there...
I'm back.
Haruna, did you eat?
Haruna?
Yeah, so I banned the troll.
Now it'll be peaceful.
I hope so.
By the way, yesterday some of the Yellow Scarves got hit by the Slasher.
What are the Yellow Scarves?
Think the Slasher works for the Dollars?
No way!
There might be a war brewing.
Everything that happens in this town, though it might not look it,
on some level, it's connected.
It all holds some terrible truth beyond our knowledge.
But...
Morning!
Good morning, Anri.
I know it's a bit late to realize this,
but I guess I don't mind this relationship.
Even if some day, the dots connect,
and something, unseen to us now, goes out of control,
I believe that our relationship won't change.
