DURARARA LIGHT NOVEL VOL 01 (C: 0-1-1)

"There's no shortage of bizarre characters in Ikebukuro; read the light novel series that started the anime and manga phenomenon! 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. "
