Prologue: Welcome to Ikebukuro

Ikebukuro is full of unique people... but who's to say that there aren't other people from their pasts who have since departed? Arriving in Ikebukuro from other cities come a group of people; all with their own lives and secrets… All with their own stories to tell… all of whom were once a part of this infamous section of Tokyo.

Ayumi Ryugazaki, Mifumi Kisaragi, and Chieko Tsubakawa are 3 friends reuniting in Ikebukuro after spending time apart for over a year. All three grew up in the city, attending Raira Academy and becoming intertwined with it's students at the time Shizuo Heiwajima was a student.

Ryugazaki, Ayumi. Her hair is medium length, asymmetrically cut, and black. She has pale lavender eyes, fair skin, a large bust, and glasses for bad vision. She often wears a simple suit, or a suit-like ensemble. Ayumi was a kid with a lot of heart and a lot of time... but her family's profession isn't exactly something to be widely advertised. Ayumi belongs to a faction of yakuza from Hokkaido, but she has not been home in a very long time. Events of her past left her with a twisted mind and a lot of personal issues. After becoming the informant of her city, she began looking up old contacts of her family. And who should she stumble upon but the man she has blamed for the injury of one of her best friends, Izaya Orihara.

Kisaragi, Mifumi. Her hair falls to her shoulders, is dark brown, and her bangs fall slightly in her face. Her eyes are green, as her mother was a foreigner, and she is relatively flat. She is shy, but knows how to act, and she often dresses in very simple outfits. Mifumi was a sheltered girl who was always very shy and very quiet, but she's become famous as a web-idol up and coming to be a great star, but she's still kind of scared to even talk to anyone outside a chatroom, except of course her 2 friends and her associates from Ikebukuro. She knows Kazuka and Ruri through her big sister, who works at the studio and had to bring her to work a couple of times thanks to unforeseen circumstances. She is returning to Ikebukuro after attending her grandmother's funeral.

Tsubakawa, Chieko. Her curled chocolate-brown hair and bright blue eyes are a stunning contrast, and she's always smiling. Her bust isn't all that large, and she seems rather fragile, except compared to Mifumi. The girl loves to make Shizuo blush, though she does not know why. He caught her eye in high school, and she has loved him ever since. Because Shizuo was and is her only love interest, anytime someone hits on her, she is very blunt to reject them, or just ignores them altogether. Chieko was badly injured by Shizuo one day, but completely on accident on the blonde's part. Unfortunately for Shizuo it landed the girl in a hospital for a long time. She is returning to Ikebukuro to seek out Shizuo, wondering if he remembers her.

Now, in this ever famous city of Ikebukuro, where all forms of beings interact, what sort of crazy things will go down when these individuals collide in the streets?
