Durarara!! 7

Pg.09

Kida: Heya! Everyone's idol, Kida Masaomi here.
SFX: (bishi) salute
Kida: Here's the storyline for you!
Left box: On "Durarara!!" so far?
[Certy Sturluson, the rider of the black bike, turned out to be the legendary "Durahan".]
[People call her a headless rider, but in truth, she's actually lost her head, and came to Ikebukuro in search of it.]
Kida: And it seems as though she's has feelings for Kishitani Shinra, the Black Market doctor whom she currently resides with.
SFX: Heh heh
Kida: Could this be the beginning of a twisted romance?!
Kida: Read on!!
Mikado: (What's up, Kida-kun?)
Lower right: The story resumes on the next page!!

Pg.10

[Tanaka Taro is his usual self in the chatroom.]

[Tanaka Taro: Do you know of Dollars, Setton-san?]
[Setton: Yes, I've heard of them… Haven't we talked about this before?]
[Tanaka Taro: Ah, I guess. Sorry about that.]
[Setton: I've never seen them before, but I wonder if they really exist?]
[Tanaka Taro: Are you saying it's just an online rumor?]
[Setton: I don't know, but even if they are real, I highly doubt normal people would run into them.]

Pg.11

[-Kanra-san has entered the chatroom-]
[Kanra: Are you talking about Dollars? They say it really exists. There's even an official homepage, but you need an ID and password to view it.
[Setton: Well, I don't intend to see it, so it's fine.]
[Tanaka Taro: You really know so much, Kanra-san.]
[Kanra: That's all I'm useful for, really.]
[Tanaka Taro: Oh, then please tell me about this Dotachin person you mentioned before.]

Pg.12

SFX: (go) thud

Pg.13

Togusa: Spit it out.

SFX: (gui) yank

Togusa: Who do you work for? // Better answer if you know what's good for you.

Black: I told you, I don't know!
SFX: (fura) sway

SFX: (ga) punch

Pg.14

Togusa: I'll ask again. Who do you work for?
SFX: (botata) drip drip

[How many hours has he been at this…?]
Black: Please, cut me some slack…

[I have no idea who this guy is, but it looks like that "shadow" isn't here.]

[What was that thing?]

[If that "shadow" had been here, it might have been bad.]
[I probably would've blabbed about everything]

Pg.15

[I don't even know if this guy has anything to do with that "shadow".]
SFX: (poki) crack
Togusa: Geez…

SFX: (go) bash

[As long as I keep taking his punches,]
Togusa: (Ah, that one hurt.)
SFX: (dosa) thud
[he'll eventually assume that I've got nothing to tell.]


[I doubt he'd be rash enough to kill me here.]
[It's even scarier to think of being dealt with by the higher ups.]

Pg.16

Togusa: Hey… Will you just hurry up and talk already?!

Togusa: Just like you, we've got higher ups too, you know?

Togusa: Those people // are bothered by the situation.
Togusa: They're saying you guys haven't been contacting our higher ups.

[D…Dammit.]
[Weren't we supposed to have had an agreement about the location of the job, with the gang on this island?!]
Togusa: Tell me,

Togusa: the fact that you haven't even told me your name doesn't make you a mobster, does it?
SFX: (ga) grab

Pg.17

Togusa: If you are a mobster, then you'd better ring up your boss and discuss things.
Togusa: Settlement with us is a totally different story.

Togusa: And if you don't agree, // then I'll just take it that you lot aren't up to it.

Togusa: Hey, I'm trying to be nice here.
SFX: (pon) pat
Togusa: Being honest won't do you harm-

SFX: (ba) yank
Karisawa: Sorry to keep you waiting!

Pg.18

Yumasaki Geez, it sure is hot today!
Karisawa: So, have you got him to talk yet, Togusa-san?

Karisawa: We were out looking for stuff, and it took us longer than we expected.
Yumasaki: But we found what we needed!
Black: ? // ?
Togusa: ……

SFX: sigh

Pg.19

Togusa: Time's up.
Togusa: Too bad for you.

Black: ….?

Togusa: He's a pretty stubborn one.
Togusa: I'll leave the rest up to you guys.

Togusa: Aghhh.

Togusa: Poor guy.

Pg.20

Karisawa: Now then.
SFX: turn
Yumasaki: Now then.

Karisawa: You sure did a lot of stupid things.
SFX: slap
Karisawa: You just had to go and kidnap Kazutano-san, of all people.

Black: Kazutano?
[Who's that? Where've I heard that name…]

Black: [He's the illegal immigrant we kidnapped yesterday.]
Black: [So these people are cronies-]

Black: [Wait, how are they connected?]
SFX: (don) bam

Pg.21

Yumasaki: Anyway,
SFX: (jiji) unzip
Yumasaki: since you still haven't talked, // we've prepared a few things for you.
SFX: (ba) heave
Togusa: …..

SFX: (basa) shake
Black: !?
Yumasaki: We'll get you started, // but first, pick out a book.
Black: Eh?

Pg.22

Yumasaki: Behold! GanGan IXA Battle!

Yumasaki: Dengeki* to you! {TLN: Meaning both Dengeki Bunko and the literal meaning, 'electroshock'.}
Karisawa: (Samurai Hearts!)
SFX: snap

Yumasaki: So basically, we're gonna give you mental torture about the contents of those books.
SFX: thud

Pg.23

Yumasaki: As well as // in celebration of a hundred million copes of Dengeki Bunko sold!!

Black: Huh?
Black: Mental torture?

Black: Haha… hahaha.
Black: With these manga books?

Pg.24

Black: What the hell? This isn't some brat's penalty game!!
Yumasaki: Nuh-uh.
SFX: push
Yumasaki: If you don't choose,

Yumasaki: I'll kill you.
SFX: (gichi) grip
SFX: (biku) flinch

Pg.25

Black: H-Hey, wait!
Black: I'll choose, I'll choose!

Black: [Dammit! Why do I have to go through this?!]
Black [What happened to Gassan?]

Black: [Agh! I have no idea what to pick!]
Black: [But…]

[I'd better stay away from "Club-to-Death Angel Dokuro-chan". // Who know's what they'll do to me?]

[And this one… // Damn, it doesn't look like a safe choice either. I'm lost here…!!]

Pg.26

Karisawa: My recommendation is Darker Than Black!!
Yumasaki: That's a great choice!

Yumasaki: Harvest?
Karisawa: I've got the sulfuric acid!! Ah, but did we bring something round?

Yumsasaki: Hei's preparations are good to go!
SFX: flourish
Karisawa: Nice one, Yumacchi!

Black: ? // ?

Black: Wh-What the hell are they talking about?
Karisawa: (Or we could poke a whole in the nape of his neck!)
Yumasaki: (A direct access without the neuro linker!!)
Togusa: Heeeey.

Pg.27

Karisawa: Yes? What's up, Togusa-san?
Togusa: I've got a word for the both of you.
Togusa: Don't use gasoline in the car like last time.
Black: Gas…!!?

Karisawa: Eh, you're such a party pooper, Togusa-san.
SFX: droop
Yumasaki: (Then Innocentius is a no-go too.)
SFX: droop
SFX: sweat

[No matter what the contents are. I bet these people will manage to think of something insane.]
[But I have to pick something…]
SFX: gloomy

Black: Then how about the one on the left…?

Pg.28

Karisawa: It's been decided!
SFX: turn
SFX: rummage
Yumasaki: You sure have guts…

Yumasaki: To choose something like this.
SFX: squeak

Black: !?
SFX: grab
Black: Wh-What? What're you gonna do with that?!

Pg.29

Yumasaki: Why, young master, this is a solder.
SFX: chuckle
SFX: sizzle
Yumasaki: Not Handa Ryu from "Oinari-sama", of course.

Black: Owwww!!
SFX: stretch
Black: You're not serious-

Yumasaki: It's time to seal the contract.
Yumasaki: Now, call the name of the mastermind.

Black: Wait! Wait! You gotta be kidding me!!
Karisawa: Yumacchi, remember, the star in the seal is a backward pentacle.
Yumasaki: Yes, my lord.
Black: H-Hey…!!

Pg.30

Yumasaki: Good kids shouldn't copy what we're doing. Or at least, that's what you'd normally say.
Black: Hey…
Karisawa: Like the ones that commit murders from the influence of mangas?
Black: Wait…
SFX: haa

Yumasaki: No, no.
Yumasaki: Mangas and novels aren't to blame. // Neither are movies, games, parents, or school.
SFX: ha
SFX: haa
SFX: ha
SFX: ha
Yumasaki: In other words,
SFX: haa

Pg.31

Yumasaki: it's us that are twisted.

Yumasaki: If there weren't any mangas or novels, we'd use period dramas instead.
SFX: ha // haa
Black: St.. // Stop…
Yumasaki: And if that didn't exist, we'd use educational textbooks.

Yumasaki: "There's no way our kid is that smart!" // Is that what you think, we'd ask.
SFX: Arghhh!!

Pg.32

Kadota: Hey, cut it ou.

Karisawa: Dotachin!
Yumasaki: K-Kadota-san!
Kadota: Is that what you call mental torture?

Pg.33

Kadota: Don't get the books bloodied, idiot!
Yumasaki: S-Sorry…
SFX: stack

SFX: yank
Kadota: And…
Black: !!

SFX: gasp
Kadota: Your little friends all 'fessed up.

SFX: ha
SFX: haa
SFX: ha

Black: (haa) Eh…? // Eh?!

Pg.34

Black: [They betrayed me?!]
SFX: jerk
Black: [Who? Gassan? No way…]

Black: [What the hell's going on?! // This'll b the end of us!!]
Kadota: Only half of them have 'fessed up,

Kadota: but it's only a matter of time.

Kadota: Which means, we've got no use for you anymore.
Black: !

Black: No use for me?! // That means I'll be freed…
SFX: look up

Pg.35

SFX: loom
Kadota: You'll be able to die in peace.

Black: W…
Black: Wait!

Black: Wait! // (No!) Please wait!!
SFX: jerk

Black: I beg of you!
SFX: thunk
Black: Please! // Please don't kill me!!

Pg.36

Black: I'll tell you everything the others haven't!
Black: I'll tell you anything! Anyyyythiiiiiiiing!

SFX: tap
Kadota: I see.

Pg.37

Kadota: So basically, despite all this, you lot are businessmen? (For the most part?)
SFX: nod
Black: Yes. (For the most part.)

SFX: slump
Black: We work as handymen under a small dispatching company,
Black: but that's only a front, really.

Black: On the inside, that dispatching company belongs exclusively to another company.
Kadota: That other company being?

Black: Well… // Erm...

Black: Yagiri Pharmaceutical Company.

Pg.38

Kadota: Yagiri Pharmaceutical Company?
Kadota: [That's the company that's been on the wane lately.]

Kadota: So a major company is kidnapping people and using them as test subjects?
SFX: hahaha
Kadota: What kind of shady story is that?

Black: I-It's true!
Karisawa: (No way...)
Yumasaki: (To use as rock ingredients…?)
Kadota: Ah, I get it. I get it.

Kadota: I doubt he'd tell lies at a time like this.
Kadota: And I have been hearing odd rumors about Yagiri Pharmaceutical Company.

Pg.39

Kadota: Well, either way, // we'll let you off about now.

Black: Ah! // Hey...

Black: Who… // are you guys...?

Kadota: ? // Us?
Kadota: ….

Kadota: Haven't heard of us before?

Pg.40

side bar: The rumored team "Dollars" actually does exist!!]
Kadota: Dollars.
Kadota: That's us.
