How about Sunshine 60? What? Like right now?

Man, that's where you take your girl friend, not your best friend.

Whoa. Just tell me how I can help.

Hey, are you okay? I'm really sorry! I didn't see you. Are you hurt? Hey, miss?

Yeah Setton, how'd you know? Well, I guess you could say I was there too.

Look around and what do you see?

You find yourself thinking, "I've seen this before. Today is just like any other." Mikado Ryugamine. There's
a shy boy who just arrived in Tokyo. Anri Sonohara. It's nice to meet you. A girl, who seems a little odd
and out of place. I'm Masaomi Kida. I bet you guys think I'm all mature and everything.
But I'm really an innocent little 15-year-old just like the rest of you.
I'm rock. A boy who's having way too much fun And a girl who's just a bit mysterious.
You've probably come across people like this yourself. These are all things you've experienced before.
Seiji Yagiri. It's nice to meet all of you. Sometimes though, when you least expect it, you'll get a tiny
glimpse of another reality seeping into yours. Thank you, Seiji. Please take your seat and we'll move on.
No, sir Seiji, wait. Please just hold on a second. A crack appears in your peaceful life.
It throws you off guard, makes you rethink things.
There's a girl sitting in this classroom who caught a glimpse of just such a thing.
She experienced it two days ago when she should have died.

How do I know that for sure? Because I'm the Nakura who wants to disappear with you. It is you? So
then, I guess you're the one who saved me back there? Right. That's me. I don't know how to thank you.
Were you really scared? Yes That must have been rough. It was.
How did you find out about the kidnapping, though? Easy. I'm the one who had those three losers kidnap
you. Clever, huh?
Oh, and that rescue was arranged by yours truly as well. You arranged it? Let's recap the last few
moments of your life, shall we?
You were scared when you were kidnapped despite the fact that you wanted to die in the first place and
that made you mad.
Now, if you fought back against your kidnappers, you'd be denying the part of you that wanted to die.
So you decided to give up, and accepted your fate.
But now that you're safe and sound, you're thrilled you didn't die.
I wanted to see the look on your face when I told you that.
I wanted to see what you'd look like when you came face to face with someone who could see right
through your pathetic intentions. Why would you... Why would I?
Let's see, it might sound philosophical, but you look like a smart girl, so I think you'll be able to
understand.
Anyway, I'll try to explain it to you.
Simply put, I love humans. Think about it, human beings are the most interesting creatures you could
ever hope to find.
Oh, and when I said I love humans, I meant all humans, not you specifically.
Important detail. So then, you lied? You're getting the picture. How wonderful. Come here.
Many people have jumped to their deaths from the very spot you're standing on.
It's not really famous for it or anything.
But it's high enough that if you jump, the fall will kill you.
Look. See that stain down there?
Tell me something. You think you are special? You are not. Everyone's the same.
Everyone lies, everyone hides things. No one makes it through this life, being completely honest.
I bet you've got a couple of juicy secrets you wouldn't tell your best friend.
So explain this: How come it's okay for you to have secrets but not your parents? Well I... You wanna
know what my thoughts are on this?
I think if you're having an affair or if your spouse knows, at times you still laugh at the same dumb jokes.
You keep eating the same sweet stew, you just keep going.
You see? Whatever problems they had, they're just a big old stain on the pavement now.
Everyone's the same, no exceptions. All of them equal before God.
Want me to let go?
You get it now?
Well, I gotta bounce. Thanks a lot for proving just how ugly and immature you are. It's been real.
And just so you know, I don't really care about your problems.
I just wanted to see how you handled yourself. You didn't let me down, though.
You're just as boring as I imagined you'd be.
I knew you never really wanted to kill yourself.
Thanks again. I had an excellent time, Miss Mazenda. She hesitated for a moment. She thought maybe
she could get back at him, by actually jumping.
But then she began to wonder if this was the exact opportunity she had been waiting for.
Maybe the horrible things he said were what she needed to hear.
But then, something unexpected happened. Wait. Tell me why Izaya:
And again, she goes above and beyond.

Celty:
The girl thought about her mother and father. About her father's lover, and then again about her parents.
They all had secrets she'd never know about.
And was that so terrible? Maybe they weren't as selfish or evil or crapped as she'd originally thought.
Maybe their behavior wasn't a sign of weakness or some kind of compromise.
As she looked for the way home, she thought about forgiving them and keeping it a secret.
Ever since then, the world has looked different.
Everyone she saw had their own lives to live, with their own little secrets.
And she realized that was normal.

But, your last move kinda weak.

If you want high school romance to be a rollicking ride, then you're gonna have to admit there's some
shame in your game and step up to the cut. I wasn't trying to... Masaomi:
Why not you and me pick up some chicks? You like what you see? How couldn't you!
'Cause with these good looks and my awesome moves, you want me! Not a problem.
Having a drink with a guy, even if he's hitting on you, still isn't cheating. So interesting. Let's grab a drink
and you can tell me all about. Fascinating! Why don't we go get that drink now?
Come on, I'll take you someplace nice.
What he was seeking was change. The potential of a new place gave him hope that something different
might happen here.
But what was really waiting for him was the dark underbelly that hides just below this city's surface.
Doubt begins to overtake him. He starts questioning if he can really make it here.
And then, he gets scared. know what you're thinking.
Ride the train and you're treated like a perv! Walk a block and hawkers scam ya.
Stay home too much and the neighbors strike! And then the Dollars and the Headless Rider...
Tokyo is a concrete jungle!
But! That said! It is a challenge that you must overcome!
You wanted to be a real Ikebukurian, didn't you? Then accept your challenge, Mikado Ryugamine!
Hey, and no matter what happens, I've always got your back. And when we're out hitting on girls, do me a
favor: Just smile. Um... I don't know how much luck you're gonna have hitting on girls over 20. So? Who
cares?
The point is just to talk to them. If you actually get digits, bonus.

Izaya:
Bullies, huh?
You wanna save the day, don't ya? It's times like this, when things happen in our city, that defy the
imagination. What are you...
Huh? No no wait, hold on, I... What, dork? Well, you see, I... Izaya:
Bullying people is lame. It's pathetic, really. What are you? Like 40? Butt out. Listen, it's not my problem if
you lovely ladies get pommeled to death and die.
I can knock your teeth down your throat, or you can bag on my age when I'm actually just 23, I don't care.
You're in a class that's so beneath me, it doesn't matter. Huh? Human beings are weak things.
But, beating up chicks isn't really my shtick.
So, I guess the next best thing I can do is take your precious cell phone, and smash it. And now I'm
bored.
I guess that's enough cellphone smashing for one day. Yo yo yo! You going down, fool. Violence? Ooh,
that's so scary. Wha- You mother... Whoa, you're too tough for me! Hey, wait! Stop!
You're asking for trouble, dog! He didn't even know it was coming.

Izaya:
Man, that was truly impressive. Trying to save the oppressed girl from the bullies?
So Masaomi, it's been a while. Yeah, it has. That's a Raira Academy uniform, yah?
Well done on getting in. Oh, sorry, this guy here's just a friend. Hmm...
I am Izaya Orihara, you are? I'm Mikado Ryugamine. Sounds like the name of an air conditioner. So then,
what brings you out this way? I came to see somebody.
And now I have.

Shizu-chan. Last I heard you had some gig, working over by the West gate. Got fired ages ago.
And I'm pretty sure that I've told you never to call me that.
My name is Shizuo Heiwajima. Try to get it right. Oh, come on, Shizu-chan.
So I pinned you for something you didn't do. Who knew you'd get so mad? Oh, I'm not mad. I just wanna
beat the shit out of you You know, the problem with you, Shizu-chan, is that you can't be swayed by
reason and that's bad.
Really bad.
Now let me go In the face of fear, your average man will lose his ability to think rationally. You aimed for
my head.
You have to know a blow like that could kill a guy, right?
And this means that you were intentionally trying to kill me, right?
So then, whatever happens next is what you deserve, right? Men with overwhelming power instinctively
strike fear into the hearts of others.
He's violence personified... It's what he lives and breathes...
Simply put, he is the very definition of violence.

Now and then, this city will give you a gift. These little presents contain big miracles.
The very adventure you seek is now there before you, creating a host of new possibilities.
And... Um... H-Hey, I just.. Thank you so much. Sometimes, the adventure never comes. You know,
Izaya was in Ikebukuro today.
I was hoping that I could wipe him off the planet, once and for all.
But then, Simon showed up. Bastard. What's up? Why was he there? This is a city overflowing with
strangers...
They all come here, looking for something or someone.
They come to this city, hoping to change something.
And I am no different.

I do appreciate you, Transporter.

I can't get by without you, and you can't get by without me. I'd rather the latter weren't the case. Oh, don't
be like that. I'm sure I'll be enlisting your services again.
All I wanna do is stay on your good side. For as long as that may be.. Am I wrong or did that sound
creepy? You're wrong. I'm simply misunderstood.
Oh, by the way, have you ever heard of a Dullahan? It's a headless faerie from Irish folklore.
There's a guy who claims he once saw one. He's a portrait painter who hangs out over in Yoyogi Park.
He was making a fuss the other day, kept yelling "The head is gone! The head is gone!"
I don't know, but it sounds to me like he was talking about a Dullahan. Is he still there? Maybe. I have no
idea.
Well, that seemed to intrigue her.

Let's go!
Sometimes, it seems this city is only made up of pranks, impulses, and chance. And this could just be
another one of God's pranks or impulses.
Here I am, walking home next to a chick that easily tops my list of the 37 girls I fell in love with on the first
day of school.
She's a first-rate hottie with glasses. And then, this dork shows up. Totally blows... This so isn't working.
I sure didn't see that coming. You putting the moves on her before me. That isn't what I was doing! What
the... Mikado!

But, you know, it's all good.

I think if I were you, though, I would have taken that shot and scored.
By now, I'd be whispering sweet nothings to her in West Gate Park.
Don't get shocked and go out with me! It's all right. You don't need to answer right away.
I've got the same offer out to 7 other girls and I still don't know which one I want most. Don't waste your
time trying to make sense of this guy, Anri. It'll just make your head hurt.
I know he likes to act like a playboy, but he's far from it. Last time he hit on girls... Okay, you've said
enough!
This guy is Mikado Ryugamine, my best friend.
He comes from the sticks and has just been in Ikebukuro a few days.
He's pretty naive, but also really stubborn. So, I can never leave him alone.
And it seems this noob and I have ended up in a bit of love triangle. I guess that's part of being young.

Mr. Nasujima, you sexually harassing her?

Wow, you sure were getting pretty handy there with our class rep, teach.
I mean, if that wasn't sexual harassment, then I sure don't know what is.
So, you like the sexy horosho types. Kida! Enough with the clowning!
Anri, I wouldn't want you to get the wrong idea and start spreading rumors. Does she really seem like the
gossipy type to you? No, you got a point. You kids take care. And you have nothing to worry about. The
only one spreading rumors will be me.
Totally heroic, right? Can you get more awesome than me? How can she not be in love right now?
Masaomi? Anri? Of course this is when you would show up.

Were the two of you close? Were you good friends? Why is he asking her that? Well, we were together
all the time. Whoa, his intuition is oddly good. I'm not naturally very social, but she dragged me along
wherever she went.
And it was only because of her I actually met people.
Then when I found out she chose the same high school I did, I actually felt kinda guilty about it. So, then..
Mikado, I know what you're thinking.
That Mika only kept Anri around to make herself look better.
But dude, don't say that. I know. Know what? That Mika was only using me to make herself look better.
But to be completely honest, I was using her, too.
Depending on her made my life easier, pretty soon, I couldn't imagine living any other way. Um... But
now, I think I'm okay. I've realized that I don't really need her.
I'm used to it now. I'm doing fine without her.
To tell you guys the truth, I only asked to be class rep because that's the job she wanted.
I figured I should just do it in her place.
I wanted to prove to myself that I can be better than she is.
You think I'm devious, don't you? Actually, I think it's devious that you're telling us this.
It kinda seems like you're asking for a forgiveness or something.
The fact that you wanted to be better than her is not something you should feel the need to defend.
If you ask me, that's something you should really own and be proud of.
Uh... But... You're so right. Thank you, Mikado. I've gotta say, I do dig this side of him.

I had some serious depression going on before Mikado came to Ikebukuro.

I am who I am now only because a lot of people helped me out.
And one of them was definitely Mikado.
He's just kinda dropped in to Ikebukuro. And I can tell this city's too much for him.
He looks so vulnerable here, and it worries me.
I could cool him down by taking him to places a little more chill.

But I see that look in his eyes and I know he digs it here.
So instead, I just try to stick with him as much as possible.
If I had my way, he'd never have to see the darkness that lurks in this place.
And neither would I...
Bang.
I promised myself that I would never go there again.
It may not look like it at first, but everything that happens in this town is somehow related.
It's all part of some larger, awful truth that's beyond our comprehension.
However...
Good morning! Hey, Anri. Good morning. I may be slow to realize this, but I'm okay with this little triangle
we got going on.
You know, even if things take a turn for the worse and the dots connect in ways I can't foresee, I believe
this relationship won't change.
Bet we can weather whatever storm lies ahead.

Yeah, exactly! Just because Mika has gone missing, it doesn't mean she was actually kidnapped.
I mean, I really doubt some gang grabbed her or killed her and then tried to... Ever heard of something
called tact? I screwed up. Here we are. Nigiri-sushi for three.
It's okay. It's fish sushi. Our sushi not made from human, even on half-price day! Go on, but... Now he is
talking about this?
Simon! I think your banner outside fell down! Yeah, I saw it, too! Let's go fix it! I'll help

That's right. Kazutawno was the last of a dying breed.

As a matter of fact, it was this guy here who gives Saburo the biggest thrill of his entire life...
Tickets to see Ruri Hijiribe. Saburo has a mad love for this goddess. He's by far her biggest fan.
Kazutawno set him up with front row tickets to a show no one was able to get tickets to.

We've gotta find him, if for no other reason than our respect for Saburo.

And, since there's no one at the top shouting down orders, I don't feel like I'm working for anyone.
But, I'd be lying if I told you I wasn't at all curious as to who's behind this organization.
Just between you and me, I've got my suspicions on who that guy may be.
I bet you anything it's that asshole who started calling me Dotachin.

Hmm, fatty tuna is the best. Hm?

Getting colder. You won't find what you're looking for there. Ahhh! Oh, crap, Celty... I'm sorry...

So you borrowed money to bang some bathhouse chick? It's love!

She's not just some chick! Mint and I have true love! I don't have her number. And I can only see her at
work.
But I mean it! What we have is real! You piss me off!
The only time this girl will see you is at the bathhouse? And she hasn't even given you her phone numbe
Let me say this up front.
You are telling me... you really think... Oh, boy... THAT'S TRUE LOVE?!!!!
I really hate violence.

I don't know how that works. I just know I can't control my anger.
And when I do get angry, I destroy everything, including my own body. That's all I've learned.
So since then, I've stopped holding back. If I couldn't do it anyway, why bother trying?
Broken bones? Hah, who gives a damn?!
I've wrecked my body a thousand times now, and each time, I come back stronger.
Shinra once said, "You know what?" Screw what he said! I come back tougher every time!
But still... Hey. You seem to get hurt an awful lot, are you okay? Stay right there.
Here you go. You need to drink some milk and strengthen those bones. Same for you! Thank you.

To be honest, he's not really good at all. That isn't nice, Shinra. No, no, I meant that in a good way. You
piss me off. Oh, yeah?
Too bad. I was thinking you and I could have some real fun together. Shut up. Now why you gotta be like
that, Shizuo?

See? Isn't this a blast? And that was it.

We've been trying to kill each other from the very first day we met.
There's no good reason, I just don't like him.
But... Are you okay? It's alright. Don't worry. He's quite virile. Are you sure we shouldn't take him to the
hospital? No, no. He'll be fine. That'll be all. Yeah. I screwed up.

Hey, Kasuka. What brings you here? Hm?

A bartender getup. You shouldn't be changing jobs all the time.
I bought you several different pairs. This way, you can stay here awhile. Thanks, man. Well, I'll do my
best.
And so... Son of a...
Izaya! That little maggot set me up.
He slipped out of 'bukuro pretty quickly. The police soon realized I was innocent and let me go.
But... Sorry, I didn't mean to break my promise...

They're in 'bukuro, and they don't know Shizuo. Guess they did go to a public school. What I'm wearing...
was a gift from my little brother...

Listen man, you don't gotta beat up on all of 'em.

Once I say the name "Shizuo Heiwajima", most people pay up. That's what he tried to tell me, anyway.
That was also around the same time Kasuka started getting busy.
It's been a long time since I last saw him. I wonder if I've let him down.

But like I said, I really hate violence. I just wanna get stronger.
Strong enough so that someday, I can contain my anger...

You know, I feel better after telling you all this. Thank you. Celty:
Good. I'm glad to hear it. I've just been so pissed off lately, and I don't know why. Yeah, I heard
something along those lines, so I came to check on you. Well, it's all good. Sorry to have worried you.
Hm?
Shut up. See ya. I don't fit in with most people, but I don't like being alone, either.
So I try to stay connected through guys like Tom or Kasuka.
She's a lot like me. I'm sure she has someone, too...

Enough about all this. Come on, why don't we get changed?
We should go and do something today. I'll take the day off with you.
See? I'm even turning off my phone.
Hey! I'll close the network, too! I'll pull the cord so I can't check email!
After all, there's no time like the present, right? So, where should we go?
What do you think about taking your horse down to the beach? Or maybe we go to a hot springs? Celty:
I don't wanna go anywhere If we're taking the day off, I'd like to cook for you. A sort of "thank you." Tell
me what you want. We can look for a recipe.

Celty:
At that moment, my focus shifted.
I wasn't thinking about my head. Nor the century worth of Dullahan memories that live inside it.
I wasn't thinking of anything, except... that... Shinra:
Hey, will you come eat with me?
The restaurant won't complain, if I order dinner for two.
I know a really great place. Please, Celty!
To be honest, I hate eating by myself.

What is this convoluted mystery food in front of me? Let me see. Hm... Wow, according to your fortune,
you're gonna find what you're looking for.
Easy, I'm not used to you being so happy. I'm very happy, Shinra! So, what does yours say? My cookie
didn't have a fortune

It's the girl that he's with.

She has a distinctive scar around her neck. Izaya:
A girl? He is a boy with needs. Get started at once! Whoa whoa, wait a sec!
Don't you think that there're far more important things that we should be looking into first?
Rumor has it, the foreign entity, Nebra, has been making serious advances towards acquiring your
company.
Now, that would make your current position- Mr. Izaya Orihara! I don't have time to chitchat right now
Hm... Surprising.
A woman like you falling for her brother. Who would have thought? You don't know a single thing about
me. I know the name Namie Yagiri, and know she's achieved.
Your uncle took some big risks that didn't turn out so well, lost the family business.
And now the current president of Yagiri Pharmaceuticals is a very button-down, practical man.
But you came into the company on the bottom floor and like the smart girl you were, worked your way up
the ladder.
You've got brains and beauty. I guess you do know me fairly well.
A guy like you should have no problem finding my brother. Right, the brother...
Maybe this is one affair you shouldn't meddle in. What I'm doing is not meddling!
The only one capable of protecting him is me! It's always so hard to see the obvious when you're stalking
someone.
The stalker thinks they're protecting their victi- Don't you ever compare me to a stalker again! Scary! I was
only kidding.
Okay, I'll help. But in a way I see fit.
We informants work differently than cops Just what kinda game is that? Question: the girl you mentioned
with the scar on her neck, are you jealous of her? Why do you ask Mm-hm.

Shizuo:
Go on, don't worry about me.
This doesn't hurt. Go.
I don't know what this is all about, but you do what you gotta do.
Humph, I've always wanted to say this.
Go on ahead and leave this one to me! Got it?

Tell me. Is that your girlfriend? She is! Fate brought us together! So then, why is she acting like that?
Beats me! What the hell kind of answer is that?! So you say that you love her, but you don't know
anything about her.
Guess you're a pretty lame boyfriend then, aren't ya? All that I need to know about her is that I love her!
That's all! Okay, then, educate me.
How did fate bring you both together? My actions will prove my love!
Just watch! I'll prove it! I like you a lot better than Izaya.
So I'm only gonna send you home with this!
This will just bleed if I take it out. Better stop and get a band-aid.
Or, maybe some super glue would do the trick.

She needs me! I have to find her!

We are meant to be together! Ah, I hear you.
Don't worry now. You just leave everything to me.
That girl's got nerve. A doll should behave like a doll and stay put.
The last thing it should do is interfere with my love for Seiji.
I've made up my mind. I don't want any more regrets. I'm through with that.

Izaya:
I see. Everyone is busy.
This'll be fun! This'll be fun! This'll be fun!
There's just so much going on in this town that even I don't know anything about!
It's an endless sea of entertainment! This is why I love this bustling hotbed of humans.
I love them! I love them all! I love them all so much! And that is why...
My lovely little humans should love and adore me, too.

If this took place in the morning and it made you late for school, it'd be way better.
Oh, and if she were a transfer student, too, genius!
No, no, wait! She's a princess and your long-lost friend! Now, that's perfect!
Tell me, are you catching my witty sarcasm here or not? Yeah, but if you have to explain it, then it's not so
witty.
She says she can't remember anything and she won't let me go to the police.
I don't know what else I should do.

Check it out.
He was just rounding a corner, and bumps into a cutie with amnesia who's being chased by bad guys.
And who's she living with now? This guy! Hey, does someone wanna buy my lunch tickets? Masaomi:
See? Nothing to worry about because no one believes it.
So, how's the hottie? Sleeping beauty's pretty sleepy.
Alright, let's get to the point.

When I came to this school to register, I saw a list of names on a desk as I was handing in my paperwork.
I noticed one of the names right away, I thought it was cool.
The guy with that name was right next to me...
And then, next thing I know, he and I ended up being class reps together... Wait a second!
Isn't this sort of like what her friend Mika did to that Seiji guy?
Oh, man! Is she a stalker?
Hold on. If she's cute, maybe it's okay.
No, no, no, no. This is still bad.
If something happens...
Sh-She could coolly stab me!
Or she might even set my place on fire!
Hold on. What if she takes my parents hostage?
But if she's a good person, maybe I don't mind her stalking me.
What am I saying? If she's stalking me, then she can't be a good person. was just kidding.
Besides, you wouldn't want someone like me hanging around all the time. I know that sounded weird.
But don't worry, I'm not a stalker or anything!

I think it's time you got a lesson about where you belong on the food chain. Izaya:
Are you exploiting my rule against hitting women?
What a clever girl you are. I would ask you out.
However, you're so not my type. Now scram! You are an asshole! Have a nice day!
So, Mikado Ryugamine, I was laying low outside the school's front gate, hoping I'd run into you.
I'd like to have a little chat.
By the way, what's the Black Rider doing here?

Just give me a minute, okay?

I wanna go inside and explain things.
I'm afraid she might think that I betrayed her if she sees you guys before I tell her what's really going on...
I understand. He sure is a cautious boy, isn't he? You know, this was the first time I've actually heard your
real name.
I had no idea that you were a foreigner... Liar.
Throw another rock at my horse and I'll make you swallow it. Wow, it's a horse. Who knew?
Hey, what do you think? This is taking longer than it should, right? Cleaning service... in this run-down
place?
Oh, no..

Izaya:
Yup.
It's a dying behemoth of a company that's about to be bought out by a foreign investor. Mikado:
The girl with the scar on her neck, the Dullahan, the disappearances, Mika Harima, Seiji Yagiri, human
trafficking, and then, the Dollars. Celty:
What's he doing? Mikado:
I didn't wanna be normal. Izaya:
Honestly, I only half believed this was true Mikado:
I need a big favor. I'm hoping you guys can help me out.
I wanted my life to be different from everyone else.
Alright, I think all my cards are in order now.
That's why... Izaya:
And jackpot! Mikado:
I decided to...
11

Shizuo:
"What's the meaning of life? What's the reason we're here?"
Some guy asked me that once and I responded by pummeling his pathetic ass to chum.
I get an emo kid in junior high asking that, but a 20-something yakuza? That's just wrong.

Celty:
I've been in this city for 20 years now.
After all this time, have I changed? Shinra:
It wasn't a waste of time.
The 20 years you've lived here were well-spent.
Use what you've learned going forward. And you'll see your life has purpose here. Celty:
Use what I've learned?
And how would I go about doing that? Shinra:
For starters... you could marry me.

Namie:
This is the question you ask?
If a boy your age suddenly gets wrapped up in the underworld, and all he can do is shout cliches like that,
then he should learn to shut his mouth. Mikado:
This'll work, right? Maybe it was cliche and simple, but so what? Who cares?
Someone like you may need cliches. After all, you can't understand the simple fact that murder is wrong!
You watch too much TV.
This isn't a scripted show written by some hack. You're playing for real now.
You're not in a TV show or a movie, you don't have the starring role here.
So, know your place! It's gonna be okay. And just what's wrong with that?
With cliches! The expected! I'd love that!
I love tired old stories and happy endings! What's so wrong about wanting that?!
I'm not gonna tell you I'm doing this for humanity or for the sake of the world.
I just wanna see if it's true. Because I believe it is. That's right. I believe. I believe in them.
They'll do it. I know it. You're right. My ideas are pretty conventional.
But, that's just another way of saying, what I believe, exactly what the majority of people believe, too! That
all you had to say? Are you done? You refuse to listen to reason, and I'd have no luck against you just by
myself.
You won't even give me the time to try. That's why... I'll rely on numbers! What? Check it out! Is everyone
here in on this?

Celty:
Screw it! Namie:
Who said that? Celty:
That's right. I have no head! I'm a monster!
I have no mouth to speak my thoughts or eyes to convey my emotions! Are you hearing that?
Who's saying it? But so what?! Who gives a damn?! I don't care anymore! Shizuo:
Celty. I am here. And I am real. Celty:
If you say I have no eyes, then watch my actions very closely.
Listen to the cries of those around you, the ones who've angered this monster! It's... it's the Headless
Rider... That's right, I'm here.
Right in front of you. Take a look.
Do you hear me screaming? This is my moment! This is my time to be born!
I am injecting my very existence into the veins of this city! Celty:
That's right. I found something in this city that is genuinely true.
It's so simple and ordinary that it's hard to believe.
I think that boy has found it, too.

Shinra:
I don't get it, why do you keep watching these shows anyway?
They only freak you out.
You even recorded one yesterday. Well, if you're afraid of someone, you should learn everything you can
about them.
That way, you can deal with them when the time comes And just when would that be? W-Well... Izaya:
Hey, Transporter. Got a job for you. Damn you, Izaya...
Just exactly what part of this is simple and safe?

Celty:
May I ask what's in it? Izaya:
It's just like you.
It's something that isn't supposed to exist.
The Squamata Lacertilia Scincidae, or the Cape Verde Giant Skink.
They were thought to be extinct for over seventy years.
But, then they found one.

Masaomi:
Once summer starts, we won't be seeing each other every day.
If we wanted to, we could avoid each other indefinitely. Mikado:
That's why you put us through this tonight? Summer break's gonna come around next year and the year
after that.
But you never know, maybe the three of us won't be as tight then. I guess some things could change, no
matter how similar each summer may seem. Exactly. So I wanted to take a plain old day like this, and turn
it into something cool like a festival.
I wanted to make it memorable.

We got this intel broker who found our bag of cash.

And when we got it back, he said you were the one who stole it!Shizuo:
Hey, chief, you mind?

And the story ends with a line from a poem:

God's in His Heaven. All's right with the world!

12

No, this can't be true. This means that... Izaya:

Well, you couldn't even tell the difference between the genuine article and the fake.
Guess your love wasn't that strong after all. Sucks to be you.

Um, I have to say the fact that you were willing to risk your life to get her back is pretty admirable.
And it turns out that it was actually wrong about Mika.
Some other things she does may be strange, but I really don't think she's a stalker.
I mean, you risked your life to save Seiji.
I don't think someone would do that if they were only in it for themselves.
And even though he tried to kill you, you still loved him. That's amazing.
In some ways, so then I guess, you and Seiji... you're a lot alike.

Welcome home.
I'm guessing you wanna know why I did what I did.
And your next question is, "You've known all along, haven't you? That my head was in their lab.
I bet you and your dad had been working with Yagiri Pharmaceuticals this whole time.
And chances are, it was your dad who took my head from me in the first place.
But for some reason you decided to hide all that from me, and butchered some poor innocent girl's face
instead.
I may be a monster, but the savage beast who really destroys people's lives is you." Was that close?
Look, I just don't want there to be any confusion on this.
I really don't know if my dad stole your head or not, and to be honest, I don't care.
And that poor girl you spoke of volunteered for that surgery.
Although, chances are, Yagiri did persuade her to do it.
But in the end, that's none of my business.
"Do you really know what I'm thinking? Are you actually reading my mind?" You ask?
Yes, of course I can. I've loved you for 20 years, Celty. I can tell what you're thinking. Celty:
But then, why? If you love me, why didn't you tell me where my head was? Shinra:
That's the reason. It's because I love you that I didn't tell you.
If you had your head, then I'm afraid you would leave me. And I know that I couldn't bear that.
Even though I knew it'd make you happy, I couldn't tell you.
We're each fighting for something. And what's at stake are our hearts.
I never wanna lose you. And if I have to sacrifice the life and love of others, or even myself, then so be it.
It's hypocritical, but if I have to use your emotions, too, I will.

Celty:
I don't know why you think that.
Even if I had my head, I wouldn't leave you, I...

Shinra:
That may be what your heart wants, but your head may not feel the same.
I've really thought about this. You're a mythical faerie. Why do you choose to reveal yourself to humans
as easily as you do?
Maybe, somehow by losing your head, it's allowed you to take on more of a physical form.
And if that's true, then who's to say after you get your head back that you won't just vanish into thin air, as
if all of this was nothing more than a dream?
That's my biggest fear.

Celty:
Will you believe what I'm about to say? Shinra:
If you say it's true, I'll believe you.
To be honest, you're the only one I believe.

Celty:
I'm scared, too. I'm scared of dying.
I know that in my current physical state, no one's capable of killing me.
This isn't me being arrogant, it's just a statement of fact.
I take no joy or satisfaction from this. It's just true.
But, to be honest, that's what scares me the most.
My body has no control over whether or not I live or die. My head has that power.
And if someone were to destroy my head, then I would die, too, no matter what I want or where I am.
I need you to believe what I'm telling you. I may not have a brain or eyes, but this gives me nightmares.
I need you to believe that this thought terrorizes me.
I'm scared of the fact that my own death may be staring me in the face and I won't even see you coming.
That's why I want my head. Please, tell me you believe this. Shinra:
I told you. You're the only one I do believe.
This is quite a conundrum. Both of us are getting very upset by situations that are simply hypothetical.

Celty:
Yeah, you're right.
Hey, Shinra. What is it? I need to hit you. Do it!
All right, now I get to hit you back. Perfect! You're prettiest when you're not hiding your face, you know.
That punch was a kiss to celebrate our marriage, okay?
Are you crying?

I'm a little shocked by all this.

I knew there were a lot of people online claiming that they were members of the Dollars.
However, I had no idea so many of them would actually make an effort to turn up when a meeting
was finally called.
Human beings defy imagination.
Remember, I know you came here to Tokyo, hoping to escape the humdrum.
But in about 6 months, this'll all seem pretty ordinary to you.
At that rate, you'll have to move to another country to keep things exiting, or start looking for
things that are a little more underground.
But I'd be willing to bet that you would get bored of that in just a few days, as well.
The only way to truly escape the mundane is for you to constantly be evolving.
Whether you choose to aim high or aim low. Enjoy each day for what it is.
Now, as a sign of respect, I've decided not to charge you for Namie Yagiri's private cell phone
number.
And I'm not gonna sell you out on being the founder of the Dollars.
It's your organization. Use it however you choose.

Shizuo:
Izaya! Izaya:
Looks like it's time for me to go.
Best of luck to ya, Taro Tanaka!

And that was it. The next day, everything went back to normal.
For this guy. And that guy. And for the boy.

Hey. Sorry, but a job just came in.

They said it's kinda urgent.

Celty:
That's fine. My life, it went back to normal, as well.
Running across people I'd rather not meet.
Just like it was any other day. Izaya:
It looks like you've moved on.
You know, people are afraid of spooky things, 'cause they tend to lurk in the dark and then jump out at ya.
After that little entrance you made, I doubt anyone's gonna be scared of you anymore.
Thinking back, you didn't kill anyone, did you?
That scythe's all bark and no bite.
I'm guessing you're gonna go after that woman now.
I would be glad to help you out with that. Just call me.
Bye now.

Celty:
I have no idea where Namie Yagiri went.
But I don't care. I'm me. And that's enough.
My days were always pretty uncomplicated, not too full of hope or despair.
And they're still like that. It's just that now, I find them incredibly satisfying.
Here I am. And there you are.
If you can find redemption in me, then I can do the same with you.

And the young boy is still pondering his conversation with Izaya Orihara.
Can a person truly have a life that's always new? Always full of excitement and impossibility?
Or is it just a matter of time before that, too, becomes part of the every day?

Celty:
As for her, chances are she won't be spending much time with Mika Harima anymore.
And in the end, only she will know if that's the right decision. But then, maybe she won't.
It's rare for a person to truly understand their own heart.
As someone once said, the best thing you can do is keep evolving.
He was empowered by his previous actions. So he thought he could do anything now.
But unfortunately, what the young boy had failed to account for was the sheer amount of courage it would
take in order for him to ask out his classmate.

In 30 seconds, the boy will find the girl.

In 35 seconds, the boy will discover his best friend hitting on the girl.
In 45 seconds, the boy will kick the crap out of him.
In 74 seconds, the girl will reject the boy's offer to get coffee.
And in 78 seconds, that girl will ask the boy to have lunch with her on the roof.
How long will it take for him to fall in love with her?
And how long before he works up the nerve to tell her?

Izaya:
I gotta say, that was very foolish of you.
You threw away everything for your brother's twisted version of love.
Or maybe, it was your twisted love for your brother?
So this can't look good, can it?
You're about to merge with the Nebra people.
Let them catch wind of something like this, and the next thing you know you've got some mafia hit-man on
your tail.
Then after that... Pow! And checkmate!

Cleaning crew? Man:

That's them. That's the normal crew they use. Izaya:
Got it. Hello? Things are getting a little bit heated in your neck of the woods.
You should get out of there soon.

I wish the king pieces could fight each other. They should change that rule.
I've gotta think that your uncle was a lot like me.
He questioned the afterlife more than anyone, feared death more than anyone, and longed for
heaven more than anyone.
But the afterlife, well that, I believe in. We'll just leave it at that.
For whatever reason, Dullahans are always depicted as women in the legends.
Do you know why that is? Namie:
No, I don't.
My men did a little research on the myths, but in the end, I thought it was a waste of time.

Izaya:
You're always the pragmatic one. Well, suit yourself.
There's a place called Valhalla. It's sort of like a heaven.
And according to Nordic mythology, the soul of a fallen warrior is guided to Valhalla by an
armored female angel known as a Valkyrie.
A woman who comes to greet the dead... Doesn't that sound familiar?
Some theorize that a Dullahan is actually a Valkyrie who was wandering around on Earth.
And if that's true, then this head is probably waiting.
Waiting to wake up for war. Then she can find her warrior and take him to Valhalla.
That's why she's alive, but with her eyes closed, because we aren't on a battlefield.
It's my wish that she would choose me as her warrior.
If there truly is a Valhalla awaiting me after death, how do I even prepare for this?
I mean, I know I'm not really cut out for battlefield heroics.
So then I'll have to start a war that only I can win. Right?
Aren't I the lucky one?
Imagine me, who doesn't believe in a heaven, much less a virtuous life.
And yet I still meet an angel of death who's fallen to Earth. Namie:
Whatever.
That's simply a theory of yours.

Izaya:
Whosoever believeth will be saved.
This is just insurance, really.
Even if I do end up in a hell surrounded by pain, as long as I could exist, I wouldn't care.
But that said, if it is at all possible, I would still prefer heaven.
Hey, Namie! Why don't we all go to heaven?
As a member of the Dollars, I'm gonna keep this, hiding in plain sight.
The last place Celty is gonna look for her head is within the same gang that she belongs to.
I know! You should become part of the Dollars, too!
It's a little known fact that our boss doesn't turn down anyone.
Of course, after a while, I was the one who was instrumental in gathering people.
I say we give this fallen angel a pair of wings again. What do you think?

I dont know where this path leads, I dont know which paths Ive chosen until now. Right and left, yes
or no. We must continuously chose which path to take. Yes and no are tangled in an endless web, and I
dont know which is the right path. If I did, I could correctly trace back all of tada B decisions until now
Id find Linda there, but, I cant turn back. I cant find the past Ive lost. If I fall again, can I do everything
over? Whats the answer? Dont run anymore, dont go where I cant reach you! Stay with me forever! I
love you.

Banri, Im glad I got to meet you again. Im really happy. I was willing to give up everything. I prayed to
god to let you love. Youre alive, You're here! Thats all I want, I wont ask for anything else. Linda, I'm
sorry. I didnt know what you were thinking. I was afraid, I ran, so this is how you found out about us. I
caused you a lot of trouble, but I just want to support you as your senior, as someone who knows of
your accident, if you dont mind anyway. Why would you do that for me-because You're Tada. Even if
you dont remember, You're important to me. I enjoy spending time with you Tada.
Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru
This is a situation that could start world war 3 and make the world end-Then let it end, if this is a world
where theres someone who would raise suspicion that Im not wearing panties, Id rather see it end.
That love crap can take a hike. People who want to be in love can do so on their own. But I dont want
any of it. So thats why you confessed to be you wat someone you can pretend to date.-I see why
You're top of our grade, your speedy comprehension saves me time. Why me-because youre the same
as me, arent you? You understand quickly, you seem put off by love too. I didnt just sit next to you for
fun. Youre pretty impressive-I thought you were gay at first. Okay not so impressive. With all that said
Kidou, please become my fake boyfriend. I dont want to- I say boyfriend but all you have to do is walk
home with me every day. No. the guys seem like theyll be jealous. And the girls will start rumors-I guess
we really are alike. I worry a lot, just like you-thats why theres one more important thing necessary
for my fake boyfriend to possess, other than a disinterest in love. Hed have to be someone, who
wouldnt betray me, no matter what, Kidou. Theres no one else than you, who has these traits. Thats
why I dont plan on letting you get away, K. Its foolish to ignore reality, K. I dont want to, dont worry
Ive already scanned all the pages and saved them on my PC. Theyre supposed to be secure on there,
but they might get accidentally leaked somehow. The internets a scary place Ill ask you one more
time, K eita will you become my boyfriend? You bitch-sorry I couldnt quite hear you I wonder if thats a
sign that my PCs getting a virus. Call me Masuzu from now on. Now lets walk home. Itsimportant for
humans to give up.

Ah, the clouds are stained red as blood. Ragnarok must be drawing near. Youre acting like this has
nothing to do with you? Youre awful! Whats wrong not confident in your choice of underwear?-Did
you see?-I dont know Then maybe I should pull a little higher-stop, I wont see any panties under
there! Its only natural for two people who love each other to stare into each others eyes. Quit messing
around-you know you liked it. But now shes found something she can pour hear heart into again, thats
why she wont quit. That answered my question. I now understand why your friendship with H is still
ongoing. But dont forget, dont forget E, You're my boyfriend now.-arent I just a fake-you are, but that
doesnt change the fact that youre mine. So. Dont pay attention to any other girls when youre with
me.-just, just how fare are you going to take this thing?-All the way-its all a lie!

Why are you crying now, stupid its because you said something so moving, even if its just you.
Something I can do.alright Ive decided-Ill become a doctor! Im going to study every day and graduate
at the top of our class at H. then Ill get into a medical school. But your grades are bellow average-thatll
blow out of the water in higschool, As long as I have the grades and qualifications, it wont matter that
my parents are gone. Ill definitely cure you. Yea really, medical pgoress is amaising by the time were
aadults medical science will have advanced far beyond todays. No, rather, I will make it advance!
Thank you Ei-Ill always be here, forever waiting for you Ill make ti advance,, what an unbelivible
idiocy.
Theres a reason why its called S-Everything I say is a lie. Fabrications without a shred of truth. You said
so yourself, I;ma bitch.-Quit acting all twisted, Natsukawa Masuzu!-B-but youre just like me, arent
you? Thats right. Were the same. Im twisted too. And Ill always be your partner in crime! Butbut
that doesnt mean you can force others to feel as hopeless as we do! Chiwa isnt like us ( she wanted her
to feel as hopeless in love as they do even anti love) Ill be back. Dont leave me I don/t want to be
alone anymore=pat on the head, poke on the forehead-Silly keep your chin up. If you dont, you wont
see your boyfriend saving the day.-( saving the day but stepping through the bullies and.acting like a
zzz rank 1 fighter who just got his powers back, describing it.yes) Apologize for leading her on. Then
are we still gonna keep S club going-I I tend to-You and I, who both abhor love, will try to think of ways
for people who still believe in love to become insanely popular. Doesnt it sound exciting? We can
remove Harusakis brainwashing after were done.- you havent given up yet?-well I am twisted.- what?
You're still holding what I said yesterday against me?-not really. Sounds good to me anyway- Ill hang
around until Chiwa stops causing problems. She did get rejected, shell keep coming to the club. you
seem to know everything about Harusaki-we are childhood friends, after all(she leans in for a kiss)
You havent kissed H yet have you-o of course not! Then remember this-your first wasnt Harusaki C, it
was me, Natsukawa Masuzu. Sowhat do you think-You're as bold as ever-thats not what I meant. Are
you okay with this?- well the person you kissed was a fake.-you really are dense. It had to be you. That
was one of the best scenes from.jojo part 1. I could only enjoy it with a fellow jojo fan as yourself. I
thought youd realize what was going on right away. Why are you here- to make breakfast for my
boyfriend while wearing an apron-would you expect anything less form a maiden playing the part of a
girlfriend? I texted you. Whats wrong? Wait, did you want to see me in nothing but an apron?fine...
then perhaps if shes here i should introduce myself-no stay there-i dont care ifa new Stand user
appears, stay put. Youre aweating bullets-I..I just saved all of mankind. Its a war zone...

A chan can act kind of defensive sometimes, but theres a reason for that. So could you give some
thought to why she acts the way she dos?-why are you telling me that, she has a boyfriend doesnt she?-
what?! Only people who dont have anything to be proud of put on fronts. F gets good grades and takes
her hall monitor duties seriously. Shes got no reason to lie.-thats right, I'm ranked third in our grade, a
hall monitor, and honest to a fault. I wouldnt get worked up enough to do something so incredibly
stupid and lie about it!

Im the only one who doesnt have memories of you-then well have to make some, starting now lots of
them.
If there were someone who could stay with Masuzu, who do you thinkd be?-Someone who could stick
with a liar? Thats totally obvious-a partner in crime.

Keep acting, keep playing Natsukawa M. to the bitter end. Why did you come here for. Im here to play
your boyfriend. Lets start over Masuzu. -Itllbe the same no matter how many times we do this. Well
end up twisted, not right for each other. No matter how close a fake gets, itll never be the real thing. -
But two fakes may be right for each other.- It wont work. You have genuine reals all around you.
Yeah, reals that are way too good for me.- then why do you want to stay with a fake? Isnt it obvious- its
because I love you Masuzu! The first time we met, I assumed you were a bitch because of how beautiful
you were. And I couldnt have been more right. I thought all you had going for you was your looks. You
were such a bitch that I just had to laugh. But thats why I love you. Im in love with you.- youre not
making any sense.- The only person who could stick with a total bitch like you is a total bastard like
me! You know better than anyone just how terrible and embarrassing I really am! That s why youre the
only one for me! - Dont joke about itIve always hated you, eitea. I hated the fact that you had better
grades than me. I hated the fact that you didnt talk to me, even though I sat next to you. I hated the
fact that you were so close to your childhood friend. Ive always loathed you from the bottom of my
heart. I kept telling myself that Id make sure you got your just desserts. I was overjoyed when I got my
hands on you know what, but I was sad too. Because it meant youd see my true colors. That youd hate
me. And yet. And yet you were nice to me. You were even nicer to me after you got to know me. are
those tears real or are those fake? I dont knowI dont even know what I - Ill decide for you then (
grabs her shoulders) Youre my girlfriend Masuzu, stay my girlfriend, Masuzu! And kiss----
What are you doing Masuzu?- Just watching the man who tricket me as he slept. I was thinking about
killing you. Just to be sure, you were lying when you said you loved me, right? You dont really love me
do you?- Of course not, I hate you. Id have broken up with you long ago if I had my notebook back. I=m
the biggest bitch in the world. Im shameless, merciless, and cant control my tongue. Im arrogant,
disrespectful, pathetic, tragic, wretched, and someone who loves you very much. Thats the kind of
woman your girlfriend is. Snuggle- I can hear the waves. When I do this, I feel like Im rotting from the
inside out. But if I am to rot and return to the earth with you, then so be it. I woldnt mind at all. Itll be
fine, you can trust your boyfriend.
Wait isnt B the one you love-Ill chose that later. I bet you thought I couldnt reach you. Were always
together so I bet you didnt notice. I told you so many times. Make sure you listen this time-Eita I love
you. If things could be settled with a simple I love you, we wouldnt need the police. You seem to
be enjoying yourself there, childhood friend. Mind letting me join in on the fun? -take a hint girlfriend.
How about you come back in nine years?
