Search Worlds Without End

New York, 1931. The manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages is prohibited by law, but behind this prohibition, organized crime flourishes-so, too, do bank robbers, bootleggers, assassins, and homunculi. Some want money, some are chasing the secret to immortality, and others just want to have a really good time. You know what they say, though: You can't always get what you want.

A bright young bookeeper named Firo Prochainezo earns his place in an ancient organization. The flamboyant thieves Isaac Dian and Miria Harvent arrive in Grand Central Station with even grander plans. The Gandor mafioso brothers find themselves confronted with a problem. And small-time thug Dallas Genoard makes a very big mistake.

When the elixir of immortality hits Prohibition-era New York City, not even an undying amoral mastermind can control the chaos that follows. Turns out fortune favors the flat-out crazy!

The place: America. The year: 1931. The setting: the transcontinental express train known as the "Flying Pussyfoot." Aboard the train are a gang aiming to make some extra cash, a group of revolutionary terrorists trying to recapture their leader, and a pair of thieves looking to meet up with an old friend in New York City. But drunk on the excitement of their departure, none of them are prepared for what awaits them on the rails...

The year is 1931. A boy boards a train to visit his friend in New York. A woman in a jumpsuit boards a train to meet her employer in New York. And the conductor? He boards because it's his job. If it had been any other day, they all would have gotten where they were going just fine. But it's not any other day. The Rail Tracer is on the hunt. The gonzo tale of gangsters, immortals, and outrageous luck (both bad and good) speeds into its third volume!

The year 1932. The alchemist Begg believed the drugs he created would guide people to the highest plane of existence. Drugs from which the junkie Roy can't break free. Drugs which the Runorata Family executive lost to a thief. And where were those packets of white powder manufactured? The young girl Eve is about to discover her family's true colors. Trouble stirs in the city that never sleeps as fate links them together like a chain of falling dominos...

The immortal Elmer C. Albatross is a Smile Junkie who'll do whatever it takes for his happy ending--despite not knowing the first thing about happiness. Three hundred years after the passengers of the Advena Avis parted ways, four of them have finally tracked Elmer to a village in Northern Europe where the inhabitants seem to be stuck in their old ways, fearing the visitors as "demons." During their stay, the immortals encounter a strange girl, and their past catches up with them...

The year 1933.

A storm's brewing in New York City as tensions among the families rise. When Jacuzzi Splot and his gang is seen operating on the Gandor Family's turf, Luck Gandor employs a young woman named Maria to protect their family's "negotiator," Tick Jefferson. Maria with her katana and Tick with his scissors--they're a well-suited duo, and they both love to cut people. However, their violence only spawns more violence. Meanwhile by the Hudson River, an immortals' group named Larva finds a new person to add to their ranks. The events from the last three years are about to catch up with a particular immortal from the Martillo Family...

Tim is a man who discarded his past but could never forget his brother. Dallas is just a thug, but he always wanted to protect his sister. A mysterious person named "Vino" is the absolute worst killer, yet he's always loved his fiancee. Will the sun peek out from behind the clouds once the bloody rain stops?

The year: 1934.

After the incident at the Mist Wall, the Martillo Family's youngest capo finds himself on his way to prison to protect the one he loves. The rest are there for their own reasons -- the homicidal maniac wants to taste the thrill of killing an immortal, the thief simply got himself caught, the hitman is there on a mission for Nebula, and the alchemist was incarcerated years ago. As the FBI attempts to get to the bottom of Huey's machinations, another ruckus is about erupt across the San Francisco Bay -- deep in the heart of Alcatraz.

The year 1934.

All kinds of strange people are gathering in Chicago-the newspaper's vice-president and young camerawoman, a bizarre group moving on Huey's orders, a wrecker with ties to the Russos, a researcher who works for a certain company there, and even a "vampire" and his friend. Things are gearing up for another great commotion in the Windy City...

THE YEAR 1934. In the depths of Alcatraz, Firo, Ladd, Leeza, and the others involved in the underground brawl attempt to figure out their next moves. Meanwhile, in Chicago, as Isaac and Miria try to find each other, the aftermath of what happened at the Russo mansion is affecting the entire city. As the connections between the two locations become clear, the chaos comes to a head in this explosive and heartfelt conclusion to the commotion of 1934!

The year 1705, in a town on the coast of Italy. All 15-year-old Huey Laforet feels towards his life is tedium and despair, and he dreams of the day when he can destroy the world he despises. Meanwhile, there are rumors of a strange string of murders performed by a figure in a white mask-and whoever witnesses the killing is doomed to be the next target. As the serial killer shakes the town of Lotto Valentino, Huey's life is about to change, too...

The year 2002. Firo and Ennis are finally on their very belated honeymoon-and for some reason, Czes has been invited to join them on the cruise to Japan. The ship is as luxurious as they come, even crossing paths with its sister ship in the middle of the Pacific Ocean in a one-of-a-kind event. But with movie stars, stuntmen, hijackers, stowaways, and gunslingers aboard, the voyage is looking to be anything but peaceful...

The year 2002. The luxury cruise ship Entrance has been hijacked-and its sister ship, Exit, isn't faring much better, with another attack from the Mask Makers, a fanatical cult, and more immortals caught in the fray. The two ships race across the Pacific on a collision course with each other-what will happen when they meet? And is all the fear and chaos really just an unhappy coincidence...?

The year 1931. The Flying Pussyfoot incident may have ended, but just because the survivors have arrived in New York doesn't mean their story is over, and the big city has a way of bringing people back together in ways they'd never expect...

It began in the year 1707, when Maiza introduced playwright Jean-Pierre to an alchemist named Fermet. Two years later, Huey finds himself opening his heart to Elmer and Monica more than he ever expected with his troubled past, but Jean-Pierre's new play only invites trouble, and darkness falls over the trio...

The year 1932. Legend tells of a murderer who sent fear throughout New York city that rainy summer-Icepick Thompson. While the rumors spread through the Daily Days, police suspicion turns on Graham Specter and his band of ne'er-do-wells. Meanwhile, Elmer is quickly swept up in the incident during a visit to New York, and the Gandors can't avoid involvement after one of their associates is killed...

The year 1711. The momentous voyage of the Advena Avis to the New World is near, and each passenger is boarding for their own reasons. Whether driven by determination, ambition, curiosity, or simply someone more powerful, the alchemists and pioneers are not motivated by anything so simple as fate. And at the center of the storm is Huey Laforet...

Huey Laforet has broken out of prison, and New York is in chaos. The whirlwind of confusion swallows all the major players in the city, from the FBI unit investigating the immortals, to the Mafia, to the Camorra, to Ladd Russo and his gang, and even the Flying Pussyfoot. All roads lead to a dramatic confrontation at a single casino, but just who is the man pulling the strings? The last ruckus of the 1930s begins...

Following Huey Laforet's escape from prison, New York city plunges into turmoil--especially at Firo's casino. But things take a turn for the unexpected when a suspicious figure from the Runorata Family shows up at the establishment...

Meanwhile, the alchemists begin to set their own agenda into motion. Why are they converging on New York? Where will Nader's path take him next? And what does the assassin Vino have to do with all this?

As the Flying Pussyfoot races toward New York City with a shocking incident on board, a brand-new ruckus plays out in the background. In a riverside forest at the break of dawn, a variety of individuals with vastly different agendas lie in wait for the train to cross a nearby bridge. The Lemures are on standby for a call from someone inside the Flying Pussyfoot; Jacuzzi's friends try to pick up the cargo; an all-girl gang of bandits scheme to rob another train; a boy resolves to run away from home... At first glance, these events seem unconnected. However, as though beckoned by the train and forest, they will come together in a riot for the ages.

THE CASINO PARTY is finally underway, and everyone involved in the Flying Pussyfoot and Mist Wall incidents has gathered at the new Ra's Lance hotel. Is there a shadowy figure pulling the strings behind the scenes, or is it fate? Meanwhile, the Runorata Family's dealer, Melvi, has been wreaking havoc on the Martillo Family. Fueled by anger and determination, Firo heads to the casino amid the confusion... And so the gamble begins!

The casino party has finally started, and the first day has ended peacefully enough. But there are many fates still to be decided: Melvi, the dealer working with the Runoratas and holding Ennis hostage; Firo, leading the Martillo Family at the party and preparing for Melvi's challenge; the Gandor brothers, who are worried about Firo and watching their own backs; Ladd, working alongside the Gandors; Chane, waiting for the chance to fight Ladd again; Nader, fleeing from Chane. As the storm continues to build, what chaos will erupt next...?

The Ikebukuro district in Tokyo is full of interesting people. A boy longing for the extraordinary. A hotheaded punk. An airheaded pseudo stalker. An information broker who works for kicks. An underground doctor who specializes in truly desperate patients. A high school student infatuated with a monster. And a headless rider on a pitch-black motorcycle. Their story may not be a heartwarming one, but as it turns out, even weirdos like these sometimes fall in love.

Ikebukuro, Tokyo. A place where the clumsy and inept at love gather. A high school girl worried about her status. A third-rate magazine reporter covering the Ikebukuro beat. A teacher suspected of sexual harassment. A thug wearing a yellow bandanna, who is said to be toughest around. A young man who deals in all manner of sensitive information. And a headless rider on a coal-black motorcycle. As these individuals and more are drawn into a whirl of unlucky incidents, Ikebukuro itself will begin to crumble...!

"Could you kill someone? Working as an information broker in Shinjuku, just toying with all those people... But could you, Izaya Orihara, kill someone? Directly, by your own hand? Not stabbing someone with your knife just right to keep them from dying while you keep dodging the question, I mean. Well, whatever... In the end, you're the kind of guy who uses other people to do your dirty work. You're hilariously cowardly."

Tokyo, Ikebukuro. Loads of baggage from the past are starting to turn up: A boss trying to escape the past. A pair of high school girls with consciences. A boy unaware of his friend's feelings for him. A man planning a takeover. A boy who uses information to manipulate others. And a headless rider on a pitch-black motorcycle--all headed on a collision course that will decide who will overcome their past and who will become nothing more than a memory...

"Do you enjoy being the Black Rider who's been spotted all over Ikebukuro over the past few years now? Why is it that you're riding such a dangerous bike all over the place? Are you aware that you're violating the law?!"

Ikebukuro, Tokyo. A place full of fires waiting to be lit and plenty of people ready to light a match: Twins who are the perfect opposite of each other. An idol who's nothing like her older brother. A girl with a crush on her senior in the Dollars. And a headless rider with a bounty on her...uh, head. Keeping the peace is probably not gonna happen.

Ikebukuro, Tokyo. All kinds of people are showing up to settle their scores with Izaya Orihara the information broker. A pair of foreigners who specialize in odd jobs. A runaway girl still looking for her Shizuo. A fellow dressed like a bartender who looks like he's had better days. A womanizer set on getting his revenge against the Dollars. An underground doctor waiting for someone to come home. A class representative with a clueless classmate pal and a target on his back. And a headless rider who can't help getting sucked into trouble. Question is, is this spring break something special, or is this just business as usual in Ikebukuro?

After being framed by Izaya and forced to become fugitive on the run, Shizuo. Forced to rethink his position and circumstances, Mikado. Only now realizing the predicaments of his friends, Masaomi. Unaware of everything going on as she flees her house, Anri. Events going far beyond anything she could have imagined, Akane. Unable to conceal her excitement at coming into contact with the Black Rider, a girl. Continuing to wait anxiously at home, Shinra. Scheming so everything goes his way, Aoba. Working towards enacting his revenge on the Dollars, Chikage. And lastly, the person who will save the Headless Rider is--Ikebukuro is warping again today in the next installment of Durarara!!

"I'm not doing anything. All the Dollars did that together..."

The holiday isn't over yet. The day after Izaya was stabbed, the scars of the recent incident are still fresh on the city. A pair of classmates wander the town together. A sister keeps an eye on the girl hanging around her brother. A girl tries to strengthen herself to kill the strongest man in town. A set of mischievous twins don't bother to care about their brother. A Russian woman mourns her future. A yakuza clings to his past. A doctor who travels to enjoy his holiday with a recently-relaxed headless dullahan... Ikebukuro is going to be busy!

The Trio that Hopes to be Together Again Couldn't be Further Apart...

When Ikebukuro's underground is set on a collision course, no one is safe. Dollars co-founder, Mikado Ryuugamine, continues his lonely struggle to purge his group of undesirables. Former Yellow Scarves feader, Masaomi Kida, returns to the city to make amends for his past. The owner of the cursed blade Saika, Anri Sonohara, seeks the truth from the two boys who keep leaving her in the dark. The three of them used to be the most important parts of one another's lives, but now their secrets keep them seperated. With a cetain information broker whispering in Mikado's ear, will their friendship survive the color gangs' struggles? Ikebukuro is going to be busy!

A twisted love for humanity...

Izaya Orihara is used to getting his hands dirty, manipulating others for his so-called "love". While working with the Awakusu-kai to locate a group distributing drugs, the information broker finds himself trapped in a dark room with a burlap sack over his head. As with all things Izaya, one of the several reasons for his current predicament can be traced to his youth. Meanwhile, Shinra opens up to Celty about his time in middle school with Izaya and the boy's connection to his scar. Through all the chaos, does Izaya really have everything under control in Ikebukuro?

If your're seeking the extraordinary, be careful what you wish for...

The Dollars and their associates have been disappearing one after the other-but why? Maybe it's connected to the former best friends-though thery're still thinking of each other, they have gone their separate ways, due to their conflicting beliefs. Maybe the fault lies with scheming adults: the Awakusu-kai, the black market dealers, and the information broker. Or maybe it's because of the accident that left one of the bravest Dollars members in critical condition.

"Mikado Ryuugamine and Masaomi Kida are engaging in this meaningless rope crossing. So I wonder, how will they react if I light both ends of the rope on fire?"

With the Chaos amoung the city's color gangs at a high, the Dollars are in disarray. Yumasaki and Togusa worry over Kadota, who is still hospitalized, Mika and Seiji continue to act like lovebirds, Namie is in danger of being abducted, and Shinra remains stuck at home, resting in his living room amid the disorder. Meanwhile, Anri travels to the hospital to visit Kadota and has an unexpected encounter with the mischievous information broker, who forces her to examine her humanity and the troubling question of whether she really is nothing more than a monster. And when Celty's head is thrown into a busy crowd, there's no saving the inhabitants of Ikebukuro from their shock! Will Celty render judgement on those who stole her head...?

Can a monster protect anyone?

Ikebukuro is falling apart. Kujiragi uses Saika to subjugate Shinra, and when the Headless Rider witnesses this, the dullahan becomes a true monster. Masaomi's old enemy Ran Izumii reappears and attacks him. Meanwhile, Saki visits Anri to find out how she feels about Masaomi. Kadota disappears from his hospital room, Celty's head is in someone else's hands, and Shizuo finally comes face-to-face with the one he hates the most... In the midst of all the chaos, what kind of power has Mikado seized-and how does he intend to use it?

As shadow envelops the city, all hell's about to break loose.

The chaos of Ikebukuro, Tokyo, has ensnared everyone who lives there, and all the people connected to the Headless Rider are about to come together. Two boys who used to stand side by side as close friends now face each other, at an impasse. Two men who have been at each other's throats for years are likely to kill each other in their rage. The girl who once felt trapped beyond the picture frame is desperate to be accepted. The odd couple who could have been happy now find their love tested. And through it all, the dullahan resumes its true form. As everyone gathers in the place where the Dollars first met, the curtain will fall on this twisted love story.

In the sequel series to the urban fantasy Durarara!!, Yahiro Mizuchi has come to Tokyo in the hopes of starting a new life (and maybe seeing the Headless Rider), but the famous Dullahan hasn't been seen in half a year-and neither has anyone who's gone to find her!

A year and a half after the end of the Dollars, things are heating up in Ikebukuro again. Between the Headless Rider's return amid rumors of kidnappings, and the Raira freshman who can go toe-to-toe with Shizuo Heiwajima, it's never a dull moment in the city!

A year and a half after the disbandment of the Dollars, the streets of Ikebukuro are plagued by a series of assaults. And the person behind the attacks is... a character from an anime set in Ikebukuro?! Meanwhile, Yahiro and company set out to stop the Ikebukuro crime spree at the behest of Walker and Erika. And as the incident escalates, the Headless Rider can't help but be reminded of the incident involving a certain slasher...

A year and a half after the fall of the Dollars, the trio from Raira Academy pay a visit to Anri and her new antique shop in Ikebukuro. Shortly after a certain someone pressures her to sell them Saika, her business is ransacked. But when Celty gets a tip about Anri and rushes over to her shop, she comes face to face with Akabayashi and others involved with the blade. What further secrets does this cursed weapon keep...?
