1 Wa!!

Pg.08

[The thing is, I'm moving to Ikebukuro tomorrow.]
[Setton: Really? Congrats. Are you gonna live alone?]
[Tanaka Taro: Yes. What's something I should check out in Ikebukuro?]
[Setton: That's a vast question. (^_^;)]
[-Kanra-san has entered the chatroom-]

Pg.09

[Kanra: No question it'd be "Dollars" as of late.]
[Setton: Heya.]
[Tanaka Taro: Evening, Kanra-san.]
[Setton: By "Dollars", do you mean the team I hear rumors of lately? I haven't seen them myself.]
[Kanra: From what I've heard, they keep a low profile underground, but the rumors about them are spreading like wildfire online!]
[Tanaka Taro: Oh really? You seem to be very familiar with Ikebukuro, Kanra-san.]

[Kanra: Not really! Oh, but there is this one old legend-]
[Setton: Oh, I know which one that is. I wouldn't call it a legend though.]
[Tanaka Taro: Sorry, I'm kinda lost.]
[Kanra: You really haven't heard of it, Tanaka Taro-san?]
[Tanaka Taro: ??]
[The story about the black bike, of course.]

Pg.10

<sign> Tobu Tojo Line (Central Exit)
Mikado: Ack!

Mikado: S- // Sorry...
SFX: bump
Mikado: (Ack,) // Sor-

SFX: thud
Mikado: -ry!

SFX: chatter x2
Mikado: [I wanna go home...]
SFX: sigh

[Tokyo-to, Toshima-ku, Ikebukuro. My first time in Tokyo.]
[I, Ryugamine Mikado, will start attending a private school in Ikebukuro, thanks to an invitation from a friend.]

[I told myself that new and exciting things would happen once I left my home of 15 years.]
[Which is why I even went against my parents and brought myself here.]

SFX: alone
[However...]

Mikado: Did I make a huge mistake...?
SFX: Ahhhhh...
Kida: (Hey,) Mikado!

Pg.11

Kida: Heya.
Mikado: Wow, Ki...

Mikado: Kida...kun?
Kida: What's with the doubt?
SFX bubble: flick
Kida: Then here, I'll give you 3 choices. // ① Kida Masaomi ② Kida Masaomi // ③ Kida Masaomi!!
SFX: jab

Mikado: (Woah!!) Kida-kun! Is it really you, Kida-kun?! // You've changed so much that I could hardly recognize you!
SFX: glee
Kida: [My perfected joke just went in one ear and out the other...]

Kida: Hey, long time! It's been what, 4 years?
Mikado: We chatted yesterday, you know.

Kida: Anyway, let's get outside. // Go west♪

Kida: Which is merely an act, when I'm actually being tricky and leading you toward the Seibu exit and not the west exit!!
SFX: stride x3

Mikado: ?
SFX: flush
Kida: (Ah, forget it.) See, in Ikebukuro, the Tobu Department Store is at the west exit and the Seibu Department Store is at the east exit... // It's a joke...
{TLN: Tobu is written "east" and Seibu is written "west"}

Mikado: Your jokes are just as lame as in the chats!! // You really /are/ Kida-kun!
SFX: happy
SFX: grip
Kida: You do realize that was a insult, right...?

Pg.12

Mikado: I had no idea your voice became so low and that you dyed your hair.
[This guy is Kida Masaomi. A friend from Elementary School.]

Kida: Yeah, I aged over the years and became sepia colored. So come, follow this adult.
[And yet, we've been chatting online everyday.]
Mikado: Yeah. // That joke's lame too.

[My biggest reason for applying for a school in Tokyo has to be Kida-kun's invitation.]
SFX: slap x3
Kida: Unlike you who's hardly changed! (This face!!)
Mikado: (Oww!) Knock it off!

Kida: (And?) How about it?

Kida: Is there anywhere you wanna go?

Mikado: Um, since we're in Ikebukuro, // how about Sunshine?
Kida: You mean, now?
Mikado: Eh?
Kida: With me?

Mikado: Y-Yeah...
Kida: I don't mind but... // Sunshine is a place with aquariums and Nanja Town and amusement parks and stuff.
Mikado: Yeah? // ...?
Kida: (sigh) My point is-

Kida: you should take you girlfriend there, instead.

Pg.13

[Warning, warning. A warning to myself.]

SFX: stride x3
SFX: step x3

[I'm currently being followed by a stalker.]

SFX: clench

Girl: Ah-
SFX: dash

Girl: Wait! // Please wait, Seiji-san!!
[Caution, caution. Caution to myself a week ago.]
Girl: The thing is, I...

Girl: I've had a crush on your for a long time, Seiji-kun☆
[Apparently, I've involved myself with a maniac.]

Girl: 3 months ago... Do you remember?! We met at exams! // I was sitting next to you, Seiji-san! The person on my right had an unusual surname, so I wanted to see the name of the person on my left, and it was love at first sight! (Kya!) // That's how I remembered your name, but I didn't have the courage to speak up. We met a second time and you saved me, so I thought, "Ah, this must be destiny!"

[It's true that I saved a couple of girls from a shady guy last week.]

[But that's all I did.]

Pg.14

[To think that]
Girl: That's why I investigated you, // Yagiri Seiji-san!! // I know your birthday,
Girl: and about your family too!!
[it'd been a girl like her.]

Girl: Born 3,445 grams on June 13th at Raira Hospital, with blood-type AB! // You currently live in an apartment in East Ikebukuro with your sister, who's name is...
[Alarm, alarm. Sound the alarm to the present day society.]

Girl: And you'll be going to the same school as me starting tomorrow!! // Right, Seiji-san?!
SFX: yak yak
[This woman is twisted.]

[Why did I have to bump into her today, of all days?]
SFX: lunge

SFX: bam

SFX: Owww
Mikado: S- // Sorr...

SFX: swish
MIkado: !!

Pg.15

SFX: snatch

SFX: dash
Girl: Wait for me, Seiji-san!

Mikado: ......

Mikado: (H-Hey!!) Don't tell me he's an Ikebukuronian? One of the Color Gang?!
SFX: scary... x2

Kida: Huh?

Kida: Hardly. You're sure as cowardly as always.
Mikado: I thought he might be from that yellow team that hangs around West Gate Park.

Kida: .....

Kida: You don't see those kind around here much, lately. // Loads of people bailed out after a fight.
Kida: Since then, the police are hot on the trails of anyone who wears yellow clothing.

Kida: And stop calling it "West Gate Park". It's "Nishiguchi Park".
{TLN: 'Nishiguchi' is 'west gate' in Japanese.}

Mikado: Then is Ikebukuro safe nowadays?

Kida: I'm not to familiar with it all myself, so I can't say for sure,
Kida: but there are other dangerous things besides gangs and crazy bikers.
Kida: Besides,

Pg.16

Kida: there are a few people amongst the normal crowd that you should avoid at all costs.

Mikado: You mean...
Kida: Ah! Mikado-

Kida: This is 60 Story Street.
SFX: clamor x3
Mikado: Wow, there are so many people here too.

Kida: There's another street called Sunshine Street, which I'll take you to later.

Kida: Seems like you don't have anywhere in particular that you wanna go so...
SFX: grab!

Kida: Let's hit on girls!
Mikado: Ehhh, Kida-kun?!

Kida: Hey, waitwaitwait! Why're you running away?
SFX: step x10
Mikado: Don't ruin our reunion after 4 long years.

Kida: I just thought I'd show you Sunshine Cinema and stuff, since we're on 60 Story Street.
Mikado: But-

Kida: It's odd that I didn't see Simon or Shizuo though.
Kida: I bet Yumasaki-san and Karisawa-san are at the game center.

Pg.17
{top panel stretches across two pages}
Mikado: Who's that?
Kida: Ah~

Yumasaki: Nowhere to be found.
[Yumasaki-san and Karisawa-san are my acquaintances, though they are a bit peculiar.]
Karisawa: That's weird. We searched Ikebukuro and didn't find them, which means-
[And there's another guy named Kadoda.]
Kadoda: There's only one possibility.
Yumasaki/Karisawa: Fuzetsu.
{TLN: Fuzetsu is a field separating a region from time and space.}
Karisawa: (Or else they got kidnapped by a circus.)
Kadoda: Be serious here!
[They're good people, so I'll introduce you next time.]

(Hey dude, you there.)
[I told you there are people you should steer clear of, right? Well Simon and Shizuo are two of those.]
(It's tasty-)
[Simon's pretty mild, but the problem is Heiwajima Shizuo.]
Guy: Over here, Shizuo.
Shizuo: 'kay.
[If you ever come across them, don't hesitate to run away.]

Pg.18

Mikado: (Oh... I see...) Are there still others that I should be wary of?

Kida: Ah, that's right. I guess you're now a resident of Ikebukuro.
Kida: It's better if you know.

Kida: First off, there's me!!
Mikado: √3 points.
SFX: jab

Kida: √ (Root) ?! // What'd you mean by √?! Doesn't even make any sense!
SFX: sigh
SFX: shock!!
Kida: (Hey!! You're trying to turn against me!!)

Kida: Orihara Izaya.

[There's one other person called Orihara Izaya.]
[This guys pretty bad, so you'd better avoid him at all costs.]

Kida: Oh, and there's-

Kida: Dollars.

Pg.19

Mikado: What kind of team is that?!
Kida: Eh?!
SFX: eager
Kida: Well, er...

Kida: I dunno, to be honest.

Kida: But one things for sure, which is that they're many, and that they're a color gang of an unknown color.
Kida: Maybe they've already disbanded though.

Mikado: I see...

[I wonder what I was expecting.]
[I'd thought that the urban city held all the answers.]
[That strange things would come along even for someone like me. ]

[But it'd been a mistake.]

[Unlike Kida-san, I don't know how to draw people in, or amaze them.]

[This kind of place isn't for me.]

Mikado: I guess that's a bit of an exaggeration.

Kida: What're you doing, Mikado! // The light's will turn red!
Mikado: Oh, sorry!

Mikado: I'm-

Pg.20

Mikado: -coming...
SFX: vroom

Pg.22

SFX: slump
SFX: step x2
Kida: Mikado, are you okay?

Mikado: K...K-K-Kida-kun!!
SFX: clap
Kida: You're lucky.

Mikado: Huh?

Kida: You got to see the legend up close on your very first day in Tokyo.

Kida: Maybe this town is welcoming you with open arms.

Mikado: Kida-kun... // That just now...

Orihara: Hahahaha, // I came to see what the big noise was,
Orihara: and what do I find?

Pg.23

Yumasaki: Is it the manifestation of Guze no Ou {the King of the Crimson Denizen}?

Orihara: It's the black bike.

Pg.24

[Tanaka Taro: Hey, guess what?! I saw the infamous black bike today!]
[Setton: Really? Was it around 7 o'clock?]
[Tanaka Taro: Eh? Did you see it too, Setton?]
[Setton: Yeah, sort of. I was there too so.]
[Tanaka Taro: Really?! Wow, then maybe we passed by each other without knowing!]
[Setton: Maybe.]

[-Kanra-san has entered the chatroom-]
[Kanra: Good evening☆ I saw the log. And? What happened with the black bike?]
[Tanaka Taro: Good evening. It was really black! I mean, I kind got goosebumps when I saw it.]
[Setton: That's an over-exaggeration~]
[Tanaka Taro: It was more like a shadow, rather than black.]
[Kanra: You're a scaredy-cat, aren't you, Tanaka Taro-san☆]

Pg.25

[Scared?]

[No... That feeling I got was different.]

[It was the first time something so unusual happened to someone as ordinary as me.]
[Shivers ran through my body when I saw it.]
[That's right, what I felt from the bottom of my heart back there]

[was excitement...]
