Synopsis
In the downtown area of Tokyo's Ikebukuro district, strange rumors swirl about anonymous gangs and dangerous individuals, but the most famous urban legend is the headless "Black Rider"—a figure seen riding a jet-black motorcycle through the city streets. Mikado Ryuugamine has always craved the excitement of city life, and an invitation from a childhood friend convinces him to move to Tokyo. On his very first day, he glimpses the Black Rider, and it seems his wish for adventure has been fulfilled. However, as supernatural events unfold, ordinary people like himself, along with Ikebukuro's most eccentric residents, become entangled in the chaos erupting throughout the city.
