Durarara!! 8

Pg.01

Kadota: We're Dollars.
Kadota: Ring a bell?

[Thanks to popularity, we present the top page in color!!]
Black: !?
Black: Do-

[Dollars.
A color gang in Ikebukuro that continues to gain power.]

Pg.13

"DRRR!!" so far!
Kishitani: Hello, my name is Kishitani Shinra.
Kishitani: It looks like it's my turn today. I'll explain the storyline.

[Yumasaki and Karisawa tries to torture information out of a gangster by using novels and manga.]
[Dotachin, aka Kadota, appears and we find out that they're actually the colorless color gang called "Dollars".]
[With Kadota's effective threats, they were able to get the gangster to spit out who he was working for: "Yagiri Pharmaceutical Company".]

Kishitani: What exactly is this company and- (Ah!) // Welcome back, Certy! Want to read along with me?
[The story begins on the next page!]

Pg.14

Kadota: I'll leave the rest to you.
Togusa: Fine by me.

Togusa: This is the first time, isn't it? // We haven't done anything of this sort since Dollars came together.

Togusa: Wonder what the boss of Dollars is saying this time?

Kadota: No idea.
Togusa: Huh?

[In the past, us three belonged to a different group.]
[One day, I, being the leader of that group, got an email from Dollars.]

Pg.15

[The contents were simple. It asked us to join "Dollars".]
[All they asked of us was to call ourselves "Dollars". It was an odd invitation.]

[I wasn't particularly interested, but I was swept along by the enthusiasm of the others.]
[At first, I suspected it was a joke,]

[but the next day, my name was up in the list on the Dollar's homepage.]

Togusa: You don't mean to say…
Kadota: Yeah.

Kadota: Unfortunately,
Kadota: I haven't met the leader of Dollars either.

Pg.16

Togusa: (Huh?) Seriously?!
Kadota: Even though it's an established organization, no one knows who the wirepuller is.
[There's only one person who could organize such a strange organization…]

[It's probably…]

Teacher: Um, // the campus clean-up crew are Yamazaki-kun and Nishizaki-san.
SFX: clap
Teacher: The infirmary council are Yagiri-kun and Asakura-san.

Pg.17

Kida: I know!
Kida: Let's go pick up girls.

Kida: Okay?
SFX: pat
Mikado: Why are you here? // You're in class B, aren't you?

Teacher: Next, the disciplinary squad are Kuzuhara-kun and Kanemura-san.

Teacher: (Hm…) The class council member hasn't been decided yet. Anyone up for it?
Kida: Right-
SFX* thunk
Mikado: Stop it!

SFX: raise

Pg.18

Kida: (Why not~? Party-pooper.)
Teacher: Let's see… Sonohara… Anri-san? // Right then, it's been decided.
SFX: clap
Teacher: Good luck.

Sonohara: Um…
Sonohara: Is…

Sonohara: is there a male student who'd like to fill in the other position of Class Council?

Mikado: [C-Class Council…]
Mikado: [It could be fun. But… me?]
SFX: blush

Pg.19

SFX: stare

SFX: baddump

Mikado: [It's not me! She's looking at the seat behind me.]
Mikado: [That's right, the seat behind me…]

Mikado: [belongs to a girl who hasn't come since the opening ceremony.]
SFX: glance
Kida: That girl has fallen for me!!
SFX: boom
Mikado: He's got it wrong too!!

Pg.20

SFX: silence
Sonohara: ….
Kida: (I'm such a cruel man. It looks like that girl is uncertain of the dangerous and risky nights ahead.)
Mikado: [No one's raising their hand…]

Sonohara: Ah, um...

Pg.21

Kida: Ryugamine! // Ryugamine Mikado!
Mikado: Why are you speaking up for me?

Kida: You're an unpredictable guy.

Kida: When we were in elementary school, you'd cry just because people started rumors about you and a friend,

Kida: but now, you've become outgoing enough to chase after lovey-dovey rendezvous chances!
Mikado: By the way, Kida-kun…
Yagiri: I told you, I don't know!
Kida: What was that?
Mikado: !

Pg.22

[It's Sonohara-san.]
Sonohara: Are you sure you don't know?
Yagiri: I told you, she just stopped coming to school.
[Yagiri-kun...]

Mikado: [Why are they…]
Kida: Now, now!

Kida: School's only just started and you're already having a lover's spat?
SFX: bam
Mikado: (Kida-kun?!)

Sonohara: Ah…
Mikado: …..
SFX: dash

Pg.23

Yagiri: Who the heck are you?
SFX: jump
Mikado: Ah!!

Mikado: You're Yagiri-kun, right?
Yagiri: Yeah…?
Mikado: I'm Ryugamine Mikado from the same class! Nice to meet you!!

Yagiri: I know you.
Yagiri: Your name is easy to remember.

Kida: You're pretty tough looking.
SFX: grab
SFX: smack
Midado: Hey, Kida-kun?!

Kida: Alright! Let's go hit on girls!
Mikado/Yagiri: Huh??

Pg.24

Mikado: What are you saying?!
Kida: It's always an advantage to have a tall guy with you when you're hitting on girls.

Kida: If it's just the two of us, your bland looks would take away from me, and it'd be pointless in the end.
Mikado: Hey, that's mean!

Mikado: Then why don't you just invite a classmate, Kida-kun?!
Kida: (Idiot!) If I do, then at least 20 people would tag along!
Mikado: What?! What's with the discrimination?!
Yagiri: Sorry, but...

Yagiri: I have a girlfriend.

Pg.25

Kida: Doesn't matter!
Kida: (All you have to do some talking! It's nothing!)
SFX: smack
MIkado: (Er,) actually, it matters a lot.

Yagiri: I can't. // It'd be betrayal if I did that.

Kida: You're an honest guy. You can't betray your girlfriend, huh?
Mikado: (Of course not!)

Yagiri: No, // it wouldn't be my girlfriend I'd be betraying.

Kida: Huh? Then who?

Pg.26

Yagiri: It'd be love.
Yagiri: It'd be betrayal of my love for her.

Yagiri: Even if I could betray my girlfriend,
Yagiri: I could never betray love!!

Pg.27

Kida: Ah… I see…
Mikado: ….

Kida: Well, good luck, I guess!
SFX: punch
Yagiri: Yeah, thanks!!

Kida: You've got a pretty passionate guy in your class too.
Mikado: Looks like it...

Pg.28

Mikado: It's // not

Mikado: working in the least.

Kida: What're you talking about? The point is to talk to them!
Mikado: I think it's useless to talk to office workers during their lunch break...

Kida: It's only impossible if you say it is! It's only pointless if you say it is! // Understand?
Mikado: I'm gonna go to the 60 Story Street.

Kida: (What?! Are you trying to hit on girls by yourself?! Are you gonna do a "Oil Hell Murder*"?!)
{TLN: An old Japanese story called, "Onna Goroshi Abura no Jigoku".}

Mikado: (What the heck?)

Mikado: [I got lost on the way, but I finally made it!]
SFX: clatter

Pg.29

Mikado: There sure are a lot of Raira Gakuen students here.
Mikado: Kinda like a color gang!

Mikado: Huh?

Mikado: [It's Sonohara-san!]

Mikado: Sonohara-sa…

Girl1: How can you be so aloof when Harima Mika has gone missing?
Girl2: I heard you're in the Class Council now. // Quit acting like an honor student.

Mikado: What…?

Pg.30

Girl3: Say something!
Girl2: You were always tagging around Mika in middle school, weren't you?
Mikado: [Ugh, she's being bullied… // This is really cliche.]

Mikado: As a member of the class council, I should probably help her out.
Mikado: But how…?

Mikado: (Ah!) I know! I'll just go up to her smiling, as if I hadn't noticed the bullying! // That's it!
SFX: clench

Mikado: And if something happens, then so be it!!
SFX: tap
Izaya: Good for you.

Pg.31

Izaya: You're // thinking about stopping the bullies?

Mikado: Eh?
SFX: grab
Mikado: Huh?!

Mikado: Heyheyhey-

Mikado: Wait… // a sec…
SFX: yank
Mikado: Ehhhh?!
SFX: push

Pg.32

Mikado: Oof…

Mikado: Erm… // Hey- // What a coincidence, Sonohara-san!!

Girl3: (Wh…) Who are you?!
Mikado: Huh?

Izaya: Now, now. Bullying is never a good idea.

Pg.33

Izaya: It's the wrong thing to do.

Girl3: What's it got to do with a geezer like you?
SFX: Haha!
Girl2: Who is this guy? He cracks me up!!
Izaya: Exactly! // It's got nothing to do with me.

Izaya: Which is why I couldn't care less if you get killed here.
Izaya: Whether I punch you, or stab you, or even if you decide to call a 23 year old man a 'geezer',
Izaya: our relationship, or lack there of, won't change.
izaya: All humans are connected, and yet at the same time, have no relation with each other.
Girl3: Huh?
Izaya: Hey.

Pg.35

Izaya: Humans are so determined, don't you think?
SFX: slip
Girl3: Eh?

Girl3: My bag!!
Izaya: (Well,) I don't particularly find enjoyment in punching girls though.

SFX: whirl

Pg.35

Izaya: Which is why…

Izaya: I think I'll make stomping on girls' cell phones my new hobby.
SFX: jangle

Girl3: Give it back!

SFX: slam
Girl3: What are you doing?!

SFX: snap

Pg.36

Girl3: Aghhhhh~!!

SFX: crush

SFX; lift

SFX: crush
Izaya: Aha… Ahahahahahaha!!

Pg.37

Izaya: Hahaha!!
SFX: stomp x5
Izaya: Hahahahahaha!!

Pg.38

Izaya: Hahahaha!!
Girl2: C…Crap. This guy has got to be mental!
Girl1: (R…) Run!!

Izaya: Haa~~~~…

Izaya: I'm bored.
Izaya: I think I'll stop making cell phone crushing a hobby.

Izaya: It's sure brave of you, trying to stop the bullying.
SFX: turn
Mikado: Eh-
SFX: jump

Sonohara: !
Mikado: Ah- // No, it's just that...

Pg.39

Izaya: Ryugamine Mikado-kun.

Izaya: It's not a coincidence
Izaya: that I met you.

Izaya: I've been looking for you.

Pg.40

Mikado: Um… // What do you mean...?

SFX: slam

Pg.41

SFX: crash

SFX: startle

Mikado: O… Orihara-san!!

Mikado: [A… trash bin?!!]
Mikado: [Why did a trash bin come flying?!]

Mikado: Are you alright, Orihara-san?!

Pg.42

Shizuo: I--za--ya--kuuuuuun.
SFX: step

Shizuo: Didn't I tell you not to show your face in Ikebukuro ever again?
Shizuo: Izaya-kun.

Pg.43

[Who is this man who suddenly appears before them, dressed as a bartender?!]

Izaya: Tch.

Izaya: Shizu-chan…
SFX: glare
