Basic Plot:
Mikado Ryūgamine, a young boy who longs for the exciting life of the big city, moves to Ikebukuro, Japan at the invitation of his childhood friend Masaomi Kida, who he has not seen since he was young, to attend Raira Academy with him. After first meeting Masaomi at the train station, they both set out at night to the streets of Ikebukuro. Masaomi warns him about people he doesn't want to cross in the city: like a violent and super-humanly strong man, Shizuo Heiwajima, an information broker, Izaya Orihara, and a mysterious gang known as "The Dollars." After running into some of the side characters, Mikado witnesses a local legend called the "Black Rider", who rides around Ikebukuro on a black bike that occasionally brays like a horse, and who is also rumored to have no head under its helmet. The "Black Rider" is Celty Sturluson, an Irish dullahan. The narrative follows all of the characters equally, showing how their lives intersect, creating a greater plot line from what each character knows about a common incident. It has 9 main characters. The leaders of both gangs are high school students. ~pulled from Wikipedia
Durarara: Great show, wonderful characters, love the factions, all around enjoyable.
